Selling your jewellery
Clare Blatherwick is a well-known name in the world of jewellery, and has a little black book filled with enthusiastic private jewellery collectors and trade buyers who she can approach on your behalf. She also has working relationships with multiple auctioneers and can negotiate the best deal on your behalf. She will always place your piece or collection in the arena she knows will achieve the best result for you, which may be with a private buyer, in to the jewellery trade or at auction. She also offers select pieces on her website for private clients.
Buying jewellery at auction
We'll let you into a little secret: buying jewellery at auction isn’t nearly as daunting as it seems with one of the country’s most seasoned auction advisors on your side. As Head of Jewellery for Bonhams in Scotland for 10 years, Clare has attended hundreds of jewellery auctions, and can now share a wealth of insider knowledge with her private clients.
Clare’s knowledge of jewellery auctions will put you at ease, fill you with confidence and give you the best chance of securing that special piece you’ve had your eye on.
Personalised jewellery auction consultancy services
Clare can help guide a private client, corporate body or museum through the entire auction process, or any of the individual stages, from an initial viewing and discussion about the piece, to advising on desirability, condition, age, preferred auction houses and possible outcomes. Placing a bid at auction can be a thrilling experience, but for clients who are unavailable to do so themselves – or would simply rather put the bidding paddle in more experienced hands – Clare is also able to bid on your behalf.
