Testimonials

C. McBright, Paington

"My late wife left instructions that her jewellery collection be sold following her passing and the proceeds donated to certain charities. Being a man I knew absolutely nothing about jewellery but Rachel was able to expertly guide me on what each piece was, what it was made of, what it's value was and where was the best place for me to sell it. As a result I think I was able to get the best price for each item and to donate many thousands of pounds to the charities. I would not hesitate to recommend Rachel to anyone wanting their jewellery appraised."
