Offering Immediate Payment for Antique and Vintage Boxed Jewellery
Old boxed jewellery, particularly antique boxed jewellery, represents a true blend of artistry, history, and undeniable value. Whether it’s been passed down through generations or acquired and held onto as a treasured investment, each carries a unique story, often reflected in its original luxury packaging.
We recognise the importance of preserving both the jewellery and its authenticity, as these boxes often hold the key to proving provenance and boosting market value. With our bespoke and completely free valuations, we can also offer privacy, comfort, and immediate payment should you decide to sell your boxed pieces.

Why Boxes are Significant When Selling Old Jewellery Sets
Boxed jewellery holds a unique place in the world of antique and vintage valuables. The original packaging, often designed to complement the craftsmanship of the jewellery, can offer more than aesthetic appeal. It provides a vital connection to the piece’s history, legitimacy, and provenance.
For collectors and buyers, the presence of an original box can help authenticate a piece, giving insight into its origin, maker, and even the era in which it was created. This can add a layer of confidence in the authenticity of the jewellery, though it does not necessarily guarantee a higher market value.
We Have an Expert Approach When Buying Boxed Jewellery
We take a careful approach to evaluating boxed jewellery in preparation for buying. While the presence of a box is certainly a positive factor, we focus primarily on the quality, rarity, and condition of the piece itself. The box serves as an additional context for our evaluation, helping us understand the item’s journey over time. By looking at the full picture, we can provide an accurate and fair valuation without making assumptions solely based on the packaging.
Our experience ensures that each piece of boxed jewellery is assessed thoroughly and objectively, offering you the confidence of an honest appraisal.
Why Burlingtons is the Best Place to Sell Boxed Jewellery
Choosing us means opting for a unique and tailored approach to selling your boxed jewellery – one that places your convenience and financial interests at the forefront. Unlike traditional auction houses, which often involve lengthy processes, hidden fees, and impersonal service, we offers a streamlined, discreet, and client-focused experience.
Personalised Valuations Across the UK
We prioritise good service and close working relationships. Our founder, Daniel Ives, has over 25 years of experience in the luxury goods and antique jewellery market, and he handles valuations personally.
By visiting you in the comfort of your own home, he ensures that the process is private and tailored to your needs, eliminating the hassle of transporting valuable items or attending public auctions. This direct interaction allows for a more precise and honest valuation, with no middlemen and no uncertainty.
Immediate Payment on All Sold Items
One of the key advantages of our service is that we offer immediate payment. Auction houses can take months to finalise a sale, and sellers are often left waiting for their proceeds after the auction, further reduced by commissions and other hidden fees. At Burlingtons, once a valuation is completed and an offer is accepted, payment is made on the spot, so you receive the full amount swiftly and without deductions.
No Hidden Costs
Unlike auction houses, which typically charge commission fees ranging from 15-25%, we operate with complete transparency. There are no listing fees, insurance costs, or commissions to worry about. What you’re offered is what you receive, allowing you to maximise your return without the frustration of unexpected charges.
Decades of Industry Expertise
With our extensive network of international collectors and deep market knowledge, we can often offer better valuations than those provided by auction houses, especially for rare or niche pieces. Our reputation is built on trust, integrity, and results, making us the preferred choice for clients looking to sell their high-value boxed jewellery.
Understanding Your Reasons for Selling Boxed Jewellery
Whatever your reason for deciding to part with your jewellery, we’re dedicated to providing a straightforward and respectful selling process that caters to both your personal needs and the inherent value of your pieces.
We also understand that each client’s situation is unique, and we offer flexibility to meet your specific requirements, whether you are:
- Converting inherited jewellery into its monetary equivalent, to better meet your current goals.
- Streamlining your collection as part of a downsizing effort or to create a more minimalist living space.
- Refreshing your jewellery collection to suit your evolving tastes and modern preferences.
- Raising funds to achieve major financial objectives or explore new opportunities.
- Preparing for important life milestones, such as marriage, welcoming a child, or transitioning into retirement.
The Emotional Side of Selling Items
Selling boxed jewellery can be an emotional and complex decision, often accompanied by concerns about the process. For many clients, these items are tied to personal memories, family heritage, or significant life events. Parting with items like this can feel daunting, and the emotional weight of these decisions is something we take very seriously. We are here to provide not only financial expertise but also empathy and care.
Fair Prices for your Boxed Jewellery
At Burlingtons, we approach every valuation with thorough research, honesty, and transparency. Our experts ensure that each piece is evaluated with the attention it deserves, offering a fair and market-informed price. Where possible or necessary, they’ll also relay this information to you to help you make an informed decision.

Excellent service. Fast and efficient.

Very happy with his expert advice and valuation for the jewellery.
No nonsense and all settled very quickly.

Although they claim on their website to offer better prices than those achievable at auction, I was offered less than half the scrap value for multiple silverware items. I was told that although a 4 piece silver tea set was in good condition, it had no real saleable value as “people don’t really want to buy silver tea sets”. I was also told that I would have to subtract the weight of 3 bakelite handles, and that this would be 500 grams. When I took the handle off a damaged teapot I was sending for scrap, it weighed 48 grams. So a certain amount of inflation was going on there! When I said that I was not prepared to accept the offer, I was asked “Well what are you going to do with it then?” It felt like I was being pressured to sell at the very low offer. I politely declined. Today, I scrapped a damaged silver teapot and 2 small jugs (970g) for more than half the offer made by Burlington’s, and the tea set (2kg) will go to auction.

Craig visited my home a short while ago, to value some jewellery and provided some excellent advice. Craig presented a thorough valuation all while, maintaining a no-pressure approach. The valuation was fair, and Craig came across as a genuinely kind and courteous person. I would thoroughly recommend Burlingtons Ltd, to anyone looking for a professional and a trustworthy valuation.
