FELLOWS AUCTIONEERS At the heart of Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter is Fellows Auctioneers. Founded in 1876, it is one of the UK’s oldest and most respected firms of auctioneers and valuers. Although long established, it adopts a forward thinking philosophy and has embraced new technologies so that buyers can bid at auction from the comfort of their armchair at home or ‘on the go’ using a mobile device. Fellows hold monthly sales of Antique & Modern Jewellery suited for both the keen collector and the modern day fashionista seeking out a designer bargain. Compared to internet auction sites, the quality of pre-owned jewellery items that come up for sale is significantly better and with specialist valuers in-house ensuring only genuine items go up for sale – buyers have that additional piece of mind. These monthly sales typically feature over 600 lots of glittering jewels that will hopefully compliment the summer sunshine (if we are lucky enough to get it), or at least be a close substitute for the sunshine should the clouds decide to stay. So whether you are looking for
a late 19th century diamond necklace, set with dazzling diamonds or a named piece from designers such as Cartier, Tiffany & Co or Chopard – the Antique & Modern Jewellery sale will most certainly excite. If you’re like most people, you will have sometimes dreamed of having the perfect gleaming watch on your wrist – Fellows Vintage & Modern Wrist Watches sale might just have the piece that you are looking for at a fraction of the retail price.
