Diamonds are more than a girl’s best friend

For many, diamonds are a popular first choice when it comes to owning a piece of luxury jewelry. We can’t blame you. They are beautiful, versatile and very desirable. And if you are looking for ways to get some cash quickly, pawning or selling your diamonds is one of the best ways to quickly raise funds. But what happens when you put your diamond as collateral for a pawn loan or when you sell it outright?

There are many factors that influence the value of your diamonds. In order for you to have an idea about its value, you need to determine its size, color, cut and clarity. On top of that, you need to find a reliable and trustworthy buyer for it. 

With this in mind, have you considered pawning your diamonds to get fast cash? Read on to find out how you can get a fair valuation and money quickly & easily. 

First of all, the great thing about pawning your diamonds is that you will not lose ownership over them, as long as you will submit your payments on the due date. Within the loan period, you are simply handing over the custody of your valuable item on a temporary basis. If you are in a financial bind and you need money as soon as possible, pawning your diamonds will serve as a short term solution. This will eliminate the need to sell your valuable items in exchange for cash.

Diamonds are one of the best things you can pawn or sell in a pawnshop as they can fetch a premium price. However, you should set realistic expectations when you take your diamond item into a pawnshop. It is more likely that you will get a lower price than what you bought the item for. There are only particular situations where you can get the same or higher price for your diamonds. If you have a diamond ring, the price may well be close too, or as much as, what you originally bought it for. Which is why diamond rings are considered one of the best items to pawn when you are in need of fast cash. 

Why are Diamonds so sought after?

There are many reasons why Diamonds are a sought-after item in most pawn shops;

• Diamonds rarely depreciate. The value of diamonds rarely devalues in price. Unlike the majority of the consumer goods in the market, diamonds are considered good investment  because their prices don't fluctuate. For instance, luxury cars may fetch a high price when purchased but lose value when it is driven off the lot and being re-sold will see its value dramatically depreciate. Diamonds will stay at roughly the same value, except when there are unforeseen situations such as economic recessions. Due to the fact that it rarely depreciates, diamonds are considered worthwhile investments for pawn shops as they can hold on to it and re-sell it whenever they want. Even as second-hand items, diamonds can still command a decent offer.
• Diamonds do not deteriorate. Diamonds are very tough and they don’t degrade. That’s the beauty of it. This is why they rarely devalue in price. Unlike other items with perceived value such as electronics, they can be kept for long periods of time without decomposing or becoming outdated. Pawnshops love diamonds as they don’t need to be sold off immediately before they will lose their value. 
• Diamonds can produce a quick outturn. Diamonds are very easy to sell. Which is why pawn shops offer them at great prices. Investment-savvy individuals often approach pawn shops when buying diamond rings because they can buy at reasonable rates. This contributes to the high turnover of items, which is the goal of pawn shops that buy anything with value. 

 

What do we look for in the diamonds for sale?

When you bring your diamonds to us, we will assess the weight, clarity of SI (which determines the quality of your diamond), color grading (by looking at the pigmentation) and colorlessness. If your diamonds are attached to a jewelry, we will also determine the condition of the metal and give you a thorough appraisal of your valuable item. If you own diamonds with at least half a carat in weight, with an SI clarity and color grading within the near colorless or colorless category, we pay top dollar. 

As we mentioned earlier, the price of diamonds depends on a lot of factors; its color, cut, clarity and carat will be evaluated upon appraisal. After giving your diamonds a thorough inspection, they will give you an offer based on the quality of your valuable item. Keep in mind that you won’t get the full price of your diamonds as pawn shops need to make a profit too.

Before taking your diamonds to a pawn shop, make sure that you:

• Know it’s real value. It’s always better to have an idea on what you are about to pawn or sell. You can take your diamonds to an independent appraiser before selling it to a pawn shop so you will know what prices will be offered to you. 
• Set a realistic expectation. Almost always, you won’t get the full price of your diamonds when you bought them. If you are willing to part with your diamonds, make sure you are emotionally ready so you won’t have a hard time selling them.
• Explore your options. Find a reliable pawn shop that you can deal with. After all, it’s not always about the price but the overall pawn shop experience.
