Our online jewellery auctions offer a convenient and accessible way to buy and sell a wide range of pieces, from antique and vintage items to contemporary designer jewellery. 

Bourne End Auction Rooms host regular online auctions featuring detailed descriptions and expert valuations, attracting collectors and buyers worldwide. These auctions provide opportunities to find unique and valuable items, often at competitive prices, with transparent bidding processes and secure transactions. 

Whether you’re looking to purchase rare gems or sell your own jewellery, our online jewellery auctions are a popular and trusted option.

How does an online jewellery auction work?

At an online jewellery auction, sellers list their pieces with detailed descriptions, photos, and often expert appraisals. Buyers browse the catalogue and place bids within a set timeframe. The auction typically runs for several days, allowing multiple participants to compete by increasing their bids. 

When the auction ends, the highest bidder wins the item and is required to complete the purchase. Payments and shipping arrangements are then handled through the auction platform, ensuring a secure and transparent transaction for both parties.

How to sell jewellery at an online auction?

To sell jewellery at an online auction, follow these steps:

1. Choose a reputable auction platform — like Bourne End Auction Rooms, Sotheby’s, Christie’s, Bonhams, or specialised online auction sites.
2. Get your jewellery appraised by a professional to understand its value and set realistic expectations.
3. Register as a seller on the auction site and review their terms and fees.
4. Submit detailed information and photos of your jewellery, including certificates of authenticity if available.
5. Set a reserve price (the minimum you’re willing to accept) if the platform allows.
6. Approve the auction listing and schedule the auction date.
7. Promote your auction through social media or your network if possible to attract more bidders.
8. Once the auction ends, the highest bidder wins, and you’ll receive payment through the platform after fees are deducted.
9. Ship the jewellery securely to the buyer, following the auction house’s instructions.
