A CERTIFIED GEM

The story of a family legacy that began in the midst of war.

For 73 years and counting, GEM has been New York’s Greatest Pawnbroking business with a culture that enforces a total customer satisfaction experience along with safe and secure financial solutions. These ideals were first fostered by our Founder, Martin Kaminsky who sharpened his skills for watchmaking, watch repair and time synchronization during his WWII tour. He established his Brooklyn-based brand to extend those services to the community, later including items for buying and selling. The GEM expansion took off when his son Mitchell joined the business after graduating with his MBA. Following Mitchell’s passing in 2017, the Kaminsky family continues to lead GEM as a true standard of this industry.
