How Pawn Shopping Works
When you pawn something at Gems N’ Loans near San Clemente, that item is actually collateral for a loan. We give you money, and take something from you as collateral in the event that you don’t pay it back.
You can also simply sell off your positions at our pawn shop. One thing about pawn shops is that they aren’t automatically interested in everything. For example, you’re probably not going to get what you expect to get in those cases in anything. However, Pawn brokers do value things fairly, but they also have t make a profit to cover their overhead.
Some people think pawn shops are depressing places with nothing good for sale. On the contrary, one of the things you might not know about pawn shops is the great deals on interesting things you can find!

Tips to Sell Your Gold jewelry
1. Know the weight of your gold helps determine its value, but keep in mind that jewelers use a different measurement standard called a Troy ounce. U.S. scales will measure 28 grams per ounce, while gold is measured at 31.1 grams per Troy ounce.
2. The Federal Trade Commission requires that all jewelry sold in the U.S. describe a karat fineness of the alloy. For example: 1 karat equals 1/24 of pure gold by weight, therefore, 14 karats would mean the jewelry was 14 parts gold and 10 parts other metals. Always have the karats of your gold confirmed before selling.
3. Call a Gems N’ loans in Dana Point to verify the current market price for gold before you sell. Some dealers know people are just looking for quick cash to put in their pockets and will offer you money for your gold that is lower than the actual value.
4. Being reasonable means keeping in mind that gold parties, often hosted by friends and neighbors, are really more about fun than value. Taking all factors into consideration, sellers at gold parties will likely get between 70 and 80 percent of the real value of their item.
