Buying pre-owned jewelry in person
Compare condition, fit and the written description of the piece you are considering.
Start readingInspect the actual piece
Look at the setting, clasp, surface condition and fit. Ask the store what is known about the metal, stones and any repairs or modifications. Choose based on the item being offered rather than a photograph of a similar design.
Ask about documents and adjustments
Confirm which descriptions or reports accompany the piece and whether an adjustment would be needed. Do not assume resizing, repairs or other work are included; ask about availability and terms before buying.
Confirm the transaction
Ask about the final amount and applicable return or other store policies. If selecting a gift, clarify the presentation and fit arrangements first. Vice City Pawn invites customers to browse jewelry and diamonds; contact the store about current selection.
