Pawnbroking

Use your gold jewellery as security for a loan, pay back what you like when you like over 6 months.   Much better value than payday loans!  We are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority for consumer credit activities

Jewellery and Watch Repairs

From the simplest chain repair to a complete rebuild.
Don't despair if your jewellery is damaged, the repair may be a lot cheaper and simpler than you think!

Insurance Valuations

Required by insurance companies for valuable jewellery.
It can be used to prove who owns stolen jewellery, and, if the jewellery is lost, how much it would cost to replace it.

Probate Valuations

Needed when settling the estate.  It's the amount the jewellery would be worth if sold to a dealer
