Jewelry & Watches

We provide quick and easy cash loans to customers looking for short-term funding. By bringing in your previously owned fine jewelry or luxury watches, our experts can evaluate the pieces and provide you a loan amount based on the current market value. The process is simple – you leave the items with us as collateral against the loan. Once the loan is repaid, along with a small fee, the pieces are returned to you.

Our loans are secured against fine jewelry and watches from top luxury brands such as Cartier, Tiffany & Co., Harry Winston, Rolex, and Patek Philippe. Customers appreciate they can access cash simply by bringing in pieces they no longer wear, but would like to keep in their possession once funds are secured. Rather than selling the luxury items, our loan program allows customers to maintain ownership while gaining quick access to working capital. We pride ourselves on fair and transparent evaluations to determine appropriate loan amounts.
