How to Shop for Jewelry in a Pawn Shop

Article Category: Shopping

Author Name: Sancus Treasures

Aside from a jewelry store, pawn shops are a good place to look for quality jewelry. Contrary to popular belief, a pawn shop ensures that the jewelry it sells is of good quality. Otherwise, how can a pawn broker make a profit? Years ago, pawn shops have been thrown into the Hollywood stereotype of being shady and unscrupulous establishments. But thanks to recent reality shows such as Pawn Queens, Pawn Stars, and Hardcore Pawn, the pawn industry was able to show customers what they really are.

Buying jewelry could be an expensive undertaking, unless your parents are millionaires and you were born with a million-dollar trust fund. Therefore, another option would be to purchase pre-owned jewelry at your local pawn shop. You would be surprised to know that pawn shops specializing in jewelry can carry a wide range of pieces ranging from simple engagement rings to family heirlooms and antiques.

Before you stand up, proceed to your local pawn shop, and start buying jewelry, here are a few tips on how to get the most out of your hard-earned money:

If possible choose pawn shops which have distinguished their business by buying and selling jewelry. Pawn brokers in these establishments are known to be more knowledgeable on jewelry. In addition, it is likely that they have a gemologist among their employees or as a consultant.

Choose pawn shops licensed by recognized authorities. It is better to stick to reputable pawn shops even with slightly higher prices since this ensures that the establishment adheres to state and local laws. Always deal with legitimate pawn brokers to eliminate the risk of buying stolen property.

Ask to have the gold weighed. When buying gold items, request the pawn broker to have the item weighed in your presence and to provide documentation which can vouch for its value and purity.

Inspect an item closely. Always be on the lookout for blemishes, signs of damage, or loose stones. Imperfections can bring the value of an item down.

Ask family members or friends for references. Usually, they know a pawn shop or two in the vicinity , or one that they have done business with before that they can recommend for doing honest and fair business.

Verify an item through an appraiser. Most pawn brokers will allow you to have an item checked by a third party appraiser. In which case, the appraiser can tag along with you on your next trip to the pawn shop. This could come in handy especially when negotiating for a vintage or antique piece.

Practice the art of haggling. You probably have done this before with other items and jewelry should not be an exception. Try to buy the best item within your budget. Most pawn brokers are flexible with their pricing and are more likely to negotiate.

Check the return policy. A reputable pawn shop has a good return policy. An example would be a 30-day refund policy in case the items did not live up to what the pawn broker made you expect about your purchase
