The metal present
The team assesses weight and purity rather than relying on color or a stamp alone. Stones and non-gold parts need to be considered separately.
COLLATERAL LOANS · PROVIDED BY SDJB
Your gold.
A borrowing option.
Ask San Diego Jewelry Buyers about borrowing against eligible gold rings, chains, bracelets or broken pieces. You do not need a designer name or a weight estimate to start the conversation.
Your item is held as collateral. Written terms apply.

BEFORE AN AMOUNT CAN BE DISCUSSED
What the team needs to understand.
The whole piece
Maker, gemstones and resale appeal may matter alongside the gold. Bring pieces intact and mention known repairs or mixed materials.
Your repayment plan
Ask about the amount available and the full cost of recovering your gold. The amount offered is not determined by multiplying the item’s total weight by a gold-market price.
Eligibility and an offer depend on the actual item and the lender’s requirements. A photo can begin a conversation; it cannot complete the evaluation.
Prepare for your evaluationBEFORE YOU SIGN
Understand the path
to getting it back.
The item secures the loan and stays with the lender under the agreement. To recover it, you must meet the agreement’s repayment requirements. Failure to redeem can result in losing the item.
- Ask for the amount offered, interest, fees and total repayment.
- Confirm the due date, redemption steps and what happens if payment is late.
- Ask how your particular item and its accessories will be recorded and held.
- Confirm the lender’s identity and the terms that apply to your transaction.

Store details & directionsQuestions before borrowing.
Can I keep wearing the item?
No. The lender holds the item as collateral until it is redeemed according to the agreement.
Does an appraisal tell me the amount I can borrow?
No. An appraisal may serve a different purpose. The lending assessment and written agreement determine the offered amount and terms.
What if I am uncertain about repaying?
Discuss that before borrowing. A collateral loan has costs and a risk of losing the item if you do not redeem it. Selling is a separate option if you are ready to part with it.
