Pawn your diamonds for a short-term loan

Diamonds are one of the most sought-after gemstones and are often the most prizes personal asset. The size and scale of demand of the global diamond market is vast; estimated to be in excess of $90billion, bigger than the economies of many European countries. Valuing and pawning diamonds, espcially high-value diamonds require specialist expertise.

Valuing your diamond

For an accurate valuation we'll first need information regarding the 'Four C’s':

  • Cut: Round brilliant, princess or emerald cut? Is your diamond cut to ideal proportions and do you have certificates?
  • Colour: Do you have that rare colourless diamond or the intense blue of Hope Diamond?
  • Clarity: Are your diamonds flawless or are they slightly included but eye-clean?
  • Carat: How big is your diamond?
Certification.

We also look for certificates from institutes such as the GIA and AnchorCert. If these aren't available, our specialists can grade your diamond. We use Rappaport information combined with auction house knowledge. This helps us provide the maximum loan amount.

Diamond set in jewellery? No problem. If we can, we'll grade it in its mount. However, to properly grade larger diamonds we have these un-mounted by the industry's finest jewellers.
