When you have luxury jewellery, gold, coins or designer goods to sell, you deserve a premium experience and great prices, which is why it pays to go to experts like Newcastle business owner Casey Lane and her team. The young entrepreneur founded Lanes & Co , her city centre-based luxury buying and selling business, in May last year. However, she’s no novice; having been in the industry for seven years, she has been able to draw on her reserves of knowledge, experience and - crucially - her extensive network of buyers who appreciate high quality luxury goods.

As a result, she is able to offer the highest possible prices for jewellery, diamonds and coins in the area, as well as the highest price for gold per gram in the North East. “After seven years of working throughout the auction and luxury goods industry, both buying and selling, I have seen markets change, and the different reasons that people may sell," Casey explained. “The jewellery and luxury goods sector is taking over, and that is the basis of Lanes & Co - a hub of luxury that I think the city centre was missing.

" People come to Casey to sell a variety of luxury items, with her biggest areas being gold coins and bars, as well as gold and diamond jewellery. It does not stop with precious metals: they also deal with jewellery created by household names like Tiffany & Co, Cartier, Chanel and many more. Some of Casey's customers have been collectors for decades, while others may have inherited valuable collections.
