From Valuation to Selling: How It Works
Understanding the value of your jewellery is the first step, but for many clients, the real goal is selling their jewellery safely, confidently, and for the best possible price. At Bellmans, our valuation service is directly connected to a simple, transparent and expertly guided selling process.
When you request a valuation, we don’t just tell you what your jewellery is worth, we explain how that value translates into the real market, what your piece could achieve at auction, and the steps involved if you choose to sell.
Whether you’re looking to sell a diamond ring, vintage brooch, gold necklace or luxury watch, our specialists ensure a smooth path from appraisal to sale.
With every valuation, you’ll receive:
- A professional, market-led estimate of what your jewellery could achieve at auction
- Honest guidance on current buyer demand
- Clear next steps if you decide to sell your jewellery through Bellmans
- Support from specialists who can manage the entire process on your behalf
This bridge between valuation and selling ensures that you’re informed, supported, and empowered to make the right decision for you, whether you’re selling a single heirloom or an entire collection.
