I came to All Island Jewelry and Loan after visiting their neighbor across the street Diamond Jewelers very unhappy. I wasnt sure if they would be able to repair my grandmother's diamond ring which I am planning on giving to my girlfriend as an engagement ring. Sure enough they were able to help me. The ring was missing a beget... needed to be resized and cleaned up. The staff there was very helpful and informative. They told me it could take a couple weeks to fix it up as it had to be sent out for repair. Well 5 days later they had it back and I went to pick it up. All i can say is WOW! The ring was in rough shape as it must be over 30 years old. I gave it to them looking its age. What i got back looked BRAN NEW! Like it was just made. The sparkle and shine it has now is breathtaking. Diamond Jewelry wanted over $450 dollars telling me it was in rough shape and needed alot of work. All Island Jewelry and Loan took care of it for me for $150 and gave me a nice box to put it in AND they gave me an appraisal on its value. I cant say enough how happy I am for what they have done for me. Its Christmas time and I am light on money "obviously" and they helped make my girlfriends and my dream come true. If you have Jewelry that needs repair go to all island... NOT Diamond Jewelers. If you dont have 50 grand sitting in your bank account they want nothing to do with you except hit you over the head with massive fees. Go to all island Jewelry and Loan.. do NOT go to...
Read moreHave been an All Island customer for many years now. Many times over the years I found myself in an emergency situation and in need of quick cash. Whether it was a transmission issue, speeding ticket or a zillion red light camera tickets or just plain old extra Christmas shopping cash, All Island had me covered every time. If you have something of value just sitting there doing nothing, and you find yourself in the need for emergency cash, there is nowhere better then Ray and All Island Jewelry and Loan. You can trust them to give you back your items EXACTLY as you left it with them. So many times when I had an emergency, I turned to Ray with my gold and diamond pieces and was able to pay what i needed to, and then get my stuff back. It's a much better alternative then pawning, where you can just kiss your stuff goodbye. Take my word for it, you can't go wrong using this service and there is no better time then now, especially with this mess we find ourselves in with heating oil and gas prices. You'll be 100 percent satisfied. I even picked up a beautiful sound system for the den at a ridiculous price. they do...
Read moreIf you're looking to sell gold/silver/etc they beat out virtually EVERY pawn shop on middle country rd, and if you're looking for a loan (pawn*) on your new electronics, gold or instruments they HANDS DOWN give the highest amounts. Good selection of TVs, gadgets, computers/latops, gaming consoles and jewelry for sale - basically one of those hidden gems that are hard to find unless you know they're there. :) And they ARE open on Sundays, albeit somewhat selective in their hours. :p
(*pawns are four month cash loans given on an item of value. I.e. you need cash but don't want to SELL an item, so they give you a little less and you have 4 months to repay the loan and get your item back. You can also renew the loan for an additional 4 months by paying the interest (interest, btw, is a price set by NYS, so it's the same no matter where you so, but how much a given shop is willing to loan you is a variable figure, which is why I recommend...
