How Can I Sell an Engagement Ring in San Diego?
SanDiegoJewelryBuyers.com has updated its Knowledge section for sellers of fine jewelry, gold, diamonds, and watches with advice on how to sell an engagement ring. “It is always a difficult and emotional situation when someone is thinking about selling an engagement ring or bridal jewelry,” says Alan Blyler, a spokesperson for San Diego Jewelry Buyers, “so we wanted to lay down some practical and personal things to think about before making a decision on a diamond buyer.”
On the personal side, San Diego Jewelry Buyers recommends that women who are in the process of getting a divorce should wait until the papers are signed before they sell diamond engagement rings and other bridal related jewelry. Feelings among married couples often change at the last minute, and the prospect of losing an engagement ring and wedding band forever should the couple reconcile is something to remember. Customers in need of money immediately are advised to sell less sentimental diamond jewelry, or use it as collateral for a loan.
On the practical side, San Diego Jewelry Buyers informs potential sellers of diamond engagement rings that bridal jewelry which was appraised in the past for insurance purposes was valued at the estimated retail price. This price is much higher than what a customer can expect from a San Diego diamond buyer. Consumers who decide to get their engagement ring appraised before they resell it are advised to tell the appraiser that they would like a resell price estimate.

1 Month Free Loan from San Diego Pawn Shop
Please note that the offer for a 1 month free pawn shop loan talked about in this press release has now expired.
San Diego Jewelry Buyers (SDJB) has announced a new 1 month free cash loan service for customers looking to sell their second-hand fine jewelry and watches. The offer covers all kinds of high value items, from gold, platinum, and diamond jewelry to chronograph watches from brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet.
“San Diego Jewelry Buyers has long prided itself in offering excellent prices for those who want to sell or pawn estate jewelry, diamond jewelry, and high brand watches,” says senior buyer Pete Harvey. “And this new cash loan offer backs up that claim.” Second-hand fine jewelry sellers can now go to SDJB and if they are not satisfied with the initial cash offer, SDJB will provide a free 1 month cash loan. During that month SDJB will search their global network of fine jewelry and watch collectors to match a buyer with the customer’s asking price.
The confidentiality of every loan client is guaranteed. No credit check is required for SDJB’s free service. The customer simply leaves the jewelry or watch item as collateral. If SDJB cannot find a buyer for the asking price, the customer then has three choices: 1) Accept the company’s original asking price; 2) Extend the loan for up to 3 more months; or 3) Take the item back, no questions asked. When extending the loan beyond the first month, interest rates do apply. According to Mr. Harvey, a customer with an item which qualifies them for a cash loan of $10,000 could expect to pay $400-500 in interest over 30 days.
“It is rare for jewelry buyers or pawn shops to make this kind of offer,” says Mr. Harvey. “But because we have been in the watch, jewelry, and diamond buying business for thirty years, we’ve been able to build a strong base of financial and human resources, including an extensive network of buyers in the U.S., Europe, and Asia-all of whom are capable of paying top dollar for our client’s items.”
San Diego Jewelry Buyers is located at the NE Corner of 6th Avenue and E Street in the Gaslamp Quarter of downtown San Diego. They are open Monday thru Friday 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. For more information please call (619) 236-9603. Visit the company online at www.sandiegojewelrybuyers.com.

San Diego’s #1 Gold Buyer Discusses News Report
San Diego Jewelry Buyers (SDJB) has announced that the findings of an investigative news program on gold buyers were not unusual, and have provided an explanation for why investigators received the best price for a gold ring from a local pawn shop.
The investigation, conducted by San Diego’s 10News I-Team, involved four identical 10 karat gold rings which retailed at $58 a piece. The news team then sold the rings to GoldKit.com, Cash4Gold.com, GetGoldCash.com, and a local San Diego pawn shop.
According to the I-Team, GoldKit.com paid them $2.80 for the 10K gold ring; Cash4Gold.com paid $7.92; and GetGoldCash.com $7.63. But the San Diego pawn shop paid $18.50; more than double the highest pay out from the bigger, more publicized, gold buyers.
“The reason for this is simple,” says Alan Blyler, spokesperson for San Diego Jewelry Buyers. “National gold buyers spend enormous amounts of money marketing their services. Take for example GetGoldCash.com. They use former Olympic gold medal winner Mark Spitz as a paid celebrity sponsor. All of that advertising cost reduces the money you get back when you sell gold; be it scrap gold, dental gold, or gold jewelry.”
According to Blyler, local San Diego pawn shops and jewelry buyers frequently offer much better pay outs to consumers because they don’t have large advertising budgets. “Here at San Diego Jewelry Buyers, we have a small ad budget and rely primarily on word-of-mouth and our website to inform consumers that they are likely to receive better prices on gold, diamonds, and watches from the local businesses in their neighborhood.”
