It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas…..

29th November 2019 Christmas is finally upon us and if you haven’t started your shopping yet – now is a good time! The question is ‘what do we buy that we know they will like?’  Here are my Top Tips for buying the perfect jewellery gift this Christmas: Symbolism – Buy something that marks an event, moment or interest. The link between the piece you buy and the thought that has gone into it will mean everything to your loved one and they will enjoy wearing it so much more. A... Read More

Christmas Is Coming..

30th September 2019 Strictly Come Dancing and X Factor are back on TV. That can only mean one thing – Christmas is coming and will be here before you know it! In fact it’s already less than 85 days away so if you haven’t begun already, now is the time to start thinking about your Christmas gifts to make this year really special. A Rolex is so much more than just a watch. Each timepiece takes about a year to construct and is tested to the highest standard before it... Read More

As Good As Gold..

30th August 2019 We all sometimes wish we had a crystal ball and knew what was coming next. Whether it’s the right time to sell or buy a house, invest in the stock market or for our industry, buy or sell some jewellery or gold. For my part I wish I had invested more of my money on pre-owned Rolex when I first began this business. My investment on some models such as a stainless steel Daytona would have nearly TRIPLED over the last 5 years. Rolex watches have always... Read More

It’s Time For Summer Shine!!

2nd August 2019 The school summer holiday has begun and this marks an interesting time in the jewellers and pawnbrokers calendar. 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! Kids need new uniforms, holidays need paying for and the household bills keep coming. It’s not surprising that the pawnbroking arm of the business can get really busy and many customers are looking to borrow a... Read More

GET SET FOR SUMMER!

28th June 2019 Summer holidays are almost here, the weather is heating up and our Foreign Exchange department have been rushed off their feet selling Euros and Dollars to those lucky enough to be going abroad. The gold price is really high right now no doubt due to the uncertainty across the world. In fact at the time of writing it is almost at its 2011 peak. If you have any unwanted gold or jewellery now is a great time to turn it into cash so call into your nearest... Read More

The ‘One Stop Shop’ for Summer!

5th June 2019 This month we launch our new Foreign Exchange department at our York and Pontefract branches. Seacroft, Shipley and Batley are already booming FX stores and it would seem that despite the uncertainty with the BREXIT decision and the political environment it doesn’t seem to have put us Brits off going abroad when it comes to the summer holidays. We try to be the most competitive supplier of Foreign Exchange in the locality and we check our rates throughout the day to make sure that remains the case.... Read More

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

Giving a special piece of jewellery is exciting and if you are planning to make it official and give an engagement ring then we have a range of stunning range of diamonds to... 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
