Run this question via any search engine and you will be overwhelmed at the response. ‘Jewellery bought for cash!’, ‘’An instant cash price!’, ‘Same day payment!’; they all speak of the immediacy of a speedy transaction, cash in hand and a job done. If you are wanting to sell an antique, family heirloom or a contemporary, branded piece of jewellery, it can be hard to know where to start in London.

Delve a little further, and Hatton Garden known as ‘London’s jewellery quarter’ is the ultimate destination to find dealers specialising in gemstones, watches and, of course, diamonds. Associated with the jewellery trade since medieval times, the area became known as Hatton Garden in the 16th century after Sir Christopher Hatton and has also evolved into a global centre for the bullion trade, largely due to its proximity to London’s financial institutions. It is a busy hub of activity with nearly 300 jewellery-related businesses vying for your trade.
However seductive the same-day transaction might be, it is worth bearing in mind that, when you sell to the trade, the price you are given will factor in the next stage of the chain – the profit that your jewellery dealer needs to make when selling your piece on. And this will determine the cash you walk away with.
