Thinking about buying second-hand jewellery, but not quite sure where to start? Here are a few popular avenues to explore:

1. Cash Converters

We have a wide selection of pre-loved jewellery – everything from rings to necklaces and bracelets to watches – at affordable prices. Our offering also extends to items such as smart watches, charms and pendants, watch accessories… and even precious stones. We offer the best of both worlds, as you can choose to browse (and try on) pieces at our dedicated in-store jewellery sections at all our stores. Or you can browse online anytime (24/7) from the comfort of your couch and have items delivered to your door.

2. Antique shops

These are a must to try if you are specifically looking for a selection of vintage or antique jewellery pieces. Although antique stores are often a bit pricier than other options, you might find a unique and valuable find with a rich history behind it – and perhaps even get a detailed backstory on the keepsake itself from the owner of the store.

3. Online Marketplaces

These days, websites such as Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace offer so much more than cars, baby must-haves and household items. You can browse these platforms for jewellery in your area or search by category (potentially for something slightly further away) if you are looking for something specific. As you connect directly with the seller, you can also find out about the history behind the item. Just remember to meet in a public place, so that you are safe at all times.

4. Online Auctions

Websites like Bid or Buy Auctions frequently feature jewellery auctions where you can find pre-owned pieces… often at huge discounts. On the site, you will find the market price and the discounted selling price – then you can decide what to bid on from there. This is an exciting way to discover unique jewellery items and hidden treasures.

Always Remember

Wherever you choose to buy your jewellery, make sure that you research and verify the authenticity of any pieces that you are interested in purchasing. Before you look at any jewellery, educate yourself on different gemstones, metals and jewellery markings (and understand the three Cs of diamonds: cut, clarity and carat) so that you can make informed decisions. Buying at Cash Converters makes the process much easier. Our head office Jewellery Processing Centre (JPC) allows us to evaluate and refurbish jewellery, making it as close to new as possible.
