How it Works

Need a Loan? Bring Us Your Jewellery, High-End Watches and Other Valuables

If you’re like most people, you try to keep your credit card bills low at all costs. At Williams Pawnbrokers, we offer low-interest loans for your valuables. Bring us your gold and silver earrings, diamond necklaces, designer watches and other pieces. We’ll appraise it based on its age and condition and give you a loan on the spot – it’s that easy! For jewellery, we take into account metal quality, age and brand (if it’s a designer piece, the historical value). Please note that we do not offer payday loans.

Safe, Secure Storage for Your Jewellery

Do you have valuable jewellery that you don’t feel safe keeping at home? Renting a security deposit box at the bank can be expensive and inconvenient. Bring us your gold, silver, platinum and precious stones, and we’ll give you a loan in return. When you need your jewellery for a night on the town, simply pay back your loan and we’ll give it back. We follow all provincial guidelines so you can feel confident knowing that your necklaces, earrings and rings will be securely stored on-site and never sold. We also provide seasonal storage for bulky items such as golf clubs.

Fast Jewellery and Watch Repairs

Whether you have a wedding ring that needs resizing or a timepiece that no longer tells time, we provide repairs and alterations for all types of jewellery and watches. We also offer jewellery cleaning and custom design.
