Common questions

How do I know if the inherited jewellery is real silver?

Look for hallmarks. UK sterling silver is stamped '925' or carries a lion passant. Please don't worry if you can't find any, as we test everything with XRF regardless of markings.

What if some pieces are plated and some are sterling?

We identify and test every item individually. We do not buy plated items, so your breakdown shows which pieces are sterling, and the plated ones are returned to you free.

Can I keep specific sentimental pieces and sell the rest?

Yes, of course. Our offer is itemised by piece, so you can accept it for individual items and have the others returned. There is no pressure to sell anything you want to keep.

Is the process discreet?

Yes. We handle estate and inheritance valuations regularly and treat all transactions with complete confidentiality.
