Is it better to pawn or sell jewelry?

It depends on your financial needs. Pawning allows you to keep ownership of your jewelry while securing a short-term loan. Selling is better if you need quick cash with no repayment obligations.

How much can I get for my jewelry?

Pawn shops and buyers assess jewelry based on brand, condition, materials, and market demand. Qollateral provides free appraisals to determine the highest value.

Do pawn loans affect my credit score?

No, pawn loans are asset-based and do not require credit checks. They have no impact on your credit score.

Can I sell my jewelry without papers or certificates?

Yes, but having documentation such as a GIA certificate or proof of authenticity can increase your offer.
