Jewellery Consultancy

Antique Jewellery Sourcing & Advisory

I offer personalised antique and vintage jewellery sourcing and independent advisory services to private clients. My advisory work includes guidance on purchasing and curation, heirloom consultation, valuation guidance, impartial advice and access to trusted trade contacts.

Whether you are searching for a specific piece, beginning a collection, or seeking informed advice on jewellery you already own, I provide support at every stage. This ranges from sourcing exceptional pieces to offering acquisition guidance, collection reviews and long-term curation. I also act as an independent advisor between clients and the trade, ensuring clarity and confidence when investing in antique jewellery.

Creative Consultancy

I write and speak on the history of jewellery, collaborating with publications, editors and curators to bring specialist knowledge to a wider audience. My work explores jewellery history, material culture, fashion and women’s history.

I contribute articles and essays, deliver talks, and work with cultural organisations to interpret jewellery for exhibitions and events. Through research-led storytelling, I help translate historical material into engaging, accessible content. Alongside this, I provide historical accuracy consultancy and specialist antique jewellery sourcing for editorial commissions and creative projects. This might involve advising on period detail, conducting contextual research, or sourcing authentic pieces.

Trade Consultancy

I provide specialist consultancy for antique jewellery dealers, auction houses, museums and brands. Drawing on my background in jewellery history and gemmology, I transform research into clear, engaging narratives that connect objects to their broader historical and emotional contexts. My work supports both curatorial and commercial needs, including:

  • Archival and provenance research

  • Stylistic and material analysis

  • Collection cataloguing and documentation

  • Essays for exhibitions, catalogues and private archives

  • Consultation for acquisition or exhibition planning

  • Heritage content creation, storytelling and strategy

Research & Cataloguing

I undertake in-depth research and cataloguing for dealers, auction houses, collectors and institutions. This service provides a historical foundation behind valuations, sales, exhibitions and collection management. Drawing on archival sources and material analysis, I produce detailed documentation that brings clarity and context to individual pieces and entire collections.

My work includes detailed object research and historical analysis, archival and provenance research, cataloguing and proofreading and condition reports. I also prepare historical essays for individual pieces and whole collections.
