Specialists in Hatton Garden
Antique Jewellery
Antique jewellery rewards a closer look. The way a Victorian setting holds an old-cut stone, the soft glow of Georgian rose gold, the clean geometry of Art Deco from the 1920s, none of it photographs the way it reads in the hand. Hatton Garden has dealers who handle this material every week, which is exactly why you come here rather than buying blind online.
Buying with your eyes open
The 13 specialists listed here stock genuine period pieces, from Georgian and Victorian through Edwardian and Art Deco. Expect rings, brooches, lockets, bracelets and the occasional signed item, much of it sourced from auctions and private collections. A reputable dealer will happily talk you through the hallmarks, the likely era, any restoration that has been done, and the practical points that matter once you own it, such as clasp security and whether a ring can safely be resized.
Condition and originality drive value here, so ask whether stones are original to the piece or later replacements. Many of these businesses also offer repairs using period-appropriate techniques, and most can arrange an independent valuation for insurance once you buy.
- What is the approximate date, and what is that based on?
- Has anything been restored, replaced or re-tipped?
- Are the stones original to the piece?
- Can you provide paperwork or provenance?
Check opening hours and confirm the returns terms before you travel. Many of these dealers prefer an appointment for higher-value pieces, so it is worth a call first. Browse the listings below to start a shortlist.
