Years ago l got some long service money from work and bought myself this bracelet from Goldsmiths. It’s a cuff type bracelet and was always a snug fit but since then I’ve developed Arthritis and my wrists are thicker, haven’t worn it for 15 plus years.

It’s in perfect condition, Goldsmiths don’t buy second hand jewellery, eBay won’t let me list anything over £3k but I’d be very dubious about using eBay. A friend enquired at a jewellers she uses and they weren’t interested.

gucci no longer makes the bracelet and the prices are high.

Does anyone know anywhere that buys secondhand designer jewellery, that are trustworthy please.

If you decide against having an extra link put in, then definitely take it to an auction house. Many have specialist jewellery sales, choose one of those that also puts their auctions online. Set a reserve.

Pawn broker. Go to a high end one, other will give you a fair price as they know oh w they can sell it every day of the week.

Pawn brokers will offer less than scrap, they're in it to make money. As far as they are concerned it's just a load of 18ct, that if the pledge is not redeemed they need to liquidate.
