Jewelry Pawn Loans: The Math Behind Interest Rates & APR explained

When inflation hits your wallet, you may be looking for ways to get quick funding and cover an urgent expense or a well-timed investment. In such cases, jewelry pawning can be a smart alternative when you don’t want to part ways with your precious gems entirely.

However, getting a jewelry pawn loan with reasonable terms on your collateral that’s easy to understand, straightforward, and with a flexible repayment plan can be like finding a needle in a haystack these days!

In this article, we’ll discuss how Diamond Banc calculates interest rates and explain what an APR is with a clear representative example.

What is an interest rate?

The interest rate on an asset-based loan is the amount Diamond Banc charges when customers borrow money against their jewelry.

Our jewelry pawn loan interest rate is 2.5% per month or 30% APR when you borrow between 30% to 50% of the liquid wholesale value of your pledged collateral.

If you’ve got high-end designer jewelry and looking to borrow in the 6-figure, you can qualify for even a lower rate.

What is APR?

The APR or annual percentage rate is a sum calculation that includes the fixed interest rate summed the life of the loan (a year minimum), including additional associated costs like interest, security, storage, and insurance fees.

Once the rate is defined, also known as representative APR, consumers may use it to cross-compare it with what other lenders are offering in the market.

Representative Example

Meet Mary, a nurse from Baltimore in her mid-forties.

Mary wants to help his son, a college student, get engaged this spring. She wants to cover the engagement ring cost but doesn’t have anything she can pull out from her current savings account.

Mary has a few credit card debts and her son’s student loan to pay every month, but luckily, her jewelry box came in to save the situation.

Many years ago, she had inherited a vintage 3-carat round-cut diamond ring from her mother as an heirloom piece, set in 14K white gold.

After doing a search online with the query “jewelry pawn shop online”, she found Diamond Banc. With the filling of a simple form describing her item in detail, she received an initial offer the day after.

In this example, say the loan amount was approved for $3,500 USD. Mary wants to pay back her jewelry pawn loan with equal installments every 1st of the month but does not want the life of the loan to exceed one (1) year.

Mathematically speaking, this means:

3,500 x 0.025 = $87.50 per month of interest payments

3,500 x 0.3 [APR] = $1,050 of total interest paid after a year when the item is recouped

Mary gave the cash to his son, who took the investment to a custom jeweler to design his bride-to-be’s dream engagement ring. With this approach, she’ll probably get more value versus going to a high street retail jewelry store for instance.
