I went to Gem to sell some silver and really know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. With friendly and professional help by Elias, I found I was comfortable with the experience. He explained everything to me as we went along and I was pleased with the price I got. I highly recommend Gem and would most certainly go back.
So I came here today to sell a few pieces of my jewelry and worked with Judy who was honest and amazing. I was also super excited that I was giving 25% more then what other Jewelers would have given me. I would totally recommend them and I will definitely be returning to sell a few more pieces of my jewelry. Thank you so much it was a pleasure doing business with you today! They have also been in business for a long time so not only are they reputable but honest with you and I totally appreciated that as well. Definitely go to them you wont be disappointed
My name is Anna Hadjikostantis. I have been a GEM costumer for a long time.I always got great customer service from Judy. She is always very helpful. She explains to me different options to use. I always feel very comfortable with Judy. Judy was and is a very genuine person. I had mentioned to her I might have breast cancer. She stopped the transaction she was doing and said to me God will always be there for you and not to be afraidGoing to a pawn shop is not the greatest thing to do, with Judy though being an excellent agent it make the experience an easy process. Thank you so much Judy. I look forward to doing more business with you.GEM is extremely lucky to have you.
Just had an amazing experience at Gem Pawnbrokers on Steinway St. in Astoria. Judy was AMAZING! She helped me sell my piece of jewelry with ease. She was also very informative and made the entire process so easy! I will definitely be coming back to this location going forward just to work with her.
Pawning stuff is always a difficult choice to make and a possible heart wrenching event. Gem makes it easy. I received multiple text, email and call to keep me updated on the progress. And I cant say enough about Judy... the angel behind the glass. Professional, knowledgeable and caring. THANKS Gem and Judy.
Great experience at Gem on Steinway. I highly recommend. Judy was able to go through the items I brought in and tell me what was gold and diamonds - I had several items from family members and I wasn’t sure exactly which metals/stones they were. She offered me a very fair price and I’m glad that I came here! I went off of the other reviews and I’m glad that I considered that when choosing where to go.
Judy at Gem is awesome. I was helped by her, but also Vicki and Jonelle, all of whom were polite and efficient. I much appreciated the fact that they got my deal done with minimal stress. Judy made me feel much better on a day that was not great otherwise.The practical things are also in order. The store is clean, and the location very accessible, and ideal for me, as I live down the street.Thank you to Gem!
I had a terrific experience with Judy & Jonelle were so sweet and they both worked with me to get the max amount on my loan and also helped me out when I needed an extension on my loan. Seriously amazing people with big hearts can t stress it enough! Highly recommend them and this place.
Kalesha was such a big help when trying to sell two rings I was trying to get rid of. She was so professional, friendly and although I was expecting a little more money in return, she did the best she could to meet my needs. I would definitely come next time and definitely recommend this place.
I went here on a Wednesday and it just so happened that the district manager Miguel was there. He was really pleasant to talk to while he processed my transactions (I brought in several jewelry pieces). He answered all my questions about the process and worked really fast. I was pretty satisfied with the amount of money I got back and I would definitely recommend going here!
I never had to Pawn or sell anything in my life. Being nervous i called first and spoke to a very nice lady named Judy. She was very polite & made me feel comfortable with coming in. When arriving at GEM i was greeted with friendly & polite service. I was able to handle my transaction in a timely manner & I am extremely satisfied with the service i received. I will definitely recommend this place to friends & family.
Can’t say enough about Judy. Such a pleasure. She has been so helpful and accommodating with me. All my transacations here have been hassle-free. And they give you a good deal on your goods. Definitely see myself coming back in the future and definitely recommend GEM Brokers.
Im not surprised to be reading all of these great reviews about Judy. Im glad that im able to add to them. My personal laptop suddenly stopped working so I stopped into Gem in a hurry to purchase a new macbook. She was extremely nice and helpful. Although I was in a such a hurry to purchase and use my laptop for work, she was extreeeemly nice and patient.She helped to make sure i was getting everything that I wanted in a Macbook. I may consider purchasing another from this location! Thanks again Judy!
My first time selling jewelery - this was one of the four places and an online quote I went to. Judy, the manager was plesant, she explained things, she gave me good advice, there was no pressure. She also gave me the best price which was close to the online offer.I would 100% go back and talk to her. She made a pleasant experiece out of what was a little ...well - odd.
This location and the employees Ive personally encountered are the definition of Gems. Most notable is Judy who goes above and beyond in explaining how the process works, is thoroughly straight to the point and always gives the fairest prices. 5 well deserved stars for 5 star service!
The First Lady who helped me was very rude and had a horrible attitude. I didn’t understand how pawning and selling worked exactly and she wouldn’t answer my questions. However the second lady who helped me when the first one had to “take a call” she was so nice and helpful hence the saved 3 star rating. I wouldn’t come back again if the service is usually like my first encounter.
Came into gem pawnbrokers and Judy was the agent to help me, she was sooo great with helping me in my situation i will definitely continue to do business with her at this location and send everyone i know who is seeking a good pawn shop to come definitely am happy with the service recieved today
Ive been going here for years including when they moved. Judy Rivas is honest and fair in making you loans been to other pawn brokers and unfortunately have lost a few pieces of jewlery Judy works with you and informs you when you might lose your jewlery I love that.
I would like to say the customer service at Gem Pawnbrokers is amazing it’s a very comfortable loving vibe it’s my second time doing business here and It will not be my lost I would also like to thank Ms. Judy Rives the branch manager for providing such a great service. Highly recommended
Carmen Molina was very nice with me and very helpful I really liked the service in this store , thank you , and the ça hier Judi Rivas ,was very respectful and has a very good Costner service , thank you ladies for your help your made my day , keep doing your job the same way , keep your beautiful smiles
I got racially profiled here. I understand that not every person is honest, but you cant just tell some those are not yours. I feel sad because what she was saying wasnt true, I sincerely OWN the item I was simply trying to get a quote on and frankly I do not have to answer your inappropriate and intrusive questions. Just because you are latina and choose to follow a gender stereotype. You work in a shop in Astoria (a gayborhood). Of course I wear men and female shoes. Honestly she was probably jealous because she cant afford them. Goodness. I sincerely left there feeling bad for something that I shouldnt have. I went to EZPawn and they were so nice, and actually did their job. Why would I give you my state photo ID for your records if I was trying to pawn something that wasnt mine (where does that make sense). Just because someone doesnt look like what YOU expect them to look like doesnt mean that they MUST be up to something. Whatever, NEVER going back here or sending anyone.
Just want to ensure that Mr. FRANCISCO Y., whom i had the pleasure of meeting at the Steinway location on Wednesday, May 29, 2019. The sevice he provided me was impeccable and friendly. I definitely felt that he had my best interest in mind when working to get me the nest best deal possible. My entore experience was made exceptional by Francisco and i plan on returning to GEM whenever necessary simply because of the sevice he was able to provide me.
Well I was searching online for a computer/ electronics store that would buy used electronic gear. I so happen to come across this location for the Astoria/ Woodside area and was relieved by the level of convenience by the expertise of the merchant, Francisco. Would recommend for anyone looking to pawn off good electronic gear, or to also purchase useful tech.

2022-08-08I had a great experience at GEM pawnbrokers. I brought in my lightly used guitar and received a great deal for it. The store is clean and staff very professional. I’d highly recommend GEM to anyone looking to sells items, jewelry or electronics. I will be back when I need to sell something else.

2022-08-20HORRIBLE!!Have been a avid customer for years and on numerous occasions have has issue. I recommend going to steinway store or working with Judy in Brooklyn. The harlem store unfortunately youre just going to have problems (and remember they have your items). Horrible service, very unprofessional . You can get more money for your items at other locations and you get your items back, looking like they were all stuffed in a bin together . Beware of location!!

2022-02-22I can’t say enough about the excellent service that JUDY provided when I went to her shop. I also learned that I had been ripped off at other places I had been to. She was so kind and patient and explained several things I had never known before. I received a great deal on my pieces of jewelry and I would recommend this place of business to anyone who is looking for an honest person. I certainly will return again as I totally trust JUDY. In closing all I could say is thank you thank you thank you. I just wish there were more stars I would give you 10.

2021-12-29This is the second time I’ve worked with Judy, and I cannot express how appreciative I am to have had her on the other side of the counter. She brought an ease of spirit to an interaction that was stressful for me. Her wonderful nature and positive attitude are such a gift.
