UK-based experts in antique and vintage gold jewellery, with over 82 years of combined experience sourcing, authenticating and selling genuine hallmarked pieces.
Every piece of antique jewellery we offer is a genuine, wearable piece of history — professionally assessed, authenticated and selected for its craftsmanship, provenance and enduring value.
At Heirloom Gold, we specialise in antique and vintage gold jewellery from the Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco periods. We are drawn to traditional craftsmanship — old-cut stones, hand engraving, and hand-finished settings that cannot be replicated by modern mass production.
Provenance matters. We carefully examine hallmarks, assay office stamps, and period-specific construction techniques to ensure every piece is correctly attributed and accurately described. Whether it originates from a Birmingham assay office in the 19th century or a later vintage period, each item is documented and understood before it reaches our collection.
We actively source and rescue original gold jewellery that would otherwise be lost to melting. Every item is individually inspected, authenticated and prepared for resale, ensuring our customers can buy with confidence.
