The rare beauty of Antique Jewellery, brought to you by Peter Wright

Peter Wright #1.1

What I find marvellous about Antique Jewellery is the rarity of finding two pieces that match identically. In that way, Antique Jewellery is truly unique.

After leaving school in the 1960s, Peter got his start by working in London’s jewellery quarter, Hatton Garden. The experience sparked his passion for antique jewellery – a passion that has stayed with him all his life. Peter has been in the jewellery trade for over 65 years. Among his many qualifications, he holds appraisal certificates from the National Association of Jewellers (UK), a membership in the Society of Jewellery Historians and has worked with some of the most prestigious retailers jewellery houses in London, including Harrods, Mappin & Webb, Chaumet, and Garrard & Co. With his long experience, Peter is invested in Catawiki’s mission of making antique jewellery accessible to passionate buyers. He is committed to ensuring that buyers and sellers have the best possible experience, by offering his advice on their many objects and how to find success in auction.
