Borrow against Jewellery

Borrow Now

Need a short-term loan at a great rate? Your jewellery can get you one.

People have owned jewellery since the dawn of time. Adorning oneself with jewellery is second nature to us all. Jewellery holds and conveys deep symbolism - birth, sex, marriage, wealth, power, success. At Unbolted we grant loans against almost all high-value jewellery. You can turn your fine or modern jewellery into cash - and all inside 24 hours. It's a simple and sensible way to free up funds without losing your prized possessions.

Tell us about your jewellery

To offer you the maximum possible loan, we will first need some information:

Type of jewellery: Is your loan to be secured against a pair of earrings? A diamond-set ring? Maybe an earring and necklace suite?
Metal: Are your earrings/rings/necklaces set in platinum or 18 carat gold? Is the metal UK hallmarked?
Signatures: Is your item signed by a major jewellery house like DeBeers or Bulgari? These increase the value - as does offering an original fitted case.
Diamonds and gemstones: Are these certified by, for example, AnchorCert, GIA or Gubelin? The more 'Four C' (cut, colour, clarity and carat) knowledge we have, the better. We use Rappaport information combined with auction house expertise to guarantee the maximum lending amount.
Provenance. Any proof of purchase or documentation will assist us in obtaining the most accurate value.

Ready to apply? It's fast and simple.

For an instant loan against your jewellery just complete a quick online application. There you can upload a photo and description.. We'll make an initial assessment and indicative loan offer within hours. If you choose to proceed, you may ship your jewellery with our specially designed, fully insured Royal Mail programme. We will normally advance funds within 24 hours and you'll benefit from the lowest rates in the United Kingdom.

Valuing Your Jewellery

We understand that to send a third party your most precious items is dependent on the confidence that they will be maintained in the manner you do and returned in exactly the same state.
