Reviews of Howard Jewelry & Loan

Joshua Cubacub

Fantastic jewelry repair service! The owner Tony and his son David run an honest family business. Tony did a great job fixing and resizing my wife's engagement ring after it got bent out of shape. The pricing was very reasonable but what was really impressive was the quick turnaround. They estimated it would take a week (in time for our anniversary) but actually got it done the same day. How's that for service! Thank you very much!

Stephany Dawidiuk

I needed to my opal transferred to a different setting, and I’m so happy with how it turned out! The setting wasn’t really meant for that type of stone, but they were able to make it work and did such a great job. Excellent customer service and a quick turnaround time, highly recommend!

Angie Moore

This is 1 of the most easy and understanding pawnshops I’ve ever been to. They helped me and understood that was going through financial hardship and held my laptop before just trying to take it. I recommend everyone that’s looking for a quick loan to definitely go to Howard Jewelry and Loan. Great People!!!!

Kasino Flex

Had a custom diamond initial pendant made by Tony. Great work... reasonable price!!! Highly Recommended

A Anderson

Sold my Epiphone Firebird to David and could not have asked for a more fair, thorough, and wonderful process. Knew what he was looking at and was upfront about everything beginning to end — no lowballs or shenanigans ! Will definitely be back as they do good family-run business and have an excellent inventory of marvels.

Dominique Moore

I went there yesterday for gifts. I was looking for a watch and left buying more. The items are so well cared for. The owner mike is amazingly helpful and nice 👍 I definitely will recommend it if you want to get a great gift for someone😃 …

Money Mike

This is absolutely the Best place to sell any of your jewelry you don’t use anymore or just want to upgrade as they give the best deals around! I have been everywhere and I never had a better experience. Nor did anyone give me close to what they did. The staff is super knowledgeable in everything and very helpful. The store looks amazing and they have virtually everything you could possibly need. Love having them in the neighborhood. Great Job guys Thank You so much!!!!

Vanessa Rico

On a very cold Chicago day, I decided to step into this shop to sell some jewelry I no longer used. After reading the reviews myself, I wanted to see if their service was as great as people had described. I stepped in there and I was taken back by how organized the shop was, how clean it was, and how attentive the VERY good looking, young, gentleman was with me. My whole life changed after stepping into that shop. Will definitely recommend it to other people!! ♥️♥️♥️

Paradise Neals

A family oriented pawn shop, and they take care of there customers all the time ♥️

J Villalba

I have been going to this pawnshop for years and have nothing but great things to say about my experiences here dealing with them. They always treat you with respect. They have always been fair and honest with me when it comes to pawning or selling. I always recommend this pawnshop to my friends and family. I definitely will continue to give you my business!

Kimberly Rose

Two years after my divorce I was finally ready to sell my wedding ring. I went to 6 different places and this shop gave the best price. Well above the competition. They even took the time to explain how they arrived at the price. Very fair. I will definitely return if I decide to sell another piece.

Brian Russell

Always a very good experience and the owners are always understanding and very helpful. Have to go there this morning as I got robbed on the CTA red line last night and I know they will be willing to help as usual.

Anthony

Great jewelry selection. I was able to find a nice Tissot watch for Fathers Day! They have so many electronics, quality antiques and various musical instruments / equipment. Staff was friendly as well. Will definitely be back to sell a couple of my old watches!!! Thanks Richard.

Katie Matthies

They are wonderful to work with! Their prices are fair and they have the best quality merchandise. Their jewelry selection is beautiful and they always have a huge selection of new products. The store is organized and the staff is friendly and helpful. I have shopped around and trust me, they are the best to deal with! Very highly recommended.

julia oliva

I love personalized rare pieces and when I came to this store I was glorified at all the beautiful pieces. The service was exceptional. I have been looking for a snowflake yellow gold necklace for over a 2 years now when I asked him and explained to him exactly what I was looking for, I came back in 2 weeks later to pick it up and it was perfect. Everything I imagined it would be I'm overall very pleased with Howard Jewelry and Loan and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for jewelry or a small loan.

Isaac Hall

I've started emptying my closets, and realized I could potentially sell some things here. For the first time, I sold some unused jewelry. The second time, I sold additional jewelry as well as a camera. Overall, I found the experience very pleasant and satisfying. The staff I encountered were always friendly and informative of their prices. If I find more things to get rid of with the instilled powers of Marie Kondo, I'd consider stopping by again. Their prices are competitive when compared to other similar establishments. PS - You can go to sleep now. Thanks for your assistance during my visits.

Jose Mejias

Excellent. They are complete professionals. I was treated very well when I visited recently. They have the best prices around. The tall guy really knows his stuff. I will definitely return to do more business with them!

Pierre Desrosiers

Great place to shop. Very clean and presentable. Lots of nice Jewelry for great prices. They also pay very fairly when it comes to selling stuff Cesar and Richard are great and always do their best to satisfy me. Highly recommended!!

Masiel Rodriguez

I always experience wonderful service from everyone here. They take care of me and are fair. This is what keeps me coming back as a loyal customer. Side note: the owner makes amazing jewelry pieces right in the shop. This place is a Howard St gem.

Marina Bassett

The guys here are honest, fair and their products are great. I have both bought and sold here and I have never left unhappy. I always feel like I got a fair deal and polite treatment. Go check them them out, they are unique in the pawnshop world!

Jennifer Peterson

This the best pawn Shop I every been to. They give me exactly what I ask for anytime I come in to pawn something such as my necklace, laptop,etc... not to mention they give u plenty of time to pick up ur thing. They don’t rush n put your thing out to sale. Just communicate with them n your thing will be kept put up until u come get it. Thank you all so much I truly appreciate you all service!!!!!

Victoria Smith

Excellent kind and caring people. I purchased items from them - one at $300 and the other at $700. These items two years later appraised at 4600 and 6700 respectively. I was just floored that they offered me such an excellent deal. They are always so kind and respectful whether I am pawning items or purchasing. Thanks for your kindness!!!!

Thaddeus James

I really had to take the time out to show appreciation for excellent service. This is the most customer friendly place I have been to in chicago . The quality and price to value is owsome. The staff takes time with you and go through your needs the qaulity of there goods are excellent. They take time off in ensure that the quality is at its best. I am a small cobtractor and that's basically whrew I buy all my tools and never once did I have to return anything faulty . I can consider them an asset to my progress here in Chicago. They are always Wheeling to work you you and we both compromise . This business is surely adding value to Roger's Park and definitely meeting my needs. I recommend that anyone looking for quality stuff at the best price should consider going there first #hands downyou will be satisfied.

Garrett Weight

Courteous, fair and honest, Howard Jewelery and Loan gives Pawn shops a good name. The prices were fair and they were willing to negotiate within reason. Even when I pushed for prices they treated me with respect and patience. A well picked selection of items mixed with the friendly and helpful staff make Howard Jewelery and Loan a great choice for second hand market shopping.

J Con

Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Prices are great, it's very refreshing to have a no nonsense approach to jewelry shopping. I bought an absolutely stunning piece here and would recommend anyone do the same.

JoAnn H

Howard Jewelry & Loan is truly one of a kind. They are very friendly, down to earth, and great to do business with. They have by far the largest selection of merchandise I have ever seen. A clean and very organized store. There prices are excellent. But most importantly I find them to be very honest and a place where I can trust the people who work there. Have fun doing business with them and enjoy! JoAnn

Lilly

Absolutely love this place. The owner and staff are wonderful. Nothing but the best service ever! Had everything you could want in the store. Will be coming back very soon! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality pieces at the best price!

Shaune George

I have never had a good experience with Pawn Shops nd my general overview has always been negative...until I went to Howard Jewelry and Loan. The staff are always courteous and Richard has proved time and time again that his value system and integrity are intact and he always goes above and beyond to help customers. This pawn shop has extensive knowledge of goods and is the only place that offered a fair and reasonable amount when I took items there. As far as I am concerned Chicago only has one pawn brokerage company and that's Howard Jewelry and Loan and I will continue to use them and refer my friends to them.

Carl Witherspoon

Had to bring in my guitar and guitar processor for pawn and these guys helped me out. Clean store, and my gear was well taken care of when i returned for it. Havent been to any other pawn shops in Chicago but these guys are worth your travel, no complaints.

John S

They give you the best price out of anyone around. Great experience! Staff is very friendly, accommodating and open-minded. None of that shady feeling like they're trying to get one over on you. They are upfront and honest. What a relief. Don't waste your time at other places, just come here first.

V Contreras

Howard Jewelry is a great place to find ANYTHING you're looking for. Specifically we have purchased so many diamonds-rings, necklaces, watches etc...if you're looking for a good deal, this is the place! Everything appraises for double or more of your purchase price. I strongly recommend checking out this amazing place!

Daniel Cioaca

Howard jewelry and loan is a great place to be at, whether you're selling or buying items. You will always feel at ease with Richard and his staff's friendly attitude. I had a wonderful experience at his store and will definitely come back for more.

Garfield Campbell

This place is great! A lot of nice jewelry. They have more of a selection here than 10 pawnshops put together. They know their stuff and they treat me respect. Awesome

Will4120

I have been going to Howard Jewelry and loan for some time now, they are very reasonable, and customer service is always excellent. I have always left there a satisfied customer. They have many items in stock not just jewelry.

Nicole Williams

JB Bartlett

Jake Diedrich

Found a really nice guitar for a great price. They even threw in a quality hard shell case for free. Happy with my experience shopping here!

Davon Coleman

This is a great place to inquire about appraisal's for your valuables, pawning your goods for a short term loan to help you make ends meet when you are short on funds. The manager is very down to earth and is always willing to help customers in need. The staff is also very friendly and knowledgable when it comes to pricing and merchandise information. You can purchase jewelery, electronics (flat screen TV's, laptops, gaming systems & games, musical instruments, movies/DVD's, antuiqas, and other novalties). Be sure to stop in and meet the team and also to shop the vast aray of merchandise. I have done business with HJ&L for more than 5 years now and I will continue to do business with this establishment because they always do good business and the service is 5 🌟.

alex marshal

Well my 25th year anniversary came up and I needed a special gift for my wife. Thank God I walked into Howard Jewelry and Loans. At first I thought pawn shops are just for pawning items, but was I pleasantly surprised. The selection of earrings, necklaces rings and bracelets and other precious stones is astronomical. And best of all the price that you just can't beat. My wife loved her beautiful Emerald platinum Earrings. All thanks to Howard Jewelry and Loans.

Blacker The Berry

These are the most kind and professional pawn shop owners I have ever met! Their prices are good and they are honest people Won't take my business anywhere else but here.

Melissa Lopez

These guys rock! Not only do they a workable interest rate- theyre both knowledgeable, & super sympathetic! After i foolishly took my mothers antique ring n2 CASH AMERICA- the kid put a solution on it removing the white gold! I was crushed! I ruined the only think i had left of my mom! I took the ring back 2 Howard where they agreed 2 replate Cash Americas mistake! Plus.... These guys are super cool. Id recommend anyone who either wants 2 sell or even buy (great jewely selection) to check these guys out!

Veronica Perkins

I went in today and got top dollar for two gold pendants I found in my drawer as I was moving. I was SHOCKED at how much I was given. Shocked. I seriously expected a third of what I got after selling down the street years ago. Thanks for taking me minutes before closing and making me feel like I got a great deal. I'll be back!

Lohlee Pop
