DIAMOND IS THE BIRTHSTONE FOR APRIL

3rd April 2018 A diamond signifies love, eternity, strength and everlasting affection. No wonder it’s the stone of choice for engagement rings and for people to show when they really care. We sell a lot of stunning diamond jewellery in spring as it is the season of marriage and birthdays however one particular ring stands out. I sourced, designed and set the most special stone for one lucky customer. A ‘D’ colour diamond (the whitest you can get), weighing over 2 carats and virtually flawless. This ring was valued at...

January 2018

4th January 2018 January and February are among the busiest months in the pawnbroking calendar. It’s not surprising as there are plenty of times of the year that compete for the title of ‘most expensive month’ but January has to be the overall winner.  With everyone struggling due to the overspending brought about the Christmas festivities, two thirds of us spend our Januarys paying back credit card bills and overdrafts. Apparently 50% of us avoid the famous January sales in an attempt to save money and twice as many of... Read More

Gold-cycling has become the theme of recent months and while some customers have used their items for loans, not wanting to part... Read More

The Summer is Over – Did it Ever Begin?

5th September 2015 What a wet and windy summer we have had this year! When I wrote the July edition of ‘Diary of a Pawnbroker’ I complained about the rubbish weather and the need to get away to warmer climes. Who better to borrow money from than a pawnbroker to get some instant cash and enjoy the late season deals? As soon as it went to print we had a mini ‘heatwave’ – you may not remember, but it was hot for about 2 weeks and I thought that I... Read More
