Sell Jewelry & Watches

Selling family heirlooms or treasured possessions can be an emotional and difficult process. At Betteridge, we are sensitive to your decision and need for confidentiality.

We have been buying jewelry and watches from customers since 1897. Over this time, we have always believed that there is nothing more important than maintaining our integrity and reputation. Whether we are buying or selling fine jewelry, we offer confidentiality, expert counsel, fair value and superb service.

Simon Teakle, the former Director of Jewelry at Christies, and Terry Betteridge, the owner and Chief Executive Officer of Betteridge, have over sixty years of cumulative experience in the jewelry industry and have a genuine appreciation for fine objects and acquiring exquisite estates.

Simon and Terry will guide you through the selling process, explaining what each object is and why it is valued at a particular amount. They will be happy to discuss the merits of anything that you would like to sell from less expensive family heirlooms to magnificent rarities.

Betteridge buys jewelry and watches from customers outright; experience has taught us that objects brought in on consignment do not achieve the best results for their owner.

In every period in history, there have been a few great jewelry and watch designers that have defined the essence of beauty. We are most excited to acquire estate jewelry from the finest design houses, including Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, Tiffany, Harry Winston and JAR, as well as watches from Patek Philippe, Rolex, A. Lange & Sohne, Cartier, F.P. Journe and Breguet, amongst others. However, every potential purchase is treated with the same level of attention, confidentiality and care.

To discuss the possibility of selling your fine jewelry or watches to Betteridge, please contact a sales representative at (203)869-0124 to set up an appointment.
