Amazing quality, Look for Ligia she is the best!! I appreciate how she took good care of me on my first purchase! Good real quality gold chain. Love this place next time going for my pendant! Professional and clean!! They got a sort of arrangements from solid gold, diamonds..i personally got the solid gold for an amazing price. They work very well and are happy to give you exactly the piece you or a special somebody looking for with pristine condition!

Called to redeem my ticket on the Monday before pickup. Was told I can retrieve my item by 10am on the second business day.I arrive at 12pm on the Thursday after I called to retrieve my pawn only to be told to come back before they close.When I told the manager this was not possible, he told me he didn’t care and to get out of his store. I said I will wait for my item.Nobody came in or left the store while I waited. After 20 minutes the manager said he has my item.Gee all of a sudden it was available?.Before turning over my $$$ I requested he test the diamonds in my presence. Happily everything was ok.Be wary of shady actions by the store manager.

I love buying jewelry here with Joanne, shes been very special to me. I was worried I was going to have a hard time getting a nice chain and necklace to pass down to my son and daughter after the passing of my father and she really made it possible for me. Gave me a great deal on both plus a pendant, and I am just absolutely happy with the choice I made of going to her. I feel like I made a great investment here, and will certainly be buying jewelry from only her from now on, she is very trustworthy, sweet, and honest. 💯% Satisfied

Great customer service. My husband and I were ending a visit to New York City and wanted something special. We purchased new wedding bands to celebrate 53 years of being together: a beautiful diamond band for me and a nice wide band for my husband. Ligia graciously found the perfect pieces for us and made shopping there a real pleasure.

I recently visited the store as I was on a prolonged business trip to New York City. I ended up taking my camera & selling it as I needed a little cash & was looking to upgrade soon. Joanne on 8th Ave took great care of me. She was professional, friendly, very thorough & efficient. She asked questions that were helpful to fit my needs & was more than fair when offering to buy my camera with various options. I was very pleased with the customer service & overall experience as the store was clean, neat & had a bevy of buying options. Joanne got me in the store & out. If I need a pawn shop in NYC, I’m definitely returning.

I made a purchase and Luis was the gentleman who helped me and he was a great guy and a lot of help . He was helpful, he was personable and he didnt make you feel like you were getting ripped off like alot of these places do. If you go inside ask for him And he didnt ask me to write this and I dont know him personally but I come from the camp if someone does right by you then you take the time to show your appreciation for them going above and beyond.

Ive been doing business with Gem since the early 1980s. My sisters and I decided to honor our late mothers wishes and purchased crosses and chains for my great nieces and nephew as Christmas gifts. I always check Gem because I can always find great pieces at great prices. I was reconnected with Ligia, the sales manager at the 8th Ave store, who I hadnt seen since she was in the downtown Brooklyn store years ago! Liggia took care of us. We found beautiful pieces that Im sure will be treasured for years to come! I also found a little something for myself! Thanks Ligia, youre still the best!

Came to sell an electronic at 9am. I`m usually there after 10am and the staff near electronics are usually so nice and helpful. Instead I got a staff member by the Name of Aaron. What I was trying to sell was on sale for $200 right in the display glass. He told me he cant do anything higher than $30. He then said he would do $35 in exchange for a 5 star review mentioning his customer service..

Went in to buy a watch automatically was greeted by an amazing soul. She smiled and told me her name was Leslie. I wasn’t sure what kind of watch I wanted and she gave me her undivided attention making sure we picked a good one. She made sure the watch fit my personality and style. She gave me a friend vibe instead of a “I want your money just buy anything” vibe. Definitely will be returning all thanks to Leslie and my brand new Rolex !!!!!!!

Review №90

I was weary to ever step into a pawn shop. But I took a leap of faith and was very happy that I did. First off, the New York store looked more like a jewelry store than a low class pawn shop. My salesperson was Leslie and she was very friendly. And most important, honest. I asked for a minimum of $1000 for my watch and they offered me $1200. Transaction was simple and easy. No hussle, no sales pitching. Very professional.Will use them again in the future. Buy or sell with confidence with this store. Thank you!
