About

About the Owner:With a family in the jewelry business
spanning 4 plus generations (over 80 years), including close family
connections in Los Angeles, Texas, Israel, South Africa, Argentina,
and all throughout the US East Coast, there is never a shortage of
things to LEARN and merchandise to inspect, appraise, sell and loan
against. |

Nino(President of the business)broke
into the jewelry business in the mid 1980's in Manhattan's Diamond
district working for a refinery, a gold buying store and finally selling
his own wares. After taking his expertise from the wholesale/retail
to the business of loaning against gemological collateral, Nino's
US Pawnbroker, Inc Brick and Mortar store in Jamaica Queens, New York
has become the local bank to many in need of short term assistance
when conventional banks could not or would not help. |
|
Quoted in the prestigious NEW YORK TIMES
daily newspaper on Tuesday October, 25, 2005 as an experienced,
"ethnogemologist Nino clearly understands jewelry, taking into
account date of manufacture, style, craftsmanship and country of origin.
While he never encourages borrowing the maximum amount offered as
not to overextend yourself, his appraisals are top notch and higher
than most due to his knowledge and enthusiasm to help. |
|
US Pawnbroker, Inc is licensed
as a Pawnshop in the State of New York. Since Nino took the helm in
1999 and enlarged the store, adding beautiful indoor landscaping,
comfortable seating and security, the business has quadrupled. US
Pawnbroker has become a neighborhood beloved store, with each holiday
creatively represented in exciting decor throughout the store. |

Are pawnshop's good places to shop? Most pawnbrokers main
business is in making loans, The items that you see on display
are defaulted and can be easily bought for fractions of the original
purchase prices. A keen shopper will examine the product for defects
prior to purchase, but must reputable pawnbrokers will offer some
sort of warrantee. New jewelry outlets will hardly ever carry those
different or unusual items.
