High-street buyers and online services typically offer a fraction of a ring's open-market value. At auction, signed pieces, fine stones and period settings — Victorian, Art Deco and mid-century — attract competitive international bidding, and you are protected by a reserve you agree in advance.
The four Cs — carat, colour, clarity and cut — set the foundation, but certificates, the maker, the period of the setting and current market demand all matter. Our specialists assess your ring free of charge and explain exactly what drives the estimate.

A classic round brilliant solitaire — the most searched-for ring at auction.

Antique old-cut solitaire, 18ct gold — prized by collectors for hand-cut character.

Contemporary oval solitaire — one of today's most fashionable cuts.

Victorian-style old-cut cluster — period settings carry their own premium.
No cost, no obligation — online, in person or at your home.
Catalogued by specialists and streamed live to global bidders.
Payment by bank transfer two weeks after the auction.
