You've got jewelry sitting in a drawer — a gold chain you never wear, a diamond ring from a chapter that's closed, a watch you inherited but will never put on. You want real cash for it, not a vague lowball from a "we buy gold" kiosk. Here's exactly how we appraise and buy your jewelry at DD Pawn Loans in Pompano Beach — with every appraisal tested on camera, free, while you watch.
1. What Jewelry We Buy
We buy every major category of fine jewelry, and each one gets appraised on its own merits — not lumped into one guess.
Gold jewelry
Chains, rings, bracelets, earrings, pendants — worn, broken, or brand new. Gold value comes down to weight and purity: 10K is 41.7% pure gold, 14K is 58.3%, and 18K is 75%. We pay up to 90% of melt value. Full details on our sell gold in Pompano Beach page (Fort Lauderdale sellers, start here).
Diamonds
Loose stones, engagement rings, tennis bracelets, studs. We evaluate carat, cut, color, and clarity in front of you and pay for the stone and the gold it's mounted in. See how we buy diamonds.
Luxury watches
Rolex, Cartier, Omega, Breitling and more — with or without box and papers. Authentication happens on camera. See how we buy luxury watches.
Silver
Sterling jewelry, flatware, and bullion. Sterling is 92.5% pure silver, and we price it by weight against the live market. See how we buy silver.
2. How the On-Camera Appraisal Works
This is what separates us from every other jewelry buyer in Broward County: we test it in front of you, free — and the camera is rolling the whole time.
Step 1: We test the metal
Your gold or silver is tested with professional equipment while you watch, so the purity we quote is the purity you have.
Step 2: We weigh it on a calibrated scale
You see the exact gram weight yourself. One troy ounce is 31.1 grams — so a 31.1-gram 18K chain contains about 0.75 troy ounces of pure gold. No mystery math.
Step 3: You get a cash offer against the live price
We calculate from the live spot price — not last month's. Want a ballpark before you drive over? Run your piece through our free gold estimator.
No appointment, no obligation. If you don't like the number, you walk out with your jewelry and a free appraisal.
3. Sell It — or Borrow Against It Instead
Here's the option most jewelry buyers won't tell you about: you don't have to sell. As a licensed pawnbroker, we can write you a collateral loan against that same jewelry — from $200 up to $100,000, with no credit check. You get cash today, we hold your piece securely, and it comes back to you when the loan is repaid. If the jewelry is sentimental — grandma's ring, your first Rolex — pawning lets you solve today's problem without losing it forever. Not sure which way to go? Ask us at the counter; we'll price both options side by side. See how the process works.

5. Jewelry Selling FAQs
Do I need an appointment to sell jewelry?
No — walk in any time we're open: Mon–Thu 10–6:30, Fri 9–8, Sat 10–6:30 (closed Sunday). Bring a valid government-issued photo ID; Florida law requires it for every transaction.
Do you buy broken or damaged jewelry?
Yes. Broken chains, single earrings, bent rings — gold is gold. We pay on weight and purity, so damage barely matters for melt-value pieces.
How do I know I'm getting a fair price?
Because you watch every step: the test, the scale reading, and the live-price calculation. Check our full FAQ or get an estimate first with the gold estimator.
