Buying new jewelry from a retail store is kind of like buying a brand new car from a dealership because almost all of the markup value you pay disappears the second you leave the premises. Specialty boutique pawn shops like Coins & Stuff in High Point, NC, are where savvy jewelry shoppers buy stunning pieces that can be worn and loved for generations.

If you’re not totally sold on the idea of pawn jewelry, check out these four reasons you should give it a try:

• Jewelry Stays Beautiful Forever: A cotton T-shirt that’s five years old might start to get holes, stretch out, or become discolored, but a high-quality piece of jewelry looks beautiful for generations. In fact, most people can’t visually discern the difference between a new piece of jewelry and a resale piece of pawn jewelry unless the design is obviously vintage.
• You Can Get More Bling For Your Buck: Your dollar simply goes farther at a pawn shop than at a retail jewelry store because so much of the cost of new jewelry is markup. You can afford to get a much higher quality piece of jewelry (and typically larger carat stones) by simply choosing the pawn jewelry resale route.
• The Resale Value Of Jewelry Is Not Stable: People talk about jewelry as “investments,” but that’s all marketing. The appraisal price of a piece of jewelry is only for insurance purposes and has nothing to do with the potential sale price. For a frame of reference, it would not be unusual for a new engagement ring that’s appraised at $4,000 to only fetch $1,400 on the resale market (even if was purchased less than a year ago), which is why pawn jewelry is such a great deal. 
• There Are Lots Of Styles To Choose From: Some people don’t want to go the pawn jewelry route because they prefer modern designs, but just because something is at a pawn shop doesn’t mean that it’s old! Coins & Stuff’s collection of jewelry includes many modern pieces that have hardly been worn and that look brand new.

Outsmart the system and indulge in gorgeous high-end jewelry at just a fraction of the price the original buyer paid.
