When it comes to selling jewelry, you'll always get a better price at St. Louis Gold Buyers and Jewelry Center compared to a pawnshop. See, jewelry stores like ourselves specialize in fine jewelry - it's our bread and butter. We have expert appraisers on staff who can accurately value your pieces based on the materials, craftsmanship, brand name, and current market trends. Pawnshops, on the other hand, deal in all sorts of secondhand goods, from electronics to musical instruments. While they'll certainly buy jewelry, they usually offer much lower prices since jewelry isn't their primary focus. Pawnshops are more about giving quick loans and turning a fast profit on a variety of items.


So if you have jewelry you're looking to sell, a reputable jeweler is best. St. Louis Gold Buyers and Jewelry Center will give you a fair assessment and fair offer. For the best return please visit us at St. Louis Gold Buyers and Jewelry Center, We are here for you!!!
