First State Auctions

First State Auctions is Australia’s leading jewellery auction house specialising in fine jewellery, Swiss watches, gemstones and Designer bags. Since launching in Sydney in 1995, First State Auctions has provided a better way to purchase quality jewellery pieces - often at below wholesale prices. Today, we hold weekly online jewellery, Swiss watch and designer bag auctions serving Australia, New Zealand and an international customer base. We pride ourselves in being the only jewellery auction house owned and operated by gemmologists and diamond graders. All jewellery submitted for auction is checked by at least 2 in-house gemmologists, that’s why we can unconditionally guarantee the accuracy of all auction catalogue descriptions. You can bid at our auctions with the knowledge that you are getting what you paid for. We are very proud to have been selected by Commonwealth of Australia government departments as their auctioneers in the sale of seized and recovered jewellery. Our services range from acting on behalf of liquidators in jewellery business insolvencies to selling on behalf of private vendors. We strive to make each auction an exciting event, full of fun and offering an easy way to buy jewellery that is both affordable and beautiful.
