Our Story

Expertise, Brought Together

Our team has spent years dealing in jewellery, watches, bullion, coins, antiques and other objects of value, working with private clients, collectors and businesses across the country.

What brings us together is a genuine fascination with the things people bring through the door. We have a particular appreciation for quality, craftsmanship and objects that were made by hand rather than simply mass produced. Add a love of history, and there is always something new to uncover — an origin, a maker, a period, a style, a technique, a story, or a piece whose significance is not immediately obvious.

That curiosity runs throughout our team. It is ultimately why we do what we do: taking the time to understand an item properly, explain what we see, and make sure its value is considered from every angle.

Our expertise spans a remarkably broad range: jewellery from medieval to modern, watches of all periods with a particular love for vintage, antique art, coins, bullion, militaria, antiques, cameras and carefully selected collectables.

Rather than asking everyone to come to us, we put the dealer’s bench on the road. Since 2020, that has meant roadshow valuation days across the Cotswolds, the Midlands and the South West, alongside a postal service for those who cannot attend in person.

Cotswold Gold Exchange is the trading name of Oodles Precious Metals Ltd, established 2020.
