Auctioneum holds monthly specialist jewellery auctions featuring everything from high-end antique jewellery, to retro and modern designer pieces. We have auction houses in Bristol and Bath, and bidding can be done online or in person.
Our specialist jewellery and silver auctions feature a wide variety of sought-after items, including Georgian, Victorian, Mid-Century and contemporary fine jewellery, as well as designer costume jewellery. We are proud to present a range of fresh-to-market items from private consignments, deceased estates and house clearances – from all around the UK.
We’ve sold it all, from world-renowned contemporary jewellery, antique watches and silver from makers such as Rolex, Cartier, Tiffany, Elkington, and Mappin & Webb.
In-House Gemmological Expertise You Can Trust
Unlike traditional salerooms that rely on outsourced or freelance valuers, Auctioneum offers direct, in-house specialist authority. Our Jewellery Department is spearheaded by Director Samantha McPherson (ASFAV, FGA, DGA) - a Fellow of the Gemmological Association holding the prestigious Diamond Diploma from the Gemmological Association of Great Britain.
Equipped with state-of-the-art laboratory testing facilities, our team offers unmatched accuracy in identifying, appraising, and valuing rare gemstones, fine metals, and luxury heirlooms. This ensures your high-end pieces are expertly catalogued and marketed to achieve maximum market value.
Dedicated Specialist Auctions
Unlike many salerooms that bury fine jewellery inside broad, mixed auctions alongside furniture and ceramics, we hold dedicated, standalone sales specifically for jewellery, gold, and silver. By creating highly focused events rather than diluting precious pieces in general catalogues, we ensure your items aren't overlooked. Our targeted model attracts a concentrated global audience of serious collectors, specialist trade buyers, and active private investors who are specifically seeking high-end gemstones and precious metals. Presenting your collection in a dedicated, high-profile environment maximizes lot visibility, drives fierce bidding competition, and delivers the strong hammer prices your piece deserves.
Our specialist jewellery auctions are LIVE sales, meaning collectors from around the world can bid online during the sale or turn up to our saleroom and bid in-person. This LIVE auction format also means that we're able to host our sales across a multitude of different bidding platforms, exposing your items to the largest possible audience. This, coupled with our expert knowledge, sets us aside from other salerooms.
Sell With the Specialists
We offer free, no-obligation appraisals, probate valuations, and house visits for substantial private collections. Drop in between 9:00 AM and 5:30 PM (Monday or Friday), or contact our specialist team today to unlock the true value of your fine jewellery.
