The consumer magazine features news, advice, and guides that are helpful to consumers looking to sell or collateralize their fine jewelry, diamonds, watches, and gold. Features in the first week’s edition of the magazine include:
• A consumer’s Seller’s and Loan Guide for jewelry, gold, diamonds, & watches;
• A report on vintage and estate jewelry as an investment;
• A detailed answer to the question, “What is a good price for dental gold scraps by the gram?”;
• Upcoming highlights from leading national auction houses, such as Skinner and Phillips de Pury & Co.;
• A report on the impact that the Friedman’s Jewelers bankruptcy will have on national pawn shops.
The San Diego Luxury Pawn Shop Report also includes general interest articles aimed toward collectors and anyone fascinated with the world of fine jewels and watches. Featured this week are a video of the recently discovered Lesotho diamond, which weighs in at a whopping 478 carats; a modern master spotlight on the 24k gold jewelry designer Gurhan Orhan; and a release from National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, announcing the dates of their Del Mar California show—one of the few events where average collectors can discover true “wholesale” deals on collectible timepieces.
According to Managing Editor, Alan Blyler, the San Diego Luxury Pawn Shop Report hopes to cut through hype regarding the selling and valuation of fine jewelry, watches, diamonds, and precious metals. “Our motto is Better Information Leads to Better Decisions,” says Blyler. “This is especially true when selling pre-owned fine jewelry or timepieces, where the brand name, design style, craftsmanship, and year of production all come into play when obtaining a fair offer from a buyer.”
Blyler added that the decision to launch the magazine now was influenced by the steady rise of gold prices and the recent economic downturn, which together have dramatically increased the number of consumers interested in selling their unnecessary jewelry, while causing many stock-scared investors to look toward precious metals, large carat+ diamonds, and collectible pre-owned watches as new additions to their financial portfolios.
