Borrow against diamond earrings at a fixed 5% monthly rate, with a defined borrowing cost while your valuable jewellery is held securely for the duration of the loan.

Get a Free Valuation

We assess the earrings and studs as a matched pair, looking at total carat weight, cut, colour, clarity, fluorescence, setting, metal, fastening, condition, and supporting certificates. Once appraised, we look for supporting evidence from comparables at recent auction houses.

Your offer and repayment position are explained before the earrings are accepted as security. There are no unexplained extras added once the agreement is underway, even if you decide to close your loan early.

Get a Free Valuation

The value lies in the earrings themselves. We focus on the diamonds, workmanship, authenticity and resale potential rather than requesting a conventional financial background check that can affect your credit rating.

Get a Free Valuation

Once the pair has been physically examined and the documentation completed, we can typically arrange a bank transfer without unnecessary delay, with payments often arriving in as little as two hours.

You may bring the loan to an early close and collect your diamond earrings at any point of your agreed period, without paying a separate fee for early repayment.

Honest reviews about New Bond Street Pawnbrokers

How we value your Diamond Earrings

Call us or fill in the form on our website

You can begin pawning your diamond earrings or studs with an online enquiry (by filling in our contact form), by telephone, email, or in person by simply visiting our pawn shop in Mayfair, Central London (just off Oxford Street).

Clear photographs and supporting documents allow us to provide an initial indication, but the final loan offer follows a physical appraisal. For the quickest assessment of your diamond earrings and studs as collateral, please provide our pawnbrokers with:

– Front, side and rear photographs of each earring separately.
– Close-ups of the diamonds, settings, posts, clips and backs.
– Images of hallmarks, maker’s marks and serial numbers.
– GIA reports, invoices, receipts and previous valuation documents.
– Details of any repair, alteration, missing component or known damage.
– Photographs of branded boxes, pouches and certificates where relevant.

Once we have inspected the earrings, agreed the loan amount and completed the paperwork, funds are normally transferred on the same day, often within 2 hours.

More complex earrings may require further work. A pair of antique drops, coloured-diamond earrings, multi-stone earrings with no documentation, or a branded pair that appears to have altered fittings may need additional research before we can make a final offer.

In brief, please provide us with as many details on your earrings, including carat weight, cut, clarity, and colour details. To expedite our initial assessment process, please send us high-resolution photos and certificates.

Step‑by‑step valuation: how to pawn diamond jewellery in Central London

2. Review Diamond Earrings

Our fine jewellery experts will carry out a physical appraisal of both earrings, treating a pair of diamond studs as two related but individually valued diamonds. Our pawnbrokers for diamond earrings do not assume the second stone matches the first merely because the pair was sold together.

For each diamond earring, our pawnbrokers will check your expensive earrings for:

– The main diamond’s shape, measurements and estimated carat weight.
– Colour, clarity, cut quality, fluorescence and visible inclusions.
– Whether the stone is natural, laboratory-grown, treated or potentially a simulant.
– The make of the diamond.
– Whether the diamond has been repolished, recut, chipped or damaged.
– The setting type and security of the claws, bezel, halo or pavé work.
– The earring fitting.
– Metal purity, hallmarks, signatures and signs of alteration.
– Whether the stones match in diameter, colour, clarity, fluorescence and overall appearance.

For diamond stud earrings, a difference of only a fraction of a millimetre in diameter can be noticeable when worn. We therefore compare both stones face up as well as measuring them.

In brief, our gemologists scrutinise your earrings, evaluating the 4Cs and brand prestige. We occasionally consult auction specialists for rare pieces like Art Deco diamond drop earrings. We are committed to precise valuations for every style of diamond earrings, based on current market value and auction prices.

3. Agree Loan Amount

As FCA-regulated experts, we offer transparent collateral loans on diamond earrings. Our competitive terms reflect current market values with no hidden fees. 

The loan amount depends on what your earrings could realistically achieve in the current secondary market, not simply on their combined diamond weight or original retail price – based on the valuation, you can generally expect a loan amount of 50% to 70% of the value.

For diamond studs, the strongest candidates are usually closely matched pairs of natural diamonds, ideally with separate laboratory reports showing similar carat weight, colour, clarity, cut quality and fluorescence.

We also consider:

– Whether both diamonds are natural, laboratory-grown or treated.
– Individual carat weight.
– How closely the stones match when viewed face up.
– The cut and spread of each diamond.
– The setting metal, condition of the claws, and whether the backs are original.
– Brand, signature, original box, receipt, and GIA reports.
– Whether the earrings are classic studs, cluster earrings, drops, hoops, chandeliers, or a signed design.
– The current demand for the specific diamond specifications and jewellery style.

FAQs

When seeking capital for your diamond earrings in London, pawning offers a flexible alternative to selling. At New Bond Street Pawnbrokers in London, Mayfair, we provide short-term loans against your diamond earrings, allowing you to reclaim them once you repay the loan. This option is ideal if you have a sentimental attachment to your jewellery or expect its value to appreciate.

Our pawnbrokers for diamond earring and diamond studs are available near you in Mayfair, Central London and will assess loans against premium fine jewellery from renowned brands such as Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Graff, Harry Winston, Tiffany, and Bulgari. Our expertise in diamond earrings and studs valuations, for collateral loans, ensures accurate valuations for these luxury pieces.

Our collateral loans cover a wide range of diamond earrings, including valuable studs, drop earrings, chandelier styles, and vintage pieces. Our high end pawn shop also consider unique collections and rare designs of earrings and studs, catering to diverse and refined tastes in the heart of London: Mayfair.

No, we encourage early repayment without penalties. This flexibility allows you to reclaim your diamond earrings before your contract ends if your financial situation improves. We believe we are one of the best pawn shops for diamond earrings and studs in London and the UK, and we hold 6 National Pawnbroking Association Awards to back it up.

Our standard loan term for diamond jewellery is between two and seven months, but we offer flexibility to suit your needs. You can discuss shorter or longer terms with our team in our New Bond Street location.

If you’re unable to repay the loan, we may sell your earrings to recover the borrowed amount. However, we’re open to alternative solutions to help avoid these scenarios.

If you consider pawning your diamond earrings “near me” at our pawnshop in Mayfair, Central London, bring any available documentation, such as certificates of authenticity, original receipts, or previous valuation reports. Our pawnbrokers also requires a valid ID and proof of address.

A £15,000 loan offer against a pair of Cartier diamond stud earrings to a client living in the West End. This demonstrates our pawnbrokers’ commitment to offering competitive rates on diamond jewelry at our pawn store in Central London.

Yes, loan renewals are possible. We’ll reassess the earrings’ value and market conditions to offer you updated terms.

We don’t accept found items. To pawn diamond earrings near you at our Mayfair London pawnshop, you must demonstrate legal ownership to ensure compliance with regulations.

They can, but only where the earrings are authentic, complete, in good condition and commercially desirable.

We may look for:

– A clear maker’s signature, serial number or identifiable hallmark.
– Original clips, posts, screw fittings, detachable drops and earring backs.
– Original box, receipt, certificate, service record or brand paperwork.
– Evidence that the pair has not been materially altered or converted.
– The specific collection or design, not simply the name of the maison.
– The quality and condition of the diamonds themselves.

Yes. The setting affects condition, wearability, repair cost, the ability to inspect the diamonds and the resale appeal of the earrings. For a pair of classic studs, most of the value may sit in the diamonds, but a poor or damaged setting can still reduce a loan offer.

We inspect:

– Whether the setting is platinum, 18ct gold, 14ct gold or another metal.
– Claw wear, looseness and whether the diamond sits securely.
– Damage to posts, clips, hinges, screw backs or butterfly fittings.
– Whether backs are original and matched to the earrings.
– The condition of halos, pavé-set diamonds, millegrain work or decorative mounts.
– Evidence of alteration, conversion from clips to posts, replaced fittings or later-added components.
– Whether any maker’s marks have been removed, obscured or affected by repair.
– A four-claw platinum stud setting is usually straightforward to value and resell if the claws are secure. A pair of antique diamond drop earrings may require closer scrutiny because the value can depend on original fittings, period construction, survival of matching drops and the absence of later alterations.

Possibly, but the appraisal becomes more cautious because condition defects can affect resale value and repair costs. We assess what is missing or damaged, whether original components remain, and whether a repair would preserve the pair’s integrity.

Examples include:

– Missing butterfly back: Usually a relatively minor issue if the post is original and undamaged, although replacement and matching costs are considered.
– Bent or shortened post: May be repairable, but can affect wearability and indicate previous stress to the setting.
– Worn claws: Can require retipping before the earrings are safe to store, wear or sell.
– Missing small pavé diamond: May reduce value beyond the replacement cost if the jewellery no longer appears complete or if matching an older-cut stone is difficult.
– Chipped centre diamond: Can materially reduce the loan offer, especially if the damage affects the girdle, table or visible face of the stone.
– One missing stud from a pair: Usually has a major impact. The two stones may still have value individually, but the matched-pair premium and the natural market for earrings are lost.

Yes. Separate reports for each principal diamond are particularly useful for earrings because they document whether the pair is genuinely matched in weight, colour, clarity and natural origin.

For high-value diamond studs, we ideally want to see a report for each stone. The report can help confirm:

– Carat weight and measurements.
– Shape and cutting style.
– Colour and clarity grades.
– Cut grade, polish and symmetry where applicable.
– Fluorescence.
– Natural or laboratory-grown origin.
– Treatment disclosures.
– Laser inscription, where present.

A report supports the appraisal but does not replace it. We physically inspect each stone to ensure it matches the document and to assess whether the diamonds remain undamaged, correctly set and commercially matched as a pair.

Once your loan is agreed, your diamond earrings and studs are held securely for the active loan term. They are not displayed, worn, lent or sold while your agreement remains active and you remain within its terms.

We store diamond jewellery with restricted authorised access, 24-hour surveillance and alarm systems, and careful handling procedures. For earrings, we keep both pieces, their backs, detachable drops, branded packaging and supporting papers together so that the pair remains complete throughout storage.

No credit check is required. The loan is secured against the earrings themselves rather than your credit score, income or borrowing history. Making an enquiry does not affect your credit rating.

Once you have paid the current settlement figure, your earrings can be released for collection.

Contact us before coming in so we can confirm the amount due, close the agreement and prepare the earrings, backs, certificates and any branded packaging for handover.

You may redeem at any point during the two-to-seven-month loan term. There is no separate early-redemption penalty, although interest due under the agreement must be paid.

For example, if you borrow £6,000 against diamond earrings for four months at 5% interest per month, the interest is £300 each month. Redeeming after two months would mean an illustrated repayment of £6,600. Once settled, the pair is returned to you.

If you need more time near the end of the term, contact us before the redemption date to discuss a renewal. Renewal is subject to agreement and normally requires accrued interest to be paid first.

Useful Guides

You can rest assured that you will receive a competitive deal on the market from one of the most awarded collateral lender in the UK. All our loans come with competitive rates of fixed 5% (Representative APR 60%), no hidden fees at all, no early release fees, and loan terms from two up to seven months. A representative example of repayment for a two-month loan of £2500 is £250, thus a total repayment of £2750 at a fixed 5% interest rate (60% per annum).
