Whether you want to sell, borrow against or buy diamonds, Pelican Pawn & Jewelry can help. Our family has bought, sold and lent on fine jewelry since 1992, and all 5 of our stores buy diamonds.
Sell your diamonds
We buy loose diamonds, as well as diamond rings, earrings, pendants and bracelets. Appraisals are free, and you’re paid on the spot. We also buy the gold settings. See We Buy Gold, Diamonds & Coins.
Diamond loans
Want to keep your diamond? Pawn it instead. We base a diamond pawn loan on the value of your jewelry, and we don’t check your credit. When you pay the loan back, your jewelry comes home with you. Learn more in How a Pawn Loan Works.
Shop diamond and fine jewelry
We sell pre-owned fine jewelry of every kind, including engagement rings, wedding bands, earrings, pendants, bracelets and more. Visit any store to see what’s in the case today.
How we evaluate diamonds
Our pawnbrokers look at the 4 Cs (cut, color, clarity and carat weight) and at the metal and condition of the setting. To learn more, read our guide to the 4 Cs of Diamonds.
Bring your paperwork
If your diamond has a grading report, an appraisal or a receipt, bring it with you. It helps us see what you have.
Engagement rings and bridal jewelry
Whether you’re moving on from a ring or looking for one, our stores buy, pawn and sell engagement rings and bridal jewelry. All 5 stores also do jewelry repairs.
