Simply order your free postage pack, send us your items, and one of our experienced team members will personally assess them. You’ll receive a clear, expert valuation - usually within just two working days.
No automated estimates, no pressure to sell, and absolutely no fees.
Looking at the photos, you can see a mix of everyday items that have been tucked away in drawers, inherited, or simply forgotten over time. Each group was sent in by someone who wasn’t sure if it was worth anything at all.
If your jewellery looks anything like the groups shown here, it’s well worth having it properly assessed.
Pieces from designers like Trifari, Dior, Chanel, Givenchy, Butler & Wilson and Ola Gorie – especially vintage pieces are highly collectable today.
We value your jewellery as collectors do—not as scrap.
That means assessing each piece, often resulting in significantly higher offers than scrap dealers or auction sites.
We’re selective about what we buy.
We’re not really looking for modern, mass-produced throwaway fashion jewellery – our focus is on quality vintage pieces with real collector appeal.
Not sure what you have? Send it in – our experienced team will identify and offer a fair price for it.
Trifari, Monet, Napier, Coro, Miriam Haskell are just some of the names we look for.
Bangles, brooches and clips in this early plastic are prized by collectors worldwide.
Art Deco and mid-century marcasite brooches, rings and earrings have value.
Heavier rolled gold and gold-filled pieces from the 1880s to 1980s are always wanted.
Venetian glass and Czech crystal from the mid-century era.
Real amber, jet, coral and shell jewellery, whether vintage or antique.
We’ll send you free postage labels and a handy guide.

Within two working days. Accept and we pay by bank transfer or Special Delivery cash. Decline and everything is returned to you, free.
Verified"I've used Vintage CashCow in the past, which was a very faceless, uninspiring experience. Was Gathering Dust is the complete opposite."

We’re a small, experienced team based in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire. When you call, you speak to a real person. When your items arrive, they’re assessed by hand by people who genuinely love vintage jewellery.
We’ve been doing this for over 30 years, and we treat every parcel as if it were our own family’s treasures.
"I was very hesitant to send my items but I really should not have. The process was so easy. They sent me a letter with details of everything and an offer that was more than I expected."
"I would highly recommend this company. Quick and easy process and an offer that exceeded my expectations."
We send you labels and you drop the box at any Post Office. Or we'll arrange collection.
Don't like our offer? Every item is returned to you at no cost. No questions asked.
Our service is completely free whether you accept or decline.
Your items are insured from the moment they leave your hands until they're returned
You’ll see large national buying services advertised on television. They process enormous volumes of mixed items, which works for some sellers. Our service is built differently and is better suited to people who want their jewellery looked at properly.
A small team, not a sorting line. Every parcel is opened and assessed by someone who genuinely knows vintage costume jewellery. We’ve handled Trifari, Bakelite, Miriam Haskell and the rest hundreds of times. No bulk processing, no automated valuation system.
A real person on the other end. WhatsApp a photo and you’ll hear back from a member of the team, not an automated reply. Call us and the phone is answered by the people who’d assess your parcel.
Two working days, not two weeks. Larger services often take one to three weeks to come back with an offer because of the volume they’re handling. We aim to give you ours within two working days of your parcel arriving.
No big advertising overhead. We don’t run national television campaigns. That keeps the business smaller deliberately, which means we can spend more time on each parcel rather than racing through them.
Yes, often more than people expect. Vintage costume jewellery from the 1920s through to the 1980s is actively collected worldwide. Value comes from the designer, the era, the design and the condition, not the precious metal content. We regularly pay £50 to £300+ for good quality costume pieces.
Not at all. Our team are experienced in identifying makers, periods and styles. You don’t need to research anything before sending. Just pack it up and let us do the detective work.
We assess each piece based on what collectors and dealers will pay for it as a finished, wearable item or collectible. This means we consider the designer, the era, the condition, the design and current market demand.
No problem at all. We return every single item to you for free, in the same condition we received them. There is no charge and no obligation at any stage.
You can, but selling individual pieces on eBay takes time, and requires you to identify, photograph and describe each item accurately. With us, you send one box, we assess everything professionally, and you receive a single offer within two working days.
Please don’t. Cleaning can sometimes reduce the value of vintage pieces by removing desirable patina or damaging delicate surfaces. Send everything as-is.
None at all. Postage is free, returns are free, and there is no valuation fee. Our service costs you nothing whether you accept our offer or not.
We assess your items within two working days of receiving your parcel. Once you accept our offer, we can send payment the same day by bank transfer or by cash via Royal Mail Special Delivery.
No obligation, no fees, no risk. Just real valuations from people who know what they're looking at.
