If you own diamond jewelry and need cash today, you probably have questions before you walk through the door.

The sections below answer the most common questions so you arrive informed and confident. Call the Lindenhurst location at [(631) 991-8866](tel:6319918866) or the Huntington location at [(631) 223-2173](tel:6312232173) to speak with someone right now.
What Is the Difference Between Pawning and Selling Diamond Jewelry?
Pawning and selling are two separate options, and at King Cash you choose which one fits your situation. Pawning means you hand over your diamond jewelry as collateral, receive a cash loan based on its appraised value, and keep ownership of the piece as long as you meet the loan terms — repay the loan and your jewelry comes back to you. Selling means the transaction is final: you receive immediate cash and the item changes hands permanently. After your appraisal you can pawn, sell outright, or take the piece home with the information you gained — there is no obligation to commit before you are ready.
How Long Is a Pawn Loan at a Long Island Diamond Pawn Shop?
King Cash offers two loan windows. You can choose a short-term 30-day loan or a long-term loan of up to four months. Interest is explained upfront and provided in writing before you agree to anything, so you know the exact cost before handing over the piece.
What Happens to My Jewelry During the Loan — and What If I Cannot Repay?
Your item is securely held by King Cash while the loan is active. You retain ownership throughout, and written transaction records are provided for every pawn loan. If you satisfy the loan terms, your jewelry is returned. King Cash maintains an easy repayment policy, and repayment terms are explained clearly before the loan is completed so you understand your options from the start.
Are Diamond Appraisals Free?
Yes — King Cash provides free in-store appraisals before you decide whether to pawn or sell, with no commitment attached. You can also call ahead for an immediate phone-based appraisal at no charge. For a precise final offer on complex or high-value diamonds, the in-person evaluation is the most accurate step.
What Does a Diamond Evaluation Actually Check?
The appraiser physically examines your diamond for size, cut, clarity, color, setting, and overall condition. If you have a GIA certificate, bringing it supports the evaluation by documenting the diamond’s specifications. Original boxes or receipts can also help, though the item itself drives the core offer.
How Is My Offer Calculated?
Offers are based on condition, authenticity, current market value, resale demand, and any included documentation or accessories. You receive a same-day cash offer before you decide whether to accept.
Do I Need a Credit Check to Pawn Diamond Jewelry?
No — your loan is based on the value of the item you bring in, not your credit score or credit history. Loan amounts range from $1 to $50,000, with cash on the spot.
How Fast Can I Get Cash for My Diamond Jewelry?
In many cases you can walk out the same day with cash in hand. The process is straightforward:
- Walk in during regular business hours — no appointment needed for most customers.
- The appraiser evaluates your diamond jewelry.
- You receive a clear, same-day cash offer.
- If you accept, you are paid on the spot.
What Do I Need to Bring?
Bring your diamond jewelry and a valid photo ID, which is required for pawn and purchase transactions. Extras such as a GIA certificate, original box, or purchase receipts can support the evaluation, but the item itself is always the starting point.
Can I Pawn Broken or Inherited Diamond Jewelry?
Yes — broken, old, or unwanted diamond jewelry can be evaluated based on the diamond, setting, condition, and resale demand. The stone and metal still carry value even when a setting is damaged. Inherited pieces are equally welcome; many Long Island residents bring in estate jewelry they have never worn and simply want a professional in-store evaluation.
Can I Bring Multiple Items at the Same Visit?
Yes — customers can bring multiple pieces of diamond jewelry or other eligible valuables for evaluation during the same visit. King Cash accepts gold, silver, luxury watches, electronics, power tools, musical instruments, coins, bullion, designer handbags, smartphones, collectibles, gemstones, precious metals, and other eligible items. This is common for customers clearing out a jewelry box or settling an estate.
Why Choose a Local Long Island Diamond Pawn Shop Instead of Selling Online?
Walking into King Cash means an in-person evaluation, same-day cash, and none of the shipping risks or buyer uncertainty that come with online marketplaces. King Cash is licensed as a pawnbroker, collateral loan broker, secondhand dealer, precious metals buyer, gold buyer, and jewelry buyer, and is compliant with applicable New York pawn shop regulations and secondhand dealer requirements. The business has been serving Long Island since 1996.

Call Before You Come In — Here Is What to Have Ready
If you want a head start, call either location for a phone-based appraisal. Have the piece in front of you and be ready to describe the diamond’s approximate size, the metal color, any hallmarks you can see, and whether you have a GIA certificate or original paperwork. That information lets the appraiser give you a meaningful range in a single call — before you make the trip. Walk in with your jewelry and a valid photo ID and you can have a formal offer and cash in hand the same day.
