FAQs
Pawning vs. selling your GIA-certified diamonds
Pawning your GIA-certified diamonds with New Bond Street Pawnbrokers in Mayfair offers a flexible alternative to selling. You retain ownership while accessing immediate funds, with the option to reclaim your diamonds upon repaying the loan.
Why do we lend only against GIA diamonds?
We exclusively offer diamond loans in London for GIA-certified diamonds due to their globally recognised standards. This ensures accurate valuation and security for both parties.
How we value your diamond(s) before securing a loan
Our expert GIA diamond pawnbrokers in Mayfair assess your diamonds using the Four Cs: Cut, Clarity, Color, and Carat weight. We also consider current market trends when offering competitive diamond collateral loans.
How much can I pawn your diamonds for?
Loan amounts vary based on your diamond’s characteristics. At our New Bond Street location, we typically offer loans between 50-70% of the diamond’s current market value.
Understanding the 4 Cs and why they matter to determining the value of your diamond
The Four Cs (Cut, Clarity, Color, Carat) are crucial in assessing a diamond’s quality and value. Each factor significantly impacts the loan amount we can offer when you pawn GIA-certified diamonds.
Impact of colour on your diamond's loan value (1st C)
Colour grades range from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow or brown). Higher grades (D-F) typically secure higher loan values when you borrow against certified diamonds.
Impact of carat weight on your diamond's valuation (2nd C)
Carat refers to a diamond’s weight. Larger diamonds are rarer, often commanding higher values per carat when pawning loose diamonds.
Understand the cut of your diamond (3rd C)
Cut affects a diamond’s brilliance and overall appeal. Excellent cuts can significantly increase a diamond’s value when seeking diamond loans in London.
How does the clarity of your Diamond affect borrowing
Clarity grades range from Flawless to Included. Higher clarity grades generally secure better loan terms with our Mayfair diamond pawnbrokers.
I want to pay my loan earlier - will you charge me any penalties?
No, New Bond Street Pawnbrokers encourages early repayment without penalties, allowing you to reclaim your diamonds sooner.
How long can I pawn my diamonds for?
Our standard loan terms are between 2 and 7 months, but they can be extended if necessary. We offer flexible options to suit your circumstances.
What will happen to my diamonds if I don't pay my loan?
If you cannot repay the loan, we may sell your diamonds to recover the borrowed amount. However, we always strive to work with clients to find alternative solutions.
What papers do I need to pawn my diamonds to you?
You’ll need to provide the GIA certificate for your diamonds, proof of ownership, and a valid ID. In some cases, additional documentation may be required.
Will you carry a credit check?
No, we don’t perform credit checks. Your GIA-certified diamonds serve as collateral, making the loan process quicker and more accessible.
