Sell Inherited Gold & Estate Jewellery
Selling inherited gold needs a careful valuation — jewellery, coins, bars and mixed boxes. Fine Jewellery Buyers offers private Hatton Garden appointments and discreet insured postage for estates.
Inherited gold is often a mix: 9ct chains, 18ct rings, sovereigns in a drawer, a broken bracelet and the odd designer piece. A single scrap quote on the whole box leaves money on the table. We sort metal, stones and coins separately.
Executors and families can book a private valuation at 88–90 Hatton Garden or send a photographed inventory first. We work through probate timescales, explain each line of the offer, and pay by bank transfer in the estate or beneficiary name as instructed.
High-value estates — several ounces of 18ct, bars, or signed jewellery — should use the £5,000+ or £15,000+ expected-price band on the valuation form so a senior valuer handles the file.

Questions people ask
How do I sell inherited gold in the UK?+
Photograph the collection or book a private valuation at Fine Jewellery Buyers, 88–90 Hatton Garden. We sort jewellery, coins and bars, give a line-by-line offer, and pay the same day you accept.
Can executors sell gold from an estate?+
Yes. Bring photo ID and estate authority where required. We can pay the estate or a named beneficiary. Ask us before you post high-value items.
Should I sell inherited jewellery as scrap?+
Not until it has been sorted. Designer pieces, diamonds and coins are often worth more than scrap gold. We only melt what has no better market.
