In their words

Trusted at the table

★★★★★
I took my late mother’s jewellery expecting very little. They talked me through every piece, no pressure at all, and paid more than the shop in town had offered — the same afternoon.
Margaret H. · Gosforth via Google
★★★★★
Proper experts. My grandfather’s watch turned out to be worth a great deal more than I’d assumed — and they explained exactly why.
David R. · Durham via Google
★★★★★
Came to the church hall two streets away. Friendly, honest and completely straight about pricing. Can’t fault them.
Susan T. · Morpeth via Google
★★★★★
Sold a box of old sovereigns and some silver. They weighed everything in front of me and the offer was spot on.
Alan P. · Tynemouth via Google
★★★★★
Brought in a drawer of odds and ends — old chains, a broken brooch, some foreign coins. Everything was sorted, weighed and priced in front of me.
Pauline W. · Hexham via Google
★★★★★
Sold my old Omega and a signet ring. Polite, knowledgeable and not a hint of pressure — the transfer was in my account before I got home.
Geoff M. · Yarm via Google
★★★★★
Took my mother’s tea set in more out of curiosity than anything. They knew exactly what it was and made a fair offer on the spot.
Christine B. · Whitley Bay via Google
★★★★★
Genuinely lovely people. They explained the hallmarks, told me what wasn’t worth selling, and never once rushed me.
