It’s like a gamble, except no bad luck. Shopping at Cash Converters means you have access to items that will no longer be on the market – and you never know what you might find. From vintage engagement rings to striking pendants, bracelets and earrings, every item goes through the bespoke workshop at the Cash Converters Head Office’s Jewellery Processing Centre. Here each item is cleaned and evaluated before they are returned to stores to be sold. Have a look at the categories of jewellery available at Cash Converters here.

And if you’re still not sold, consider these reasons why collecting second-hand items is the way to go.

1.  Savings

You’ll have access to jewellery made from real gold, silver, platinum and white gold, but at a lower price. The stones are usually either semi-precious or precious, meaning you can find real diamonds, rubies and sapphires at lower prices.

2. Sustainability

We all know the impact of mining on the environment, and the demand for new jewellery is a real contributor to this. If diamonds are forever, why should we keep mining new ones? These expertly cut stones are here for us to enjoy and appreciate, many set in unique settings that aren’t always available anymore.

3.  Unique finds

Not only is a lot of the jewellery on offer not available in stores anymore, but each piece comes with a story and character. You can’t match that at a commercial store. Investing in stories is a way of enriching and enhancing the products you buy.  

4. Quality craftsmanship

Older jewellery often features superior craftsmanship and materials. By buying second-hand, you can own a piece of jewellery that has stood the test of time and is likely to last for many more years.

5. Investment potential

Some second-hand jewellery, especially vintage or antique pieces, can grow in value over time. This makes them not only a beautiful accessory but also a potential investment.
