UK - Diamond & Jewellery Buying Services
DIAMOND BUYERS AND JEWELLERY BUYERS WITH NO AUCTION FEES AND NO CONSIGNMENT WAIT
Auction houses take a commission before you see a penny and can take months to pay out. Consignment leaves you waiting with no guarantee your pieces will sell at all. At White Pine, our diamond buyers and jewellery buyers cut all of that out — no fees, no commissions, no sitting on a shelf waiting for the right bidder. Just a straight, competitive offer from GIA-trained specialists and same-day payment the moment you decide to sell.

IMPORTANT PIECES, LARGE DIAMONDS AND FAMILY COLLECTIONS
Some sales deserve more than the standard process. If you are selling a significant diamond, a signed or period piece, or jewellery passed down through your family, Dave Padmore in our Birmingham office takes it on personally — one point of contact, a private setting, and payment by bank transfer the day you say yes. There is no upper limit on what we can buy.
SEEN IN PRIVATE, IN BIRMINGHAM
Your piece is assessed in a private room at our Jewellery Quarter office, with Dave walking you through the grading and the figure behind it. Most sellers leave with a decision made. Out-of-hours appointments can be arranged.
COLLECTED, NOT POSTED
Where a piece exceeds the insured Royal Mail pack limit, we send a specialist courier to your home, bank or solicitor at our expense. It is covered from the moment it leaves your hands, sale or no sale.
NOBODY ELSE NEEDS TO KNOW
Nothing is listed, shown to other dealers or attached to your name. A written confidentiality agreement is available before you tell us anything about the piece.
ESTATES AND SHARED INTERESTS
A collection is valued as a whole under one offer, with a written per-item breakdown when several beneficiaries, an executor or a solicitor need to see how it was reached. Selling estate jewellery.

WHAT WE BUY
ANTIQUE, ESTATE, BRANDED & DIAMOND JEWELLERY
We purchase pre-owned jewellery, both branded and unbranded — bracelets, engagement rings, necklaces, pendants, earrings, watches, and more. As one of the biggest recyclers of diamonds and jewellery in the United States and UK, we value your items beyond just the raw materials and make extremely competitive offers. We do not purchase jewellery with lab-grown diamonds.
LOOSE DIAMONDS & MELEE
We purchase breakout melee, certified and uncertified diamonds, fancy shape diamonds, fancy coloured diamonds, single stones, and more. As leading buyers of GIA certified diamonds, our connections in the New York diamond market enable us to pay higher prices than most other buyers. We only purchase natural diamonds — not lab-grown or rough, uncut diamonds.
