Diamond Banc Opens New Office in Pasadena, CA

Diamond Banc Expands to Pasadena

It’s official: Diamond Banc is growing its California footprint again! We are thrilled to announce that our newest office opens November 10, 2026, on Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena. Joining our offices in Beverly Hills and San Diego, Pasadena becomes Diamond Banc’s third California location and gives clients across the San Gabriel Valley a private, local place to sell or borrow on their fine jewelry, diamonds, luxury watches, and gold.

The Pasadena office is located at 680 E. Colorado Blvd., Suite 2023, Pasadena, CA 91101, and is open Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 5 PM. Clients can reach the office directly at (626) 887-8741 or by emailing pasadena@diamondbanc.com. To schedule a private consultation, book an appointment through our Calendly.

Meet Our Pasadena Market Director, Silvea Parsamyan

Leading the new office is Silvea Parsamyan, Diamond Banc’s Market Director for Pasadena. Silvea has spent more than 20 years in the jewelry industry, which is essentially her entire professional career. She began in luxury jewelry sales, where she built a deep understanding of both the pieces themselves and the client experience, and later moved into senior leadership and operations with a focus on scaling jewelry businesses.

Silvea has personally opened five jewelry locations throughout the Los Angeles area, overseeing each one from planning through execution. Leading an office in Pasadena is especially personal for her: she is a Pasadena native and lifelong resident with deep ties to the community and the greater Los Angeles market.

Clients who work with Silvea can expect a thorough, detail-oriented, fact-based evaluation, delivered by someone who is personable, empathetic, and focused on building lasting relationships rather than closing a single transaction.

A Playhouse District Address on Colorado Boulevard

Our office sits inside Playhouse Plaza in Pasadena’s Playhouse District, on the same stretch of Colorado Boulevard the Rose Parade travels every New Year’s Day. We are directly across the street from Vroman’s Bookstore, which has been a Pasadena institution since 1894 and is the oldest and largest independent bookstore in Southern California, and a short walk from the Pasadena Playhouse and the shops and restaurants along Lake Avenue.

The office is designed to provide a discreet, secure, and comfortable setting for clients who want to sell fine jewelry or access asset-backed loans. Every visit begins with a one-on-one consultation, and our specialists explain exactly how they arrived at a number, from diamond grading to brand premiums to what comparable pieces have recently sold for.

What the Pasadena Office Buys and Lends On

The Pasadena office specializes in purchasing high-value assets and in loans that use those assets as collateral, including:

Who Is Diamond Banc?

Diamond Banc is a national leader in jewelry, diamond, and luxury watch buying and lending, with offices spanning coast to coast. The company was founded by Mills Menser, a third-generation jeweler and owner of Buchroeders, a retail jeweler in continuous operation since 1896. In 2018, Diamond Banc partnered with Diamond Cellar Holdings, one of the largest independent jewelers in the United States and an authorized dealer for brands including Rolex and Patek Philippe.

That background is what lets us pay strong prices. Our national network of qualified buyers and collectors gives us real-time insight into what specific diamonds, watch references, and designer pieces are trading for, so our offers reflect the secondary market rather than melt weight or a generic price list.

Serving Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley

The new Pasadena office proudly serves surrounding communities including South Pasadena, San Marino, Altadena, Sierra Madre, Arcadia, La Cañada Flintridge, Glendale, Burbank, and the greater San Gabriel Valley.

Clients can begin the process online through our secure submission form, schedule a private consultation, or visit our Colorado Boulevard office to discuss their item in person. Learn more about Diamond Banc of Pasadena or get started with a complimentary, no-obligation value assessment today.
