Flexible Lending……

10th May 2019 Many of our customers just borrow money to make ends meet for a few months. Loans could be £100 – £200 and they are so flexible you can pay as little or as much off as often as you wish and lower the loan and interest payments accordingly. Some borrow money for property renovations, others to run their business and some just as a treat to go on holiday.  Our customers appreciate the speed and confidentiality of this service. Where else can you borrow from ten to... Read More

Shine Bright Like A Diamond

31st March 2019 Diamonds are the birthstone for the month of April, meaning April born ladies have an extra reason to own these beautiful sparkling gemstones.  Diamonds are rare and unique, formed billions of years ago about 100 miles below ground and brought to the surface by volcanic eruptions.  They are made of a single element, carbon, and under intense heat and pressure the atoms bond into a beautiful rare crystal. This ‘rough diamond’ is then split and expertly cut into the sparkly gemstone we wear in our jewellery with... Read More

JANUARY 2019

7th January 2019 Not many things are a certainty at present. The country’s economic future, Brexit, and who will be PM in 6 months’ time but one thing is certain, Christmas has passed and for those feeling the pinch Brown & Gold are a good option for a quick cash fix. January and February are among the busiest months in the pawnbroking calendar. With everyone struggling due to the overspending brought about by the Christmas festivities, two thirds of us spend January paying back credit card bills and overdrafts. Apparently 50%... Read More

MAKE THIS CHRISTMAS VERY SPECIAL

4th December 2018 Christmas is a magical time. For me it’s the highlight of a whole year of planning, buying and making beautiful jewellery that we hope will make someone feel very special on Christmas morning. It is also about the giving and receiving of gifts, the parties and fun and of course the religious celebration that surrounds the whole event.  At Brown & Gold we have had a really busy year and our two new branches in York and Pontefract have really taken off and give us 5 stores in...

September 2018

3rd September 2018 What a lovely hot summer we have had this year. It’s been as hot as I can ever remember. Now we enter September,  the nights turn darker and the weather cooler and windier, our thoughts begin to turn to Christmas. ‘Too soon’ I hear you say? Not really. We only have bonfire night and X-Factor to occupy us between now and then and with kids back to school and less than 4 months to go, it will be here before you know it. Christmas cards already on sale,... Read More

August 2018

3rd August 2018 One year on and both stores are flourishing and fully integrated into the family business. The shops are both branded ‘Christopher Brown Jewellers’ offering the full suite of new and pre-owned jewellery and financial services,  increasing our branch network to 8 branches across the North with 5 in Yorkshire.  My family have been jewellers and pawnbrokers for six generations and have been in the trade for nearly 180 years. The original business began in 1840 in Leeds and although that business has since changed ownership I am proud... Read More

JULY 2018

5th July 2018 As World Cup fever reaches its crescendo and the summer holidays begin, trade becomes very interesting as a jeweller and a pawnbroker. Parents who until now have been managing perfectly well with their work / life balance suddenly have a house full of children demanding money, holidays and most costly of all – their time! In a few short weeks holidays need paying for, kids will need new uniforms and our household and credit card bills still keep coming. It’s not surprising that the pawnbroking arm of... Read More

JUNE 2018

30th May 2018 April and May have once again been big lending months. On top of that Gold Buying seems to have gone crazy – it’s like 2012 all over again! Gold price remains high and I believe people are realising now is the time to take advantage of that and sell their unwanted and scrap gold. Times are hard out there with petrol pump prices reaching new heights and inflation on most items we purchase due to the BREXIT effect while wages are limping somewhere behind. We recently opened...
