H&T Pawnbrokers

H&T Pawnbrokers, a pawnbroker and jeweller with over a century of trading

H&T Pawnbrokers is a British company founded in 1897 that operates a network of more than 290 stores across the UK, according to its own presentation. Its business combines traditional pawnbroking with the buying and selling of precious metals, jewellery and luxury watches, as well as an online store.

Pawn loans and financial services

The company offers loans secured against goods, a type of service listed in its catalogue under the name pawnbroking. Customers can manage the repayment of these loans online, without needing to visit a store. It also offers a travel money service.

Buying and selling gold, jewellery and watches

The company buys gold and watches from individuals, and sells both pre-owned and new pieces. Its jewellery range includes rings — including engagement rings — necklaces and chains, bracelets, bangles, earrings and pendants, in versions for women, men and children. Among the metals available are 9, 14, 18 and 22 carat gold, sterling silver and platinum. The gemstone section covers diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, rubies and cubic zirconia.

Luxury watches and brands represented

The watch section brings together pieces from names such as Rolex, Tag Heuer, Omega, Cartier, Breitling and Tudor, among the most prominent in its catalogue, alongside a broader list that includes Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Hublot, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Longines, Panerai, Piaget, Vacheron Constantin and Zenith, among others. It also sells mid-range brands such as Tissot, Hamilton and Seiko. Watches are classified by movement — automatic, quartz or manual — and by price, with bands ranging from under £250 to over £30,000.

Precious metals: bars and coins

The store offers gold, silver and platinum bars, both new and pre-owned, in weights ranging from 1 gram to one ounce. In coins, the catalogue includes full sovereigns and half sovereigns, as well as Britannia, Krugerrand, French coins, American Eagles, Canadian Maples, crowns and collector sets. Coins are also organised by monarch: Charles III, Elizabeth II, Edward VII, George V and Victoria.

Other services and sales channels

In addition to its commercial activity, H&T offers watch repairs and has an eBay shop. The company publishes guides and informative content for investors and customers, and maintains a 30-day returns policy along with the option of click and collect for online orders.
