Pawn Your Jewellery in London

Pawning your jewellery may seem daunting, but it needn't be. A reputable pawnbroker will offer you a loan appraisal on your jewellery, without any pressure to proceed. You will be provided with a Pre-contract Credit Information form to look at, which will outline timescales and interest rates. You have a 14-day cooling-off period; giving you the option to just pay the interest for the period of the credit and cancel the contract if you decide you no longer want to proceed. This is why pawning jewellery is the perfect solution, when a quick injection of cash is required for an important event, or new venture or investment. Jewellery has always been a safe investment and loans option; precious metals and gemstones continue to increase in worth, year on year and repeatedly outperform the stock markets. There are fluctuations in the value of antique and collector's items which, as with any investible item, depends on supply and demand. What is considered collectable can alter over time. This is where jewellery stands on its own, the base loan value of gemstones and precious metals is consistently increasing. Maybe you are thinking it is now an optimum time to sell your jewellery and to benefit financially from an increase in value. Alternatively, you could consider using your jewellery as collateral to fund a new venture or purchase. One option is to pawn jewellery for a loan. You may be tempted to consider simply running a search online for 'the nearest pawnbrokers for jewellery near me'.

To know how much your jewellery can be pawned for in London, take some time to find the most appropriate broker. When you are considering where to pawn real jewellery in London, it is advisable to find a pawnbroker with knowledge of fine jewellery loans and a resident gemological specialist. Jewellery, as with any high-end item, ranges in loan value and appeal and has a limited market. Knowing how much you can pawn your jewellery for may be difficult to determine and appraisals can greatly vary. Finding a broker that has experience pawning fine jewellery and brands such as Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels is an important factor when seeking an appraisal. A pawnbroker with expert loans knowledge will be able to give an appraisal that is not only based on the worth of the stones and precious metal but also the desirability and collectability of the jewellery piece, as reflected at London and renowned worldwide auctions. Your next query may be 'Why should I not look for the best place to pawn jewellery near me?' Pawn jewellery value is subjective and pawnshop loan rates for jewellery will be impacted by poor location and available customers. Pawnshop value for jewellery is often reliant on the comparative loan jewellery prices in other shops. This could mean you will get offered significantly less than the true value. Appraisals may also be dependent on the known clientele and the amount that they are willing to spend. The annual interest rate and the APR available for pawning your jewellery will differ dependent on the pawnshop and how much they consider the loan to be a risk. London pawnbrokers for jewellery will accept items that can be used as collateral, based on their pawn worth. Deciding to use your jewellery as loan collateral may be a huge decision, in particular for pieces that are sentimental and irreplaceable. This is where pawning jewellery for a loan takes away the pressure of knowing you will have lost your precious pieces forever if they are sold. New Bond Street Pawnbrokers' London jewellery pawn experts and gemological specialist advisors are all GIA trained and able to provide unprejudiced, precise loan appraisals based on the current market sale value of your diamond jewellery.

Loans at our London pawn shop can be offered for many styles of fine jewellery featuring diamonds, including earrings, necklaces, rings, and broaches. Small variants can make a significant difference to the value and require expert perception to detect. Diamonds in antique and collector's jewellery also requires an understanding of the desirability of the overall piece and how often similar pieces come up at auction houses. As with everything, the less availability there is of a certain brand or era of jewellery, the higher it is likely to fetch when pawning or selling it. Precious metals and gemstones in fine jewellery will also determine its loan value as outlined below. Platinum is one of the rarer elements and only comes in one recognised chemical composition, making it the most valuable of all precious metals. Gold is determined in value by the amount of gold in the actual metal, which can range from a low 9ct to as high as 24ct. The higher the carat, the more the gold jewellery is worth for pawning purpuses. Types of precious stones in fine jewellery Diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds are considered the 4 most desirable of precious stones, hence valuable loans can be achieved against it. High-quality gemstones will always increase the loan value of any piece of jewellery and rare stones are also sought after. When you have a piece that you want to have valued for pawning, you can simply fill in our online enquiry form to obtain a loan valuation, before deciding to bring it into the shop in Mayfair, London for an actual appraisal.

Your jewellery is securely stored at New Bond Street Pawnbrokers and you continue to be the rightful owner, right up until the point the pawn contract expires. Obtaining a loan from New Bond Street Pawnbrokers offers a confidential way to use your jewellery as collateral. Additionally, you no longer have the dilemma and negative associations attached to selling something of great, sentimental value. Jewellery retail value and the amount that will be offered by a pawnshop that needs to resell the item as quickly as possible is typically far less than the actual worth of the jewellery. Differences that may impact the value will often not be taken into account, as the buyer is selling to a much wider market and may not be willing to greatly differentiate the value of one item of jewellery, over the other pieces already on sale. Certain items may be easier to sell, such as jewellery containing diamonds, necklaces, and bracelets, as they do not need to be a specific size to be wearable. However, their true value, in particular when it comes to rarity, may not be realised when you choose to sell your jewellery as the value may be determined by the precious metal or gemstones the piece contains. This often results in a much lower appraisal than would be given, when using the jewellery as collateral for a loan at a reputable pawnbroker. This is why wealthy and discernable clients choose to pawn their jewellery at New Bond Street Pawnbrokers' award-winning London shop. We are proud that many of our customers have found out about us through friends and associates, that are confident they can trust our loan valuations to be fair and release the funds against their jewellery quickly and with absolute discretion.

Loans on diamond jewellery can vary greatly, dependent on the knowledge of the person undertaking the appraisal. Only a gemologist is able to accurately assess gemstones, such as loose diamonds where small variations can greatly impact value. The GIA created the first globally accepted standard of diamond appraisal, which is still used today and is based on the 4 Cs: colour, clarity, cut and carat weight. Amongst gemstones, diamonds are renowned for being highly desirable and continue to be classed as one of the highest value, rarest gemstones. Bought to display eternal love, Hollywood starlet Marilyn Monroe made diamonds even more coveted by women around the world when she sang in the film, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, 'Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend'. Quality diamonds and jewellery always achieve high loan prices and having an expert who understands how to assess the 4 Cs - colour, clarity, carat and cut - is essential to release the full pawn worth of your diamonds when you want to use them as collateral. A small difference in colour or clarity can greatly affect the value and can be difficult to establish. Fine diamonds may be accompanied by a laboratory report and certificates from the GIA – Gemological Institute of America; HRD – Diamond High Council; and Gem Lab – Gubelin are helpful; however, you can rest assured that our resident London gemologists can also accurately assess loans on diamonds and jewellery without a certificate. Investing in diamonds and other rare gemstones, is considered to be a reliable way to make money and the biggest London pawn shops know how good investment in fine jewellery can be. Diamonds are considered the rarest gemstones and natural diamonds take millions of years to form. Diamonds in Jewellery come in a rainbow of colours, with certain colours being rarer and therefore of higher loan value when pawning it. New Bond Street Pawnbrokers will offer loans on jewellery and loose diamonds that are 2 carats or over, coloured diamonds and GIA certified diamonds and will advise accordingly on the pawn value of these assets. With provenance (the country the gemstones can be traced back to) also a signifier of pawn value, New Bond Street Pawnbrokers' jewellery inspections will ensure every aspect of your diamond jewellery is correctly analysed for a loan when visiting our London store. With over 25 years of experience appraising modern, antique and collector's items of jewellery, you will be given a fair appraisal based on the true loan value the jewellery you will pawn at our Central London pawn shop. With so many areas of interest in London, finding a pawnbroker or your jewellery can seem like a daunting prospect. When considering various factors, choosing a shop that is central to many of London's most well-known attractions narrows down the options. Two of the most popular shopping areas are Oxford Street and Piccadilly Circus. Oxford Street is accessible from Tottenham Court Road station and Marble Arch station. Over 1.5-miles-long with over 300 retailers, one very popular attraction worth a visit is world-renowned Selfridges with its neoclassical columns and dramatic main entrance. A mixture of contemporary restaurants and shops brings forth a younger and varied clientele. The Scoff & Banter Tea Rooms cater to the ever-popular treat, a quintessential British time-honoured tradition of afternoon tea, attracting regular customers. Additionally, a multitude of restaurants provide varied cuisine, from modern European dishes created by the team at Roux at The Landau restaurant, where you can also enjoy Private Dining; to Lebanese food served in a cosy, family atmosphere at the Aline Lebanese Kitchen. Another tourist attraction that Oxford St is famous for, the famous Marble Arch is located close to Hyde Park and the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain. Nearby Piccadilly Circus connects numerous historic London streets and is home to a multitude of shops, attractions and theatres, including the Criterion theatre and the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain. Shoppers also come to visit the world-famous Lilywhites department store. Hatton Garden is also known as London's Diamond Jewellery District for loans and buying. Accessible from both Farringdon and Chancery Lane underground stations, Hatton Garden is filled with over 55 jewellery retailers and pawn shops. The area is also infamous for being the home of the headquarters to the renowned diamond retailer De Beers. Intermingled are small independent coffee shops and plentiful unique food stalls. Another historical building of interest is St Etheldreda's Church in Ely Place which is open to the public and still holds Roman Catholic Mass twice every Sunday. The heart of London's jewellery quarter and the UK's recognised centre of the diamond jewellery loans trade, Hatton Garden has become a worldwide attraction for pawn shops, jewellers, gemologists and individual diamond buyers.

Selling jewellery at a pawn shop is relatively easy; however, due to the need for a pawnbroker to make a profit, the full value of the jewellery will never be realised. On average it is reported you will get around 40% to 60% of the value of a piece, as the broker has to resell it for a profit. For occasions when you need quick access to money, especially for jewellery that has been purchased as an investment for future generations; using your jewellery as collateral for a loan, provides a discreet and simple way to access money and still retain ownership of your valued jewellery.

Pawnshops regularly buy jewellery for approximately 40-60% of its value. This is the highest that they can normally offer, to be able to make a profit when they resell the items. All fine jewellery can be sold, with the criteria normally being that the jewellery is made from platinum or gold. Diamond and precious gemstone set earrings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches, rings and trinkets of all kinds are also readily bought by pawnshops. Obtaining the most from your jewellery in the form of cash is unlikely if you want to sell it. This applies, in particular, with fine brands such as Graff, Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari, Harry Winston, Tiffany and Cartier, to name just a few. An appreciation and understanding of specific pieces and current market value mean similar pieces may be worth significantly different amounts. Without expert knowledge of these brands, you may find yourself selling your piece for far less than its actual value. The alternative option is to pawn your jewellery for a loan. It is advisable to bring in any supporting documentation you may have, though this alone will not always guarantee a fair or accurate appraisal. With values and recent sale prices in auctions regularly evaluated, you can be reassured our knowledgeable team appreciates the changing values of fine brands and will competently determine the correct age and value of your piece.

Any gold, platinum or diamond jewellery, regardless of its condition, can be sold for the weight of its precious metal and gemstones. Naturally, jewellery that is broken will normally be worth less and any otherwise enhanced value that may be associated with high-end brands greatly depreciated. To find out the worth of gold or platinum broken jewellery, you can research the price per gram and weigh it. However, valuing diamonds and precious stones requires an expert gemmologist, to be sure of a fair valuation. That broken diamond earring may just contain a rare and highly priced diamond that could be worth more than you realise. To discover the value of your broken jewellery you can bring it into New Bond Street Pawnbrokers, knowing that our gemologists are capable of identifying valuable stones, regardless of the setting.
