Sell Jewellery Without the Box or Certificate
Missing documentation does not put a sale out of reach. Fair Vintage may consider jewellery without its original box, certificate or receipt.
Same-day or next-day appointments may be available, subject to availability. We can arrange to meet at a safe, mutually agreed location convenient to you.
Request a ValuationHow missing documentation affects a sale
A box and certificate can support the valuation of certain signed pieces, but many fine items were never kept with them. We assess the piece first and explain how documentation affects value.
Checks that still apply
Whatever the documentation, any purchase remains subject to:
- Authentication and inspection of your jewellery
- Condition assessment
- Ownership and identification checks
- Provenance where appropriate
- Applicable compliance requirements
