Why should we buy jewelry from a pawn shop instead of a retail location?
The prices of jewelry at pawn shops is often 50% to 150% cheaper then that of retail stores. Many retail locations buy diamonds from diamond wholesellers, who in turn buy diamonds from many locations, including pawn shops. There is virtually no difference between buying a piece of jewelry at a pawn shop then buying a retail location, except that a pawn shop is much, much cheaper.
