Jewellery & Watches

Jewellery or a designer watch to sell? Hansons Auctioneers Jewellery and Watch Auctions can help your item achieve its glittering potential in the saleroom.

All types of jewellery and designer watches are sought after and can achieve outstanding results. For example a 1970s Tudor Rolex watch, which had been worn at work and in the garden, sold for £51,100 in Hansons Auctioneers’ Fine Jewellery & Watches Auction. We have seen many successes with diamond rings, too. A 5ct solitaire diamond ring of exquisite quality sold for £92,000.

World Of Treasures

Many other precious stones such as emeralds, rubies, opals and aquamarine star in jewellery designs from across the centuries. And this rich array of treasures attract buyers from all over the world. They’re fascinated by our discoveries which include everything from Victorian mourning jewellery to modern designer classics.

As well as  assessing antique, vintage and costume jewellery, there’s a strong market for designer watches. Think makes like Rolex, Omega, Cartier and Longines. Pocket watches do well as auction too. And, of course, gold prices are booming.

Our jewellery department is led by Hansons’ associate director Helen Smith. She has years of experience as a valuer and is an expert on gem stones and the history of jewellery. Helen offers free jewellery and watch valuations at our Head Office in Etwall, Derbyshire.
