How to Get the Best Price on Designer Jewelry at a Pawn Shop
If you’re shopping for David Yurman custom jewelry, or jewelry from other exclusive designers including Bulgari, Cartier, Chopard, Harry Winston, Rolex, or Tiffany & Co., follow these four tips to negotiate the best price.
1. Know the Item’s Worth
Before you go to a pawn shop for designer jewelry, it is wise to know how much the jewelry costs in retail stores. Pawn shops often discount jewelry by as much as 30%, so knowing what the current retail price is, can help you know what to expect. You should also try to determine if an item you’re looking for is a limited-edition piece. Exclusive, rare pieces will be worth more than pieces that were produced on a large scale.
2. Know the Current Values of Precious Metals
The price of gold and silver fluctuates daily, much like the stock market. The sales price is often linked to the current price of precious metals. Before you shop for gold or silver jewelry, it is helpful to know the current prices.
3. Make an Educated Offer
Designer jewelry is expensive. It is less expensive at a pawn shop, but you still can’t lowball an offer and expect to leave the shop with a premium piece of jewelry for next-to-nothing. You can start by offering 75-80% of the list price and begin negotiating from there. Keep in mind that luxury jewelry is always in demand, so most pawn shops won’t be in a hurry to sell for less than they know they can get for it. Be respectful, but don’t be afraid to offer a bit less than the list price.
4. Pay in Cash
If you’re negotiating for a great price on designer jewelry, make sure the pawnbroker knows that you intend to pay in cash. Cash payments help small, independently owned and operated businesses to avoid the hefty fees credit card companies charge them. To get the best deal on designer jewelry always make sure you have cash or can run to the bank to get the cash, once you agree on a price.
Why Buy Designer Jewelry?
Designer jewelry can be a smart investment, particularly during uncertain economic times. Designer jewelry tends to hold its value, compared to other jewelry by lesser-known makers. In fact, David Yurman is ranked by some experts as one of only five luxury jewelry designers (and the only contemporary designer) that make pieces that are especially good jewelry investments. Furthermore, it’s important to remember that certain pieces are limited edition, so they often become even more valuable over time.
Of course, designer jewelry also makes a huge statement. You’re not likely to show up to an event and find that three of your friends are also wearing the same piece. The exclusivity of designer jewelry makes it incredibly attractive to shoppers with discerning taste. Plus, those who follow high fashion and style will instantly recognize a piece you’re wearing as a silent status symbol.
If you’re buying high-end, designer jewelry as a gift, you can rest assured that the recipient will know just how much they mean to you. Receiving a limited-edition ring or bracelet from one of the world’s most celebrated jewelry designers is certain to wow your loved one.
Finally consider that premium designers don’t skimp on materials. On the contrary, top jewelry designers choose the best materials available. So the pieces you buy will be durable and maintain their eye-catching appearance for a lifetime in many cases.
