A remote route that still feels personal
When travelling is awkward or you live further away, a postal jewellery valuation can make selling much easier. No journey, no jewellery box juggling. We use this route to assess unwanted jewellery, silver pieces and watches for potential purchase, while keeping the process clear before anything is sent. From Bournemouth, we begin with an enquiry by phone or message, ask for photos and details, then confirm what is suitable to post and what information should go with it. With Elizabeth Jewellers, you still receive three valuations before deciding whether to sell, so the remote process remains transparent and not just convenient. Discover more jewellery and watches through our live online auctions on Whatnot, eBay and Facebook. Send your jewellery images and available details through WhatsApp for our team to consider.
How to prepare items for postal appraisal
Grouping items by type, noting visible hallmarks and adding a simple item list can help us appraise your parcel more accurately once it arrives. Secure packaging and a tracked, signed service are sensible steps for valuable pieces, and we can discuss what details to include with your contact information before you send anything. After appraisal, we talk you through the valuation and the buying offer, then explain the next step if you want to proceed or prefer the items returned. At Elizabeth Jewellers, we keep that communication plain and easy to follow. Explore selected pieces through our live jewellery and watch sales on Whatnot, eBay and Facebook.
Frequently asked questions
What can we assess through the post?
We can discuss unwanted jewellery, silver pieces and watches that may be suitable for remote appraisal. The first message helps us decide whether posting is sensible for your items, and we explain what we need to see or know before you prepare the parcel.
What should go in the parcel with my items?
A simple item list, your contact details and any helpful notes on hallmarks, stones, brand names or watch paperwork can make the appraisal smoother. Keeping pieces grouped and clearly identified also reduces confusion and helps us give a more accurate valuation discussion.
What if I decide not to sell after the valuation?
You are still free to say no. Once we have assessed the items and shared the valuations, we explain the next step if you wish to proceed and what the return arrangement looks like if you do not. The choice remains yours, and we keep the process clear rather than pushy.
