Services We Offer

Cash Loans in Queens
When you need fast cash, GEM Pawnbrokers makes it simple. Our cash loans are based on the value of your personal items, not your credit score.
Serving neighborhoods like Jamaica, Bayside, Astoria, and Queens Village, our Queens locations are your quick access to cash without the hurdles of traditional lenders.

Pawn Jewelry
We understand that while your jewelry can unlock fast, confidential funds when you need them most, it can also hold great sentimental value. That’s why at GEM Pawnbrokers, we provide jewelry pawn loans that are easy, discreet, and fair.
Prefer to sell instead? We also offer cash-for-gold and direct buy options. We buy gold jewelry, broken pieces, or valuables you’re ready to part with.

Pawn Electronics
Got a laptop, smartphone, or gaming console you’re not using? At GEM Pawnbrokers, we turn working electronics into fast cash. Whether you need extra funds for bills, travel, or day-to-day expenses, our electronics pawn services offer a fast, fair, and secure solution.

Estate Buying Services
Settling an estate can be an emotional and overwhelming task, but GEM Pawnbrokers offers the support and expertise you need during this important time. Our estate buying services are trusted by families and attorneys across NYC for fair evaluations, clear guidance, and respectful service.
From Jamaica to Bayside, Astoria, and Queens Village, we make it easy to access estate buying services without leaving your borough.

Collateral Business Loans
Small business owners face enough challenges, but access to capital shouldn’t be one of them. That’s why GEM Pawnbrokers offers fast, flexible collateral-based business loans designed for entrepreneurs who need cash without the wait.
We work with businesses of all types from retailers, food truck owners, contractors, creatives, and more. Use inventory, tools, electronics, commercial vehicles, gold, and other high-value items as collateral.
