Pawning jewelry is simple: bring in your piece, we appraise it, and you get cash or a collateral loan against it. But a little preparation at home can meaningfully raise your offer. Here's how to do it like a pro.
Tip 1: Clean Your Jewelry
It sounds obvious, but few people do it — and it matters. A clean piece presents better and appraises higher. Use a proper jewelry cleaner and pay special attention to diamonds and other stones.
Tip 2: Make Sure It's Intact
Watches, necklaces, and bracelets often have extra links for sizing. If yours does, bring them along — a complete piece is worth more than an incomplete one.
Tip 3: Bring Any Appraisal or Receipt
A bill or appraisal listing the metal and stones helps the pawnbroker value your piece accurately. Note that an appraisal's stated value is a retail figure — a loan is based on resale value, so it won't match that number, but the documentation still helps.
The Bottom Line
The easier you make it for us to inspect your piece, the more you may get — and the more trust you build. Bring your jewelry and a photo ID, see our sell gold page, or call (561) 774-9292.
