The family here is wonderful I have been going there on and off in the past. I truly feel they are very fair and reasonable. They are very nice people willing to help. Always had great conversation there. Very endearing to me. They are very intelligent and knowledgeable on a many things.

I HIGHLY recommend American Jewelry and Loan! I found the shop on yelp and couldn't be more satisfied! The shop is family run - by a father and son. I brought in a watch to sell. They were so patient, professional and honest! They took the time to look up the value and offered me a very fair price!

This place is amazing! Donnie the owner is such a sweet person and he made my transaction as comfortable and smooth as possible. Also the staff members are so sweet as well obviously because it starts with the owner. I never dealt with pawn shops to sell and I sold scrap gold.

★★★★★ Nina, Jul 2025

My fiancé and I bought our engagement rings here! It was the first store of many we visited, but we couldn’t get these first two rings out of our hearts or minds. We went back and got ‘em and now we will cherish them and our friendly experience in store here forever. They even gave us a HUGE discount!
