Learn How to Sell Diamond Jewelry in San Diego http://sandiegojewelrypawnshops.com/blog/2012/04/13/learn-how-to-sell-diamond-jewelry-in-san-diego/ http://sandiegojewelrypawnshops.com/blog/2012/04/13/learn-how-to-sell-diamond-jewelry-in-san-diego/#comments Fri, 13 Apr 2012 17:04:14 +0000 Administrator http://sandiegojewelrypawnshops.com/blog/?p=729 sell-diamonds-san-diego-buyers Learn How to Sell Diamond Jewelry in San DiegoThe diamond buyers at San Diego Jewelry Buyers (SDJB) have recently published an excellent question and answer guide on how to sell diamond jewelry. If you have been wondering how to sell diamond jewelry or loose diamonds for immediate cash then this article is certainly a must read.

Selling diamond jewelry for a best cash payment is trickier than selling gold, so you want to be as informed as possible when selling diamond rings, necklaces, bracelets, or other fine diamond jewelry. You want to feel confident and and select a San Diego diamond buyer with a strong reputation.

Here is a brief excerpt from SDJB’s article on how to sell diamond jewelry:

When selling diamond jewelry in San Diego, you have two options. You can sell your diamond to a business that purchases pre-owned diamonds (e.g. a jewelry buyer or pawn shop) or you can sell your diamond jewelry direct to the public. The benefit of selling direct to the public via an online auction site or classified ad is that you can often (but not always) get more cash for your item. The benefit of selling used diamonds to a widely recognized diamond buyer like SDJB is that it is more secure, easier, and faster.

When choosing a diamond buyer, the most important thing is trust. Look up the diamond buyer’s rating with the Better Business Bureau. Check out reliable reviews at online review sites like Yelp…

The Bulgari Story for San Diego Jewelry Buyers http://sandiegojewelrypawnshops.com/blog/2012/01/30/bulgari-story-for-san-diego-jewelry-buyers/ http://sandiegojewelrypawnshops.com/blog/2012/01/30/bulgari-story-for-san-diego-jewelry-buyers/#comments Mon, 30 Jan 2012 08:22:15 +0000 Administrator http://sandiegojewelrypawnshops.com/blog/?p=710 Sell-Jewelry-San-Diego The Bulgari Story for San Diego Jewelry BuyersAt San Diego Jewelry Buyers we often get asked about the history of great jewelers and luxury brands. Everyone likes to know a little bit about the history of a brand, as that makes the piece all the more special. Many San Diegans love the Bulgari brand, so here is the Bulgari story.

Bulgari is an Italian jeweler and luxury goods brand which was founded in 1884 by the Greek jeweler Sotirios Voulgaris. The brand’s trademark is usually written “BVLGARI” in the classical Latin alphabet (where V = English U), and is derived from the Voulgaris surname.

The Bulgary flagship store in via dei Condotti was opened in 1905 by Bulgari with the help of his two sons, Costantino and Giorgio. The store quickly became a place where the world’s rich and famous came for the unique, high quality jewelry designs combining Greek and Roman art.

Bulgari jewelry design is distinctive and often imitated (and counterfeited). In the 1970s, many of the more expensive Bulgari pieces (such as necklaces, bracelets and earrings) were characterized by instantly recognizable, bold, architectural designs combining large and weighty gold links with interlocking steel. Bulgari is also famous for colored stones, especially sapphires mixed in unique formats. Genuine Bulgari watches have a unique serial number that is registered with the company.

Under the stewardship of Sotirio’s grandsons Paolo and Nicola Bulgari, and nephew Francesco Trapani, the Bulgari brand began to diversify, introducing a perfume line and establishing itself as a luxury goods brand recognized throughout the world. Since October 2011, Bulgari has been owned by the French firm LVMH.

A New Era is Emerging for San Diego Pawn Shops & Pawnbrokers http://sandiegojewelrypawnshops.com/blog/2012/01/19/a-new-era-is-emerging-for-san-diego-pawn-shops/ http://sandiegojewelrypawnshops.com/blog/2012/01/19/a-new-era-is-emerging-for-san-diego-pawn-shops/#comments Thu, 19 Jan 2012 05:23:21 +0000 Administrator http://sandiegojewelrypawnshops.com/blog/?p=693 PawnbrokersFox News recently aired a special report on the increased business occurring at America’s pawn shops. According to Fox News, pawn shops have shed their negative image and are attracting new customers from all walks of life. Carl Blackburn, owner of San Diego Jewelry Buyers, has confirmed that pawn shops are indeed seeing a surge in business, as customers come to realize that most pawn shops are not the seedy establishments that are often depicted in Hollywood films but businesses that often more closely resemble a fine jewelry store or upscale consignment boutique.

“Reality television shows like ‘Pawn Stars’ have certainly done a lot to improve the image of pawn shops in the public’s mind,” says Blackburn. “With the economy continuing to struggle, many people also want to sell gold, sell jewelry, and sell diamonds for extra cash. Thanks to investigative news reports, sellers now know that their local pawn shops usually pay more than big, nationally advertised, gold buyers and jewelry buyers.”

The Fox News report states that a common transaction at pawn shops during the holiday season is a customer temporarily pawning fine jewelry for extra cash to purchase presents. The customer then retrieves their jewelry and pays off the collateral loan a few months later when their tax refund arrives.

“We have seen this kind of holiday loan arrangement a lot the past couple years,” says Blackburn. “Our customers understand that a pawn shop loan can often be less than what they would pay for a cash advance on their credit card. In addition, they can take out a pawn shop loan without having to worry about a credit check or putting their credit rating at risk. San Diego pawn shops don’t report transactions to any credit agency.”

Blackburn also adds that more people are visiting pawn shops today because the price of gold, silver, and diamonds is still high. Therefore, customers can sell jewelry, sell coins, and sell bullion for more than they could have in previous years. In addition, more and more luxury shoppers are purchasing pre-owned luxury items like Rolex watches, instead of buying them brand new.

SDJB Wins Registered Trademark http://sandiegojewelrypawnshops.com/blog/2012/01/18/sdjb-wins-registered-trademark/ http://sandiegojewelrypawnshops.com/blog/2012/01/18/sdjb-wins-registered-trademark/#comments Wed, 18 Jan 2012 10:05:42 +0000 Administrator http://sandiegojewelrypawnshops.com/blog/?p=699 SDJB_2012Blog SDJB Wins Registered TrademarkSan Diego Jewelry Buyers (SDJB) has announced that it has been awarded a registered trademark from the United States government. Having been issued the trademark, SDJB will be better able to eliminate confusion in the marketplace. “Online advertising can often make it confusing for people who are looking to sell jewelry, sell gold, or sell other luxury assets,” says Blackburn. “We’ve had many customers who mistakenly have been directed to other San Diego jewelry buyers, when they thought they were contacting us.”

That San Diego Jewelry Buyers was awarded a registered trademark is a testament to its position as a leading jewelry buyer not only in Southern California but nationwide. “We weren’t sure that we would receive the registered trademark, since it’s difficult to get one when your company name includes a city name and a descriptive phrase like ‘jewelry buyers’. It is much easier if you are using a personal name or made-up name like Google,” says Blackburn.

San Diego Jewelry Buyers success in acquiring its registered trademark is likely attributed to the fact that it is an A+ BBB company and among the only jewelry buyers in the country that receives regular media coverage in publications like the San Diego Union Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle, Miami Herald, New York Daily News, and CBS Money Watch. Its website SanDiegoJewelryBuyers.com is also one of the highest ranked jewelry buyer sites in the world.

In addition to SDJB’s positive and well-known position among national jewelry buyers, its owner Carl Blackburn has been a leader in promoting ethical jewelry and gold buying practices, alerting consumers to the dangers of rogue gold buyers. He also has been instrumental in helping elevate the image of California pawnbrokers. San Diego Jewelry Buyers is among the country’s most prominent luxury pawn shops, frequently purchasing and providing collateral loans on jewelry, prestige timepieces, and other portable gift assets valued into the six figures.

San Diego Jewelry Buyers is located in the city’s famous Gaslamp Quarter within the historic Beaumanor Building. Free, no obligation, appraisals of fine jewelry, diamonds, and other assets are offered Monday through Saturday. To arrange an appointment, please call them at: (619) 236-9603. Out-of-state customers can call toll free: 800-557-9413.
