I dont typically leave reviews but I was compelled by Gabes superb customer service, expertise and care. Specifically Gabe took me through the process of assessing my items and carefully explained how he arrived at his pricing. He even suggested I sell an item on Ebay; that I could get more than he could offer. He even offered to help! Few people understand that building relationships in business nets more business. I appreciate your help Gabe.

I went to West Town Jewelry & Loan having done my homework and determined not to be taken advantage of when selling a gold ring that I had. Gabe, the owner inspected it and gave a quick rundown of current market value & how much he was able to offer. I was pleasantly surprised that his offer fell into the higher end of what I hoped to get for the piece. On top of that, he was friendly and pleasant to interact with. This was my first time selling any type of jewelry and I expected the experience to be akin to dealing with a car dealer - a shell game of numbers and fees. Glad to say that it was transparent & without any stress.

West Town Jewelry & Loan gave me the BEST prices for my bullion. The prices they pay are much more than other competitors in the area. When places say, we pay the most for your gold, West Town Jewelry really means it! Gabe is an extremely nice man who helped explain everything to me in detail. I would highly recommend visiting this place to buy/sell jewelry, bullion, etc.

Gabe was very professional and make the process very easy. I have been to other pawn shops before and the experience at West Town Jewelry was the best! The process was simple, quick, and I felt that Gabe provided the best value that he could have for the items. I would highly recommend going here before you go elsewhere because you wont be disappointed.

I researched places to sell jewelry and landed on West Town. I went in today and Gabe looked over my pieces and gave me great info on what my items were worth and a great payout. I kept some of my favorite pieces and he suggested what to do with pieces he thought I could do better on by selling online. His open and honest manner of business will bring me back.

Went to west town jewelry after looking at lots of different sites and reviews. Was met by Gabe the owner and he brought me to the back and went through all my coins and a few pieces of jewelry i had to sell. Explained what everything was and its worth. Made me an offer that was more than i expected, the whole experience was great and quick. Also brought my watch collection in and he installed batteries. Very professional, as well as friendly. Highly recommend West town jewelry for all your jewelry, watch, pawn or selling needs. Would give 6 stars if i could. Ask for Gabe , for honest, friendly service.

These guys were super friendly and knowledgeable! They appraised my jewelry right in front of me and transparently explained what I had and its value. I had one ring that they couldn’t give me a lot for, so they told me how and where I could sell it online myself to get my money’s worth. Definitely recommend!

So i live in the south burbs, I did some checking and this place had 5 star review after review. Everyone said that Gabe and Mike were pleasant to work with, so I decided to go and check it out. The reviews are true. Gabe and Mike were very transparent about the whole process, explained the prices of what everything was priced at. So if you live in the south burbs, north burbs, west burbs. Its well worth the drive to come here, youll be treated with respect and you will get the best service and prices for your coins and jewelry.

Today I visited the store for the first time and it made a very positive impression on me. Gabe, the owner, was transparent, professional and very friendly. He generously shared his evaluating process. It was a fair smooth transaction and his offer surpassed what I had been offered in two other locations. I highly recommend the store!

I was looking for a buy and sell Jewelry store as I didnt have good experiences of other places in Chicago, so when I read all the great reviews, I just had to check this place out. I called and spoke to Gabe (the owner) and indicated that I had some misc gold jewelry, old watches, and other oddities that I was looking to sell that if he bought any of these items. He told me to bring them in and he would give me a fair evaluation of my items. To make a long story semi-short, a family member and I checked out his store about an hour after I called. Its no lie, this man is a great. He is very down to earth and explains the worth of your items and the techniques he uses to give you the best value for your items. It was quiet when we first arrived, and soon after customers started coming in and it got really busy. Since we were not in a hurry and had several items for him to review, he attended to his other customers first then came back to us very quickly. He was very thorough in checking the items and told us what each item was worth. He also gave us some really good tips that others in this business dont do at all. I was able to sell my gold jewelry at a great price and received more than what I was expecting. He made our experience so pleasant, that we are going to dig for more items to go back and support his business. Thanks Gabe!!

I never post anything, but had to share my experience. The shop owner Gabe was a real expert and he educated me in regards to how and what the prices are. I read all of his 5 star reviews on yelp and google and they are true. I sold him all of our families estate jewelry and all of our family coin collection. I was really impressed with Gabe’s knowledge and fairness. He took his time and went piece by piece. When I came in the store it was clean and was greeted with a smile and enthusiasm, unlike the last place I went to. I felt comfortable and almost a sense of friendship at my visit. Gabe then had a bunch of customers come in and they knew him by name and all said how much of a great guy he is. That helped me make my decision and sell everything as well as the great cash price I received. Can’t wait to tell everyone about you. Keep up the great work!

Didnt end up buying or selling anything but that happens. I was skeptical of all the good reviews since sometimes its fake. True to his reputation he was very helpful and very transparent in all he did. He doesnt buy the stuff I was trying to sell but spent lots of his time helping us and giving phone numbers and names of who to call. Great Guy!!!

Based on the great reviews I read on google and yelp I decided to go to west town jewelry. The owner Gabe greeted me with a smile and was very happy, inviting and enthusiastic. I did my research so I knew what Was going on and I knew all about the gold market as I am investing personally. Gabe really showed me that he is an expert in his field. He showed me the exact market price of gold and even showed me what he gets for it. By the way it is what I thought it should be. He has an ex ray machine that is very cool. The machine shows you the exact carat and also shows silver and anything else the jewelry is made of. He then shows me the scale. I have read of businesses not showing you the scale. He added everything up and then checked out my diamonds. I had a lot of jewelry that I sold him. I am not a person that usually like going into shops to sell items, but it was an amazing pressure free experience. I truly felt like I’ve known him for years. Great business, great customer service and great location. I will be back with my aunt next week.

I came to west town because of the great reviews. The owner Gabe treats his customers like family and makes you feel happy and pressure free. The store also looked amazing, inviting and very warm inside. Gabe explained and really educated me about jewelry appraisals. I ended up selling my jewelry for a great cash price!! I like his approach and how he takes his time to explain why a piece of jewelry is worth what it is and not just throw prices out at you. I will definitely be back to pick his brain about coins. Gabe is a real expert and collector. I already told my neighbors To come to your store. Thanks again!!

Just came in for the second time, and for the second time I’m leaving very satisfied. As a college student, Ive been worried about getting stiffed, but they walk you through their entire process and make sure you understand the logic behind any offers they give you. This is the only place to go for selling jewelry and gold.

This place is the BEST!!! Im a college student and have a lot to pay for on my own, therefore decided to come here to pawn a ring I owned to make a few ends meet. They were very down to earth, understanding, and treated me as an individual rather than another customer. They are honest, yet willing to work with you. Im very happy that I came here. They also have such a beautiful selection of jewelry with great prices! Highly recommend.

Review №27

The reviews are correct! I did my research on all pricing of my Rolex, antique sterling flatware set and old jewelry. On my way I stopped at a estate buying store to see what they would appraise my items at. The price was fair, but not what I wanted. I went to West Town Jewelry this Saturday to see what price they were willing to pay. When I arrived I was greeted by Gabe the owner in this beautiful store. The store has nice Jewelry and a wonderful winding staircase. Gabe greeted me with a smile and was very enthusiastic and excited to appraise my items. He was very low pressure and explained everything in great detail. Gabe himself is a Rolex collector and fan. He gave me the the prices he was willing to pay. I was extremely happy because besides getting an education on Rolex watches, he gave me more money than I had in mind. Gabe was very professional and made the whole process easy and stress free. Gabe even gave me a referral of an art dealer and told me to deal directly with them. West Town Jewelry is definitely the go to place to sell your valuables. Thanks Gabe!

Oh my goodness, this is the place to go if you have coins to sell! From the instant you meet the owner, Gabe, the experience of selling your items is completely positive. Gabe is knowledgeable and beyond fair. In addition to his patience with evaluating my collection, I observed Gabe helping a young couple with a jewelry question. As a result, I would not hesitate to recommend Gabe for jewelry needs as well.It can be daunting when you are trying to find a reputable dealer, look no further than West Town Jewelry & Loan. The absolute best!

The place is in a great location. Gabe is a very polite and the customer service was great.I went by to sell gold and Gabe asked me if I knew the Karat of my gold and I didnt know. He tested it in front of me and said it was 14K. I ended up going somewhere else to have a second opinion. The second place tested the gold in front of me and said it was 18k. They used a machine to test and after the machine they did the same method that Gabe used with consists in scratching the gold and using some drops to check the purity.Be aware if you are interested in selling gold everybody can make mistakes, hopefully this was the case. Besides that the place seems to be a good!----------------------------Now you are making a real mistake. First my intention was never to hurt your business. Im just writing this review because I think its important to help customers and also the places, so they know how they can improve their business. I was being 100% honest. I also said you could had made a mistake.Second, Ive NEVER sold you anything. Also, the second place I went paid almost twice the price you offered to me.

Review №32

Great experience! I brought a few pieces of old jewelry that I don’t wear anymore to West Town Jewelry and Loan to sell after reading the good reviews. Gabe was incredibly friendly and helpful, and walked me through all of the steps of evaluating and pricing the items with total transparency. The prices were fair and based on the up-to-the minute market value of the metals, and I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome of the transaction. Additionally, Gabe generously took the time to appraise a set of antique silverware so that I could put it up on eBay, and wrote out a sample template of the way that he would approach posting the listing. Gabe is super professional, is really contentious about establishing trust in the transaction, and I would certainly do business with him in the future.

I am one of those people who does a lot of research when buying anything (I do admit Im really picky.) In this case, I did just as much research before deciding on where to take some of my old jewelry, and I am extremely glad I went to West Town Jewelry & Loan.The phenomenal reviews are spot on; Gabe is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and explained every detail I needed to know (cost of gold and silver, the way it is tested to see if the material is real and what carat weight it is.)If you are like me, and hesitant as to where you should take jewelry items to sell, go and see Gabe because you will be really glad you did. Oh, I must also mention that the amount Gabe provided for my jewelry was awesome. Im going to look around and see what other items I want to sell and then Im heading straight back to West Town! Thank you so much, Gabe!

Carla and Gabe were fantastic to work with. I needed a Crucifix for my daughters Confirmation that was different.

This place is 1st CLASS! The fantastic owner Gabe greets you for the first time as though he has known you for years. My transaction with Gabe was comfortable, educational and financially rewarding. Gabe is genuine and in todays hustle and bustle he gives you time and important information regarding your transaction. Priceless! His merchandise is breathtaking and he also designs custom jewelery. I look forward to working with him in the near future on some great designs.

I just want to start off by saying what a wonderful experience I had when shopping with Gabe at West Town Jewelry and Loan. He had a wide variety of exceptional pieces of fine jewelry for me to choose from. When I received the piece, it was delivered in pristine condition. Gabe, being a small business owner, provided outstanding customer service and was a pleasure to work with. Bar none, he exceeded all of my expectations. Thanks Gabe! Cant wait to come back.

I know the owner, Gabe and he helps me out with all of my coin and jewelry needs. If he can’t help for some reason he will tell me places to go that can better help me or to look it up on eBay and put it there. He does this because he wants me to get the best prices and or help me learn more about my coins. Over all this is an amazing store. It’s like a really fancy pawn shop with great service. Gabe is the only worker There.Amazing job⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I came to west town jewelry this Saturday based on all the terrific google and yelp reviews. I wanted to see for myself if it was true or not. I had my mother’s sterling silver flatware and tableware and also a lot of my families old jewelry. I came in to the store that was really nice and clean and waited as there was a person that was a regular customer in front of me. I sat down in this comfortable leather chair and listened. Gabe as on a first name basis with this regular customer and they were done with the transaction and talking about their kids. I really like what I heard because it was like a real family operated shop that paid attention to detail and remembered names. Gabe explained everything up front and put me at ease. He explained value and how he was paid. He has been in this business for over 20 years and as I could tell was a real expert. I stayed for over an hour! The man educated me on current market conditions and also told me what my items were worth. He was upfront, not fake and was honest. I ended up selling all of my items. I will definitely be back! He paid me very close for my jewelry, but the reason for this review is because of he unbeatable customer service and expertise. I wish there was ore businesses like this.

This was my first time visiting a buy/ resale shop. Mike was very nice and professional. He made me feel at ease. He spoke to me throughout the process letting me know what he was doing and why. From what he explained to me I feel that I was treated fairly and respectfully. There was only one thing that was probably my fault. I asked about the stones in one of the rings, but I got caught up in the conversation that I forgot to ask about the stones in the other ring. Just make sure you stay on course when you are conducting business. I would recommend this shop to anyone.

I have visited a few jewelry and loan places in the past and have left dissatisfied. I decided to check this place out when I ran a Google search. As soon as I walked in the door, I was greeted with a warm welcome. The staff is very courteous and knowledgeable when it comes to their inventory. Gabe and Carla are the most sincere and honest individuals you will ever meet. They will not scam you like most places do. They are the definition of customer service. I will most definitely return and I highly recommend this place to anyone.Did I mention that this business is family-owned? Most people tend to overlook small businesses and forget about the amount of time and effort put in to make ones experience worthwhile. Support small businesses!!

Review №57

I couldnt be happier with this place, and will definitely be returning here in the future! 28 years ago my mom lost the marquis diamond out of her engagement ring while cleaning the house. She was devastated! She has always wanted to get a replacement diamond for it, but with 3 daughters in private school, the price was never right and eventually it just became a dream to get it taken care of. She recently expressed to me that its still something she would like to do, so I thought we should look into it. I heard good things about west town jewelry, so I thought Id start there and Im so glad I did! Gabe, the owner of this place, was so helpful and knowledgeable and ended up finding an excellent quality diamond to go in my moms ring! The clarity was impeccable and the price he quoted was extremely reasonable. My mom was thrilled that she may actually finally have her ring taken care of! She decided she wanted to adjoin her wedding band and engagement rings as well as get both of them stretched. There was also a small diamond missing from her wedding band which she wanted a replacement for. Gabe said this was no problem at all, so we brought him her bands, sized her finger and he handled the rest! The turnaround time for all of this happening was very quick too and Gabe was very attentive to her situation and made sure he handled her rings with care and that she had them back as soon as possible. When we got them back they looked brand new, as he cleaned them really well for her too! After 40 years of marriage her wedding band was looking rough and kind of tarnished, but its back to its original glory! I should also mention that my mom is disabled and in a wheelchair and it was not an issue for her to get in and out of this building. I would highly recommend this place to anyone for their jewelry needs.

If ever you need a reliable and honest place to go pawn your valuables I definitely say come here. Walked in and the 1st thing I noticed was how clean and neat the place was. Met Gabe the owner and he was very professional and nice. I had other experiences at pawnshops that were not as welcoming as he was. It was hard to part ways with my chain and pendant and he gave me a very generous deal on it. Very understanding and honest about my pieces and situation. If your tired of looking around for pawnshops or jewelry spots definitely come here you wont be disappointed. Thanks Gabe appreciate your business.

I shopped all over the place to get the best price on my jewelry. I checked out west town jewelry & loan and went there because of all the great reviews. The reviews were true!! Gabe the owner of west town appraised each item using the latest in professional tools and technology. He was able to pay me based on my items and not just for scrap gold. I will always go back and everyone should make this their go to place. Gabe was honest and made me feel comfortable. I definitely got that small family run business feel that you don’t get anymore.

Gabe is the man. I bought a fake watch and he checked it out and even wrote an appraisal stating it was fake so that I could get my money back.

I cant believe how much money I received for my gold and silver jewelry! I had small diamonds in my earrings and and pendant charm that the the owner paid for. I did my research and went to TWO other locations. One of the locations that I went to said that they dont pay for small diamonds! Gabe made the transaction painless and stress free. He put me at ease and he said that he would be appraising my items, and that there is never any pressure at his store. He was very welcoming and I would recommend West Town Jewelry & Loan to anyone who would want the most for their valuables!!!

West Town Jewelry & Loan is by far my first and only stop when buying or selling jewelry. Gabe and the staff are extremely knowledgeable and fair and truly make customer service and satisfaction their primary goal. Gabe is honest and is always willing to work with me and my family. I know I can put my trust in West Town Jewelry & Loan.

I live in the neighborhood and needed a few watch batteries changed. After calling to confirm that they replace watch batteries, I stopped into the store and was pleasantly greeted by Gabe. The turnaround time was incredibly quick and Gabe was incredibly welcoming as I entered the store. I will be back in the future anytime I need a watch battery changed.

Great experience with owner Gabe. I was helping a friend to sell items from an estate and went to another place first, which quoted me significantly less. Gabe showed me everything he did (weighing, scanning) and calculated the amount he would pay based on the current market.

I learned of West Town Jewelry from a friend so I decided to stop in to see what they were all about. The people here were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I am not a jewelry expert, but they made me feel comfortable and took the time to talk to me rather than Sell me. The selection was better than any other place I had been.

Outstanding staff, beyond knowledgeable and generous. I was behind on bills so I brought in almost all my jewelry. They offered me top dollar which was amazing cause I didnt have to sell all my stuff!!! Real people who understand.

I had a bunch of gold and platinum jewelry that had been in my family for years. I went to West Town Jewelry and they paid me 25% more for my stuff than a reputable place I always went to. In my opinion if you want to get the most for your valuables go see Gabe at West Town Jewelry. Hes very knowledgeable and your treated like a friend.

Came in wanting to sell my mothers watch. Gabe took his time to explain my options and ultimately recommended Id sell the watch on Ebay as Id get more for it. He even took 30 minutes to explain the Ebay protocol, measure the band length and provide certain details of the watch I wouldnt have been able to come up with myself. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fair transaction.

Was there a little over a week ago, it was my first time selling anything at a pawn shop, so naturally I was a bit nervous, the owner Gabe was AMAZING, he explained to me the whole process, patiently took the time to show me how he arrives at the price he offers for every single item I brought it, & I think what struck me the most was his honesty, I brought in a Pandora necklace, that he suggested I hold on to, he even suggested I try selling it on ebay, because I’d get more money for it on there. I will most definitely be returning!!
