Why Sell Your Jewellery to Walter Bull & Son?

Selling jewellery can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re not sure where to go or how it works. Walter Bull & Son has been helping people sell their jewellery for over 140 years, so you can trust us to give you an honest valuation and a great experience with no obligation to sell.

We’re known for offering fair prices for second-hand and antique jewellery with no waiting around. Unlike an auction where you may wait months for your item to be auctioned we offer you a fair price for the purchase and pay you instantly. There are no hidden or unknown auction fees and our team include qualified gemmologists who know exactly what your jewellery is worth. Our longstanding reputation as a part of Cirencester high street means we are trusted in our community and will be honest with you.

Why Not Sell At An Auction?

You might think auctions are the best way to get a high price for your jewellery, but they often aren’t:

High Fees Eat Into Your Profit: Auction houses charge buyers up to 30% in fees, which means they bid lower. Plus, you’ll face seller fees, insurance, and listing costs.
It Takes a long time: You could be waiting months before your jewellery is sold and even longer before you’re paid.
No Guarantees: If your jewellery doesn’t meet its reserve price, you’re still stuck with fees and might have to re-list it.

Selling directly to Walter Bull & Son avoids this. Most of the time we will give you an upfront offer and your money the same day, you are however under no obligation to sell to us. Often, sellers go away and think about it before coming back to us.
