Selling a piece is rarely a casual decision. Maybe a relative passed it on and it has sat in a drawer for years. Maybe you are clearing an estate, or freeing up funds for something you will actually wear. Hatton Garden is the sensible place to do it, because here you can walk a single street and get more than one offer in an afternoon.
The 21 buyers listed here assess metal content and hallmarks first, then look at any stones, the maker or brand where it matters, and the overall condition and workmanship. Diamonds are graded on cut, colour, clarity and carat, and a good buyer will explain how each affects the figure rather than just quoting a round number. If a piece carries a strong signature or a recognised watch brand, that can lift the price well above scrap.
Once you accept, deals usually settle the same day, subject to ID and the standard compliance checks. It is worth getting an independent valuation before you sell anything unusual, so you know the floor before you negotiate. If the item is older or signed, dealers who handle antique jewellery often pay more than a general gold buyer would.
Compare two or three of the buyers below before you part with anything. A short walk between counters can make a real difference to what you take home.
