Bulgari is an Italian jeweler and luxury goods brand which was founded in 1884 by the Greek jeweler Sotirios Voulgaris. The brand’s trademark is usually written “BVLGARI” in the classical Latin alphabet (where V = English U), and is derived from the Voulgaris surname.

The Bulgary flagship store in via dei Condotti was opened in 1905 by Bulgari with the help of his two sons, Costantino and Giorgio. The store quickly became a place where the world’s rich and famous came for the unique, high quality jewelry designs combining Greek and Roman art.

Bulgari jewelry design is distinctive and often imitated (and counterfeited). In the 1970s, many of the more expensive Bulgari pieces (such as necklaces, bracelets and earrings) were characterized by instantly recognizable, bold, architectural designs combining large and weighty gold links with interlocking steel. Bulgari is also famous for colored stones, especially sapphires mixed in unique formats. Genuine Bulgari watches have a unique serial number that is registered with the company.

Under the stewardship of Sotirio’s grandsons Paolo and Nicola Bulgari, and nephew Francesco Trapani, the Bulgari brand began to diversify, introducing a perfume line and establishing itself as a luxury goods brand recognized throughout the world. Since October 2011, Bulgari has been owned by the French firm LVMH.

“Reality television shows like ‘Pawn Stars’ have certainly done a lot to improve the image of pawn shops in the public’s mind,” says Blackburn. “With the economy continuing to struggle, many people also want to sell gold, sell jewelry, and sell diamonds for extra cash. Thanks to investigative news reports, sellers now know that their local pawn shops usually pay more than big, nationally advertised, gold buyers and jewelry buyers.”

The Fox News report states that a common transaction at pawn shops during the holiday season is a customer temporarily pawning fine jewelry for extra cash to purchase presents. The customer then retrieves their jewelry and pays off the collateral loan a few months later when their tax refund arrives.

“We have seen this kind of holiday loan arrangement a lot the past couple years,” says Blackburn. “Our customers understand that a pawn shop loan can often be less than what they would pay for a cash advance on their credit card. In addition, they can take out a pawn shop loan without having to worry about a credit check or putting their credit rating at risk. San Diego pawn shops don’t report transactions to any credit agency.”

Blackburn also adds that more people are visiting pawn shops today because the price of gold, silver, and diamonds is still high. Therefore, customers can sell jewelry, sell coins, and sell bullion for more than they could have in previous years. In addition, more and more luxury shoppers are purchasing pre-owned luxury items like Rolex watches, instead of buying them brand new.

That San Diego Jewelry Buyers was awarded a registered trademark is a testament to its position as a leading jewelry buyer not only in Southern California but nationwide. “We weren’t sure that we would receive the registered trademark, since it’s difficult to get one when your company name includes a city name and a descriptive phrase like ‘jewelry buyers’. It is much easier if you are using a personal name or made-up name like Google,” says Blackburn.

San Diego Jewelry Buyers success in acquiring its registered trademark is likely attributed to the fact that it is an A+ BBB company and among the only jewelry buyers in the country that receives regular media coverage in publications like the San Diego Union Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle, Miami Herald, New York Daily News, and CBS Money Watch. Its website SanDiegoJewelryBuyers.com is also one of the highest ranked jewelry buyer sites in the world.

In addition to SDJB’s positive and well-known position among national jewelry buyers, its owner Carl Blackburn has been a leader in promoting ethical jewelry and gold buying practices, alerting consumers to the dangers of rogue gold buyers.

San Diego Jewelry Buyers is among the country’s most prominent luxury pawn shops, frequently purchasing and providing collateral loans on jewelry, prestige timepieces, and other portable gift assets valued into the six figures.

Carl Blackburn of San Diego Jewelry Buyers (SDJB) has confirmed that rogue gold buyers are also a problem in San Diego County. Previously interviewed by KUSI TV in a news report on how to sell gold safely, Blackburn states that legal gold buyers must possess a second-hand dealer’s license and follow mandatory procedures when buying gold from the public. These procedures include requiring photo identification and a fingerprint from the gold seller, using government-certified scales to weigh gold, and holding onto gold merchandise for 30 days before processing.

These rigorous steps ensure that licensed San Diego gold buyers are not buying stolen gold from criminals. “Some people believe that thieves use pawn shops and other licensed dealers to sell stolen gold,” says Blackburn. “But that is a misperception. Criminals much prefer using rogue gold buyers, who (unlike us) are not licensed and regulated on the local, state, and federal level.”

Blackburn also warns that rogue gold buyers operate through San Diego gold parties held at the homes of residents. “Any San Diego gold buyer who buys gold at your home is doing so illegally,” says Blackburn. “Second-hand dealers may only buy gold at their permanent business residence. They cannot throw gold parties at your home and purchase gold from your friends.”

Blackburn encourages all those who want to sell gold to use a licensed gold buyer like San Diego Jewelry Buyers, which is both a gold buyer and a San Diego gold refinery. “When you sell gold to a licensed dealer, you are protecting both yourself and your community. There are many gold buyers to choose from in the San Diego area. We always recommend people research the gold buyer online before making a final decision about who to sell gold to.”

San Diego Jewelry Buyers is recognized for more than just high cash offers; they are an A+ BBB silver buyer well known for exceptional customer service, as revealed by another customer’s review: “I had so many silver coins I couldn’t even take them out of my car!

While browsing SDJB’s in-store book for silver sellers, potential customers can also read about the company’s extensive media coverage.

Montblanc’s White House fountain pen features 18K white-gold trim that represent the columns of the historic house of American presidents. The shimmering barrel is made of light blue transparent precious resin and draws its inspiration from the blue room, the main reception room in the White House, while the 19K white-gold cap ring with square-cut diamonds is a fascinating miniature reproduction of the south balcony. The head of an eagle with sapphire eyes links the ring to the clip, the tip of which is also set with a sapphire. The rhodium plated 18 carat gold nib is symbolic of the United States of America.

To honor the nation’s presidents, Montblanc limited the fountain pens of The White House Limited Edition Solid Gold Skeleton to 43–the number of American presidents to have held office by 2003, when the pens were created. “These pens created a big stir among Montblanc collectors when they were released eight years ago and they have steadily and significantly increased in value,” says Blackburn. In 2008, a Montblanc White House fountain pen was sold at a Christie’s auction for $26,250. Today, the value has grown even higher.

The Montblanc pen is one of several important purchases that San Diego Jewelry Buyers has made during the past few months. Among its other prominent buys was a rare Van Cleef & Arpels pendant and earrings set that included flawless diamonds and multi-carat Columbian emeralds. Purchases such as these have solidified SDJB’s reputation as Southern California’s premier buyer of important jewels and objets d’ art. The luxury pawnbroker also offers collateral cash loans of up to $250,000 on these luxury items.

“We think the current price of gold is a bubble that is poised to burst…With very little warning, the bottom can drop out on gold prices very quickly. For example, during six short months in 2008, gold lost more than 30 percent of its value. In the 1980s, in a little more than two years, the price of gold dropped approximately 65 percent.”

JCK also quotes economist Lloyd Thomas as saying, “gold’s rise has fueled by “herd behavior. You saw this with the NASDAQ in the 1990s, or the housing bubble from 1998 to 2006,” he says. “When people see something that is creating gigantic returns, they jump on it, and that creates a bubble, and bubbles always burst.”

If you want to sell gold coins, sell gold jewelry, or sell other gold assets before the gold bubble bursts, it might be better to do it sooner rather than later. To get the most cash for gold, visit a gold buyer like San Diego Jewelry Buyers, which is a gold refinery, gold coin dealer, and estate jeweler combined.

“Pawn shops have traditionally been associated with rundown neighborhoods and shady dealings — think of that violent scene in the movie “Pulp Fiction.” An online pawn shop, Pawngo aims to change that perception. But can the site bring a fresh, perky attitude to the inherently depressing tradition of selling one’s valuables out of desperation?”

Is this an accurate way to begin a Pawngo review? It seems that this writer and other journalists have never walked into any of the hundreds of wonderful pawn shops that exist across the United States. These pawn shops are anything but a depressing experience or located in a run down district. Their pawn shop owners take pride in building a valuable business presence in the community and serve thousands of local residents with professional and ethical service. Just look at what you see on the TV show “Pawn Stars“.
