You might have considered buying pre-loved items before (like appliances or tech). But have you ever considered buying pre-loved jewellery? There’s no time like the present – especially if you are looking for something special for a loved one. Here are a few reasons why it’s worth thinking about.  

Why should you consider second-hand jewellery?

1. Better pricing and value

Buying second-hand jewellery gives you huge savings on what you would have paid, if you had bought these precious items new. At Cash Converters, this includes branded watches and other accessories too. Best of all, your family and friends won’t even be able to tell the difference between new or pre-loved jewellery.

2. Access to unique signature pieces

Unlike buying a ‘stock standard’ ring or necklace from a big jeweller, when purchasing pre-owned pieces, you can acquire high-quality jewellery made with superior materials and fine attention to detail. You are able to buy a piece of history – a keepsake or even an heirloom, with its own story – which is something you cannot get if you buy new.

3. Sustainability consideration

One of the big positives that comes with buying second-hand jewellery is that you contribute to sustainable practices. Buying pre-owned jewellery means less mining and air pollution, and it preserves valuable resources like fuel, forests, and water. This means that you can extend the lifetime of an item, while being eco-conscious at the same time.

4. A future investment

Buying second-hand jewellery with potential investment value, allows you to enjoy wearing an item while also seeing its worth grow. At a later stage, you can decide to have the piece evaluated again, so that you can make an informed decision about its value and what you want to do with it next.

Always Remember

When purchasing second-hand jewellery, it’s recommended that you buy from reputable sources and established second-hand sellers ― such as Cash Converters ― or online marketplaces with buyer protection, to ensure authenticity and quality.
