Hallock Jewelry Pawn

Holy moley! These guys are freaking awesome!
Friendly,
Fast
Knowledgeable
And…
FAIR!

Oh, Unilocal.Why do I not recognize planted 5 star reviews when I see them?
Two stars only for the one gentleman who was polite, kind and didn’t make a valiant attempt to make me look incredibly stupid.
The «gem testing machine», which was beat to hell and looked rather well used (if by well used one means thrown against the wall multiple times), decided my diamond ring wasn’t real. The woman working started pleasant enough, but quickly turned into less than polite after the 2^nd guy repeated on numerous occasions «I only trust my machine».

To wit:
*The other gentleman was pretty clear that by sight he definitely hadn’t doubt that they were diamonds.
*This ring has been looked at THREE TIMES in the last two days. See, I’m in no rush to sell the ring (nor the others I have), so I have been taking it to other locations for valuation. This is the first Pawn «establishment» I have been into. The other three were reputable jewelry stores specializing in estate and vintage jewelry, of which all three of my pieces are. EVERY SINGLE ONE verified these as diamonds, and gave me the carat, cut, and clarity… along with the gold DWT.
*I could have busted out the paperwork from these stores as they were stuffed in a pocket of my purse, but I was so disgusted by this man’s insistence that I was trying to defraud him AND his unbelievably rude and condescending behavior (in front of 2 other customers, mind you… oh and lady who was browsing, that cheap costume piece he was telling you was 18k? You deserve a pat on the head and an «ohhhh honey» if you believed that), all I wanted to do was to get out of there before I said something to match his discourteous words and snotty tone. He had the unmitigated nerve to, when I said playfully that my Grammy didn’t buy *anything* fake, snarkily say while pulling a face that «sure, I bet your Grandma just didn’t know».
My Grandmother had more class and kindness in her toenail than you’ve apparently accrued in a lifetime. She also didn’t buy cheap crap because she saved a long time to buy nice pieces. How dare you? I feel badly for people using your business who really need the money and will let you walk all over them. And seriously, would it hurt to organize and clean that place? Jesus, I think I got Hep A through C just being in there for 5 minutes.
Sorry, Hallock. Fix your machine. Change your attitude. Karma is a bitch, but word of mouth can kick Karma’s ass.

This is a great place! They are extremely friendly and knowledgeable folks. As for what brought me into the store: I acquired a diamond engagement ring from a source I didn’t fully trust. I brought it into Hallock Jewelry to see if they could tell me if it was a real diamond and 18k white gold (as I was told). They were able to verify everything very quickly and free of charge (even though I offered to pay them for their time). After that, we had a nice conversation about gold, jewelry and prospecting. These guys know what they are talking about… and you might learn a thing or two if you go in there! Highly recommend.

Small little shop. Guys are very friendly. Only sell jewelry though. Their prices seemed very reasonable as well, lower than I expected coming in.

Super friendly staff. Small, kinda junky looking but dont that fool you. They just need a good maid. lol. Seriously they are fair and honest. I came here after Brookhurst Pawn turned me down. Here they were happy to help. Would definately return.

Just great deals! I started buying silver and gold in various forms, (coins, jewelry parts and chains), here in the 1970’s they were always straight forward and honest. More recently I have sold surplus gold and silver to Hallock as well. I am confident they are the most fair in Gold and Silver buying, and in fact I sell them my unneeded platinum as well. Other Gold buying companies seem to make mistakes or far worse!, but these guys really know the business! Buy or sell your precious metals here with confidence! –Glenn
