Las Vegas is a great place for pawn shop bargains, like the solid 18k yellow gold spiral emerald & diamond earrings in the picture below. I paid $165. They are custom, one-of-a-kind signature pieces...

I've been mooning over some your jewelry steals, very pretty stuff ladies.

Now I have a trip to NYC coming up in spring and I wanted to ask if any of you may had any idea bout some pawn shops there that maybe have some antique or vintage stuff too?
Thankful for any suggestions :-)

Yeah... Pawn shops always has a great stuff to offer, but you always need to choose the right pawn shop. I mean a reliable one, coz buying jewelry is a big thing. I prefer visiting Cash Pawn Sales, rather than trying diff shops. This is coz I have been dealing with them since 4 years! they are worth the trust :)

I found these two items... I am new to this blog and still navigating my way around.. If there is another place to help identify pieces let me know... But i did just pick these up at a flea market. my guesses are jade charm and a Italian glass brooch.

I have bought quite a few rings at pawn shops. I started buying about ten years ago but realized just wasn't wearing any of it anymore because it was yellow gold. I just sold it and got about $1,600.00. I am going back out to hit the pawn shops again to see what else I can find.

you definitely have a right to your opinion, and that's ok. however, i disagree. not everybody who sells their wares at a pawn shop are "desperate" for cash or money. they just want to unload their stuff without the worries of garage sales, craigslist or ebay. they just want to get rid of it. not only that, there are people who sell their wedding rings/engagement rings at pawn shops because they're no longer married and maybe don't have the resources to sell elsewhere.

i'm sorry, but i don't think it's preying on people's hard times. if anything, in this economy, buying brand new at an overpriced jewelry store is ridiculous, imo. but that's just me.

i once sold all of my old promise rings at a pawn shop that i have received from boyfriends over the years, because once i got married, i didn't want them, nor would i ever wear them again. they weren't worth much to even bother selling on consignment, so i just wanted the quick cash for them. not everybody that goes in there are down and out on their luck.

what do you think estate sales are? not always people who are deceased, it's the family members wanting to unload all of their ancestors' crap for cash.

Toally agree with you! You will never know peoples reason of pawning... I just wish any pawnshop wouldn't accept stolen jewelry and from minors. It happened with my mom. Her niece stole some of her jewelry and pawned it. My mom was able to track down the pawnshop because there was just few of them in the province. In our country its prohibited to accept jewelry from anyone below 16 so my mom called the police and reprimanded them. I think they returned the bangles but it just wasnt the same. It was 22k and i think they rushly produce one that was so thin it look like tin can....my mom cant do anything anymore. It used to be so thick! Come on a kid that keeps coming back to pawn what seem like an older womans jewelry???
