Jewellery Auction Specialists
Established in 1826, Lyon & Turnbull is one of the UK's leading jewellery auction houses, with locations in London, Edinburgh and Glasgow. We specialise in buying and selling jewellery at auction, offering expert advice, professional jewellery valuations and access to an international market of collectors.
Our team of specialist gemmologists, including Ruth Davis FGA DGA and Sarah Duncan GG, handle every category of fine jewellery, from antique and designer jewellery to diamonds, coloured gemstones, natural pearls and Scottish freshwater pearls. We regularly present signed jewellery by Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Tiffany & Co., Bulgari and Boucheron, alongside works by celebrated artist jewellers including Andrew Grima, Charles de Temple, JAR and Lalaounis.
Jewellery Auctions in London & Edinburgh
Lyon & Turnbull holds six jewellery auctions each year, with viewings in London and Edinburgh, alongside global online bidding. Whether consigning a single piece or an important private collection, every item benefits from specialist cataloguing, targeted marketing and exposure to an international audience of private collectors, museums and institutions.
Alongside our regular auctions, we are recognised for carefully curated sales celebrating important makers and collections. In 2025, our Cartier Curated auction brought together exceptional jewellery, watches and objets de vertu to coincide with the landmark Cartier exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London.
All sale results shown are inclusive of buyer's premium.
