Decatur Jewelry & Pawn is central Illinois’ largest and most-respected precious metal buyers. We have been buying platinum, gold and silver from throughout Illinois since 1993. We are Decatur Illinois’ oldest precious metal buyers.

Not only do we pay the area’s top dollar on buying your precious metals such as platinum, gold and silver, we go one step further. Decatur Jewelry & Pawn also provides cash loans on precious metals. By entering into a loan agreement with us, using your gold or other metal, as collateral, you still own your valuable items. You are merely using your metal’s value as collateral for your short-term cash needs. “Pawning,” in laymen’s terms, “getting a loan,” your items will allow you to borrow money against them and return within 30 days and “redeem,” or pick your item up.

Not interested in getting a loan, or “pawn”? Then we will gladly buy your broken, out-dated or unwanted gold jewelry. Most people are finding hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars laying around in their jewelry boxes, dresser drawers, old suit jacket pockets and so forth.

How Does This Work?

Collect your precious metal jewelry and bring it in to us. Our friendly, expert staff will gladly explain each step of the process to you.

First, we will sort your gold into the proper karat: i.e., 10k, 14k, 18k, platinum, silver, etc. Next, we weigh each group to see its gram weight. Next, we price it against the precious metal commodity market. This is a world-wide buying/asking market, very similar to the stock market. Once we know your metal content, karat type and weigh, we then offer you our buying price.

This price is will change either up or down daily according to the precious metal market. We accept class rings, Masonic rings, single gold earrings, broken bracelets, chains, necklaces, pendants, charms, gold watches, gold teeth and more.

If you are unsure, please call our toll free number 1-888-877-4367 and we’ll gladly assist you.

Currently, precious metals are trading at or near historic high levels. Experts see this trend to continue into the near future. This prediction is based off many factors: Uncertain economic conditions, unstable oil markets, inflationary pressures, world tension and so forth.

Bring your parcel to Decatur Jewelry and Pawn and we will walk you through each step of the process and you will be leaving with quick cash in your hand for your silver gold or platinum jewelry. We look forward to seeing you.
