Examination of jewellery purchased from pawnshops

Pawnshop jewellery examination verifies the identity and value of purchased or pledged items. We examine the metal, diamonds and gemstones and provide an informed assessment to support negotiation. Performed by an HRD Antwerp accredited gemmologist.

Pawnshop jewellery is often offered at substantially lower prices than in traditional shops. Without examination, however, its identity and quality may be uncertain. We help you buy or pledge with confidence.

Why examine an item before buying

  • Identity: checking whether the stones and metal match the description;
  • Value: understanding what the item is worth to negotiate fairly;
  • Condition and treatments: identifying repairs, replacements and treatments.

Always check certificates, identity and condition before buying jewellery from a pawnshop.
