Have you ever heard of a jewelry-backed loan? Fine jewelry has more value than just sparkle and shine. Your fine jewelry is a great option to use when you need quick cash. Many jewelry owners aren’t aware of the loan opportunities that their jewels give them. Your fine jewelry could be the perfect item for collateral.
David Yurman is a well known jewelry brand throughout the world. With unique takes on combining different metals and stones, it is no shock that this is a very loved brand. Whether you want to make money from your current David Yurman pieces or you just want to swap out your older pieces for new, Capetown Capital Lenders is the place for you. We buy David Yurman at fantastic prices that you will love!
Knowing your jewelry and its history helps determine its value. With periods like the Edwardian era, Art Deco and Mid-Century design, it’s easy to misdate your vintage beauties.
The worth of an estate piece depends on what style is popular at whatever time the owner decides to sell. For instance, the Art Deco period has become fashionable again, so jewelry from that period is worth more because there are more potential buyers. Some classic styles are more resistant to the ebbs and flows of fashion, like pendent necklaces or single-stone engagement ring settings. A vintage piece that is out of fashion will rarely be worth more than the gems and metals of which it’s made.
Anyone presented with the iconic Tiffany blue box knows to expect something special. Tied with a satin white bow, the little box symbolizes the timeless elegance of Tiffany & Co. The brand is a mainstay in classic American style, and has maintained its popularity for nearly 200 years through innovative design and advanced technology.

Its low cost means that styles change more quickly, and sterling silver pieces might be replaced more often than gold or platinum pieces. If you have sterling silver you no longer want, make sure you know the three basics about selling your silver:
