If you’re from Carmel Valley and need a short-term loan using high-value items like diamond jewelry or luxury watches, traditional pawn shops may not meet your expectations — or even be available nearby. That’s where C. Blackburn Jewelers steps in, offering a more refined and discreet alternative.
Located in La Jolla Village, C. Blackburn Jewelers provides collateral loans secured by premium assets, including large-carat diamond rings, fine estate jewelry, and high-end timepieces. Unlike typical San Diego pawnshops, we deliver enhanced privacy, more competitive loan values, and professional evaluations from a seasoned estate jeweler.
Expert Appraisals with No Credit Check
When you work with us, your credit score isn’t a concern. Carl Blackburn, our founder and an expert in fine jewelry, ensures that your assets are valued fairly and accurately. Whether you have a vintage Patek Philippe or a 3-carat engagement ring, you’ll receive a loan offer that reflects its true worth.
Clients from Carmel Valley appreciate the ease and confidentiality of our process—especially those who need immediate funds without the red tape of traditional banking. Whether it’s for personal reasons or to cover business costs, our tailored loans offer a practical solution.
Private, Professional Setting — Not a Typical Pawn Shop
Unlike the often-crowded environment of standard pawn shops, our boutique location offers a quiet and private atmosphere. This ensures that your financial transactions remain confidential and stress-free.
We offer loans ranging from $2,500 up to $100,000+, depending on the value of your collateral. Items we frequently accept include:
Large Carat Diamond Rings, Earrings & Necklaces
Designer pieces from Tiffany & Co., Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels
Luxury watches from Rolex, Omega, and More
Flexible Terms and Fair Interest
With C. Blackburn Jewelers, you only pay interest for the actual time the loan is active. Loan terms can be extended beyond 120 days when needed, and we even offer daily pro-rated interest on higher-value loans, so you’re never paying more than necessary.
Should you decide you no longer need your items, we also purchase high-end jewelry and watches outright, offering top-dollar based on current market value.
