Decatur Jewelry & Pawn in other cities:
I lost my father 3 years ago and he left me the ring that he proposed to my mother with. The ring needed a serious repair but I felt extremely nervous about handing it off to just anyone to fix. The ring was cut in half and needed to be resized. My fiancé reached out to jake and he reassured him that the ring would be safe. Two months later my fiancé proposed with that very ring. I can’t begin to explain the emotions I felt when I saw it. The ring I looked at and admired since I was a little girl was on my finger in perfect condition. They did such a good job and I can’t wait to keep passing down this ring for generations to come.If you’re looking for a place to treat you like family, this is it!!!
I found my grandpas poles that were stolen in this pawn shop, did the police report, called back next day and Jake tells me to stop calling and wasting their time and mine that the poles were not mine because they were pawned by different people on different days, I tried to explain to him the details about them on how I KNOW they are mine and he rudely tells me to stop calling and bothering them. I now since they did not want to work with me to give me my poles back had to put the 3 poles remaining on layway so I can get my grandpas poles back. For me to go out of my way and still purchase them after the police report should prove this man they really mean something to me, old poles or not. Now Im going to end up paying 70$ for poles that were considered no big deal and irrelevant to this worker. He gave me such a bad experience. I will buy my poles back and never step foot in this business again. Very turned off by this whole experience and the fact that my issue was no big deal to him at all and considered a waste of his time. So sad. Such horrible customer service skills, or lack there of.
Came in to pawn my rag band glasses and the staff in the store were all very helpful. They went above and beyond for me including helping me look at other pawn shops to make sure I was getting the best deal possible. I will highly recommend this place and will be any future belongings to Decatur Jewelry and Pawn!!!
Purchased a product from Decatur online. Prior to purchasing I reached out to confirm the product options and availability to ship to MA. I received quick and clear communication from them. The product was listed very well with many clear photos and a great description. They shipped it quickly (even though USPS was delayed) and provided me excellent communication on the shipping info and tracking number. When I called to make the payment they were also very friendly and prompt. I read many review on Decatur prior to buying and knew I’d have a pleasant experience based on them. As you can clearly see they have hundreds of 5 star ratings. I would absolutely do business with them again and highly recommend them. Appreciate your customer support and thank you very much for a smooth experience .

Go check it out...Decatur Jewelry and Pawn1065 W. Pershing Rd.Decatur,IL 62526
While I will preface with stating I am not the first person to take something to a pawn shop to sell it, I have had nothing but positive experiences when selling here at Decatur Jewelry and Pawn. The staff is beyond friendly and Ive felt Ive gotten wonderful offers and deals on everything Ive sold here. Along with that, the selection of items to buy and inexpensive prices inside the store are always worth checking out as well! A big thank you for all they have done and continue to do to for me.
Decatur Jewelry and Pawn is not only the best pawn shop I have ever been too but they offer so much more than just a pawn shop. I have been a customer for well over a decade and I have never been disappointed. Perry the owner is a great person and businessman. My latest purchase was from Lana and as always a smooth and flawless transaction. Her knowledge of her department is excellent and she always has a smile on her face. Lana is always willing to go the extra mile for her customers!!!! What I love is the greeting you receive when you enter and some of the employees even call you by name which is always a plus! I highly recommend them for anything from jewelry, electronics, music equipment, tools, generators to hunting equipment and more! Support local!!!
I am accusing the owner of paying for false reviews right here in public, I also believe that he is creating fake accounts. I am calling you out on your absolutely atrocious service and rude/disrespectful staff.RESPONSE DEBUNKED!!!Joseph Wall53 points15 hours agoI was sold a USED firearm without being warned that the object I was purchasing may very well have been placed down someone elses pants. I was then verbally berated by the owner after requesting a refund. I would only recommend to someone I did not care for very well. Considering consulting an attorney. I was then written a nasty disrespectful message from Perry the owner.Response from the owner 2 hours agoNot much of a response needed here. Just facts. Joe is in his living room. Loads magazine into a firearm that he fails to check to see if its loaded. IT IS. Points gun at wall & pulls trigger, blasting his wall. Tries hiding stupidity from wife & kids. He FAILS every gun safety fundamental there is. Hes embarrassed & asks to return firearm because its defective.I explain how he failed every gun safety measure & suggest he takes a gun safety course before owning a firearm. Of course, this is all our fault. Enough said.1. I had a snap cap in one hand and a bullet in the other and mixed them up by accident. (As I told Perry the owner)2. I do NOT HAVE A WIFE OR KIDS! (He has completely fabricated that nonsense)3. I NEVER claimed the gun was defective.4. The only fault that Perry and his shop are responsible for is the fact that I was told the gun was new, or I would not have purchased it.5. Why dont we honest people just puke at the thought of this pitiful putz and move on.
DONT DO LAYAWAY!!!I bought a gun from them on layaway paid over half of it off and decided to pay it off early to get it last year and when i went in they claimed i missed a payment and wouldnt refund me or give me the item even though they never contacted meEdit to reply to the owners response:google changed my name some time ago so this isnt my real nameit would be under Chance Grosbergerbut i appreciate your response if you can find the records i can call after Christmas (i assume youll be closed til the holidays are over)
The couple negative reviews I see on here do NOT accurately reflect or describe this business and I hope you can look past those and decide for yourself. Look at all the positive reviews! It’s just some troll leaving negative comments probably joined by a buddy or girlfriend to make this business look bad when they are amazing people! I have only good things to report and would highly recommend!-Myles
Wow!!! What a wonderful, clean and very professional business this is. I have done business with them several times and have never had anything but a great experience. I always walk out happy and glad that I came. The staff are all very nice and make you feel very comfortable. When you walk in you do not get that scummy feeling like with alot of pawn places. The store is always spotless and feels very warm/welcoming. They have always got me in and out in reasonable time and will give you the fairest price. They never low ball you and are honest. I have always walked out with more money than I thought I would recieve. I will never go anywhere else! Im telling ya theyare it! ☺
My family has purchased several items at this store. Electronics, guns, jewelry, tools, etc. we have been VERY satisfied with all merchandise. I’ve also had many jewelry repairs done. Gerri, the very meticulous jeweler, does excellent work and strives for customer satisfaction. She checks all mounts whenever something is brought in and makes sure all stones are snug and safe. She stands behind her work. She’s courteous and pays great attention to detail. Costs for repairs are generally better than their competitors. I highly recommend Decatur Jewelry and Pawn.
Lana, Rick and Perry are top notch! They are always great to work with on firearms. Great inventory and very fair prices and on top of that they are all very knowledgeable. They also have the best Lay-A- Way program around.I am pleased to continue to do business with them!
I have done business here for several years and always get treated with respect and get some great deals. Rick Drew in the Gun Shop is very knowledgeable and always steers me right for a good deal.Have bought several guns there and very satisfied with them all. Will definitely continue to shop there.
I never go anywhere else for my watch repairs or my watch batteries. They are very courteous and professional. Kyle!! Thank you! thank you! thank you! for fixing my favorite watch! I thought it was a goner. Everytime I look at it I will remember Decatur Jewelry and Pawn.
My Dad, Ricky Jones, has been a long time customer of DJP.This morning my living room was rather drafty & decided Id go pick up a space heater. Luckily enough DJP had several at a VERY affordable price.The gentleman was so polite & courteous I decided while I was there Id get my Mothers Ring looked at. I had a rather unfortunate mishap with the company that my husband had originally ordered it from for Christmas for me. The gentleman at the jewelry counter helped me get the proper size of my finger, decide on what route to fix my ring & even let me try on a very lovely ring that my heart is set on.I left that store happy & confident in both purchase & repair of my ring.
I bought a ps4 yesterday the price was great, staff very helpful all I had to do was pick up curbside, what was really great one of the games I bought I already had no problem they switched it with no problems, and even found the charging cable for the controller. Thanks again guys . I highly recommend this shoppe the staff is great
Every single time I have gone to Decatur Jewelry and Pawn.... I have been met and greeted by a friendly and amazing staff. I have never visited a pawn shop that has had such great deals on amazing merchandise... guns, furniture, jewelry, musical instruments, knives, fashion items for my wife, electronics..... I’ve bought it all there. If Perry doesn’t have it, he WILL find it and get it for you. Just in this month alone (April 2020) I have spent $1500-2000 there and left with $3000-4000 worth of stuff..... deals that can’t be beat. I very highly recommend DJP to anyone and everyone...
The staff here is amazing! I had hit a rough spot and not only did they help me financially, they treated me like family. They listened south no judgement and went out of their way to make sure i got what I needed! They are professional and fair with loans and prices!
The staff was very helpful in helping with questions I had about different merchandise. I have been coming to them for the last 20 years for lots of different items. Especially their sales are great buys! I referred friends that also came, shopped and bought. Excellent store with great staff! Very friendly always.
These jewelers know their stuff!! Christine is always helpful, laid back, NO BS about her!! Ive bought diamonds and gems before from them and always come here first when looking for a new piece or looking to sell an old one. Layaway is a wonderful program, too. I love this place!!!
Pawn shops arent usually places I go to for finding what I want, but this location is definitely one the nicer ones in the area. The staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. If you are looking to purchase electronics or sound equipment, make sure that Kyle is working that day for the best experience.
I have bought several pieces of jewelry from Perry and the group at Decatur Jewelry & Pawn. I even had him do my appraisals on all my pieces for insurance purposes. I now live out of state but still have bought pieces online through FB. Have never had any problems receiving my items.
Jeff was helpful when I was having questions about the monitors for computer work. Even went and found a A co-worker who knew more about computers to answer questions. Every time I come to check in and see about wireless performance mics, they are on the ball trying to help.
Excellent place to come to & the class of this place & there employees were awesome! Shopping last minute wedding sets was getting to be stressful on us. My fiancé went in on a late Saturday afternoon Christine had waited on him showed him some beautiful sets of wedding rings & came home with the most prettiest one ever! I too went in for sizing of his band to pick up & met her & I gotta say its like we known each other for years but only just met. She is a asset to this company & we both just loved her!! Defiantly, will be back!! Thank you again from the Knotts family 😁
They are very excellent and very loving and friendly and help me out a lot when I had to pawn my wedding set and worked with me when I was going to be a little behind knowing I had to pawn them for rent but they worked with me and helped me and now I got my rings again and they have magical layaways deals better then any other pawn shop they are very passionate and waking up to be able to help others it’s like a family
Christine and Darby provided me with excellent customer service in their jewelry department. They were able to fix an heirloom watch of mine that I had previously had poorly repaired by one of their competitors. Take your jewlery to Christine if you want it done right the first time!
Fast and courteous service. Saw a firearm on their Facebook page and they were more than happy to work with me on completing the transaction and getting the firearm transferred to my FFL.I have been in their store on a few occasions and have always been treated with the upmost respect. Their staff is friendly and make you feel glad you stopped in.
I bought a hand gun went and shoot it. After I shoot the first clip when and release the clip it all fell out. When back to Decatur jewelry pawn shot showed then what happened they took very good care of me with a new hand gun. I will do more business with them. Thanks you all.
My husband and I couldnt be happier then the way we were treated! Lana Niemeyer made me feel so comfortable on buying my first gun. She walked me through the process of finding a gun you like even when you have no idea what you even want. Never felt like I was a bother or they were to busy for my questions. I even went back and had all my jewelry fixed and have to say I paid way less and they are still together 8 month later when I break them weekly. Then we went back and forth a new wedding set have to day they have it all! All I can say is thank you for everything!!!
The gun dept is great rick and lana are always helpful. I have bought 3 firearms there and have sold and pawned there mostly good experience, although every time I have went in to pawn or sell I always get told that the item isnt doing well (on ebay) and get low balled I feel using ebay as their only reference is not fair. In one particular instance I pawned a line 6 spider 3 30 amp guitar amplifier they find the lowest ebay price and then lower that an amplifier is heavy and shipping on ebay is usually $30-$40 and everyone knows when you buy something on ebay you take the shipping cost into consideration on a heavy item for sure, they refuse to acknowledge this and offer $25 on an amp worth $80-$90. I know they need to make a profit but not 70% or more I got them up to $35 but got attitude from the guy for even trying to get a more fair price. Im giving 5 stars based on the gun dept.
My sister and I went to get my ring sized because we had both inherited lots of gold rings from our aunt who had recently passed. We went into the store and all was well. We were almost to riverton when Perry the owner called us. Three times. He called to say that the repair has been voided and he didnt want business with my sister anymore. They thought the ring was for her. It wasnt. We rushed back there after my sister called Kelly (the owners wife) and she handled the situation quite well (besides picking up the phone with a bit of attitude) This situation can go on but Im stopping here. They did indeed overcharge us.(my sister recently working behind the jewelry counter there) but all in all the pure pettiness of the owner lost a lot of business including myself, my family, and my friends.
Perry & Kelly Lewin are good folk. They run a first class shop and always treat customers fairly and honestly.

2022-04-30Decatur Jewelry and Pawn is the best pawn shop in town. The staff are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I was in the store for over 2 hours today browsing for the perfect gift and the staff, including Jake, were more than willing to answer any questions I had about the items themselves and also their layaway payment plans. After finally deciding on my purchase, my paperwork was finalized quickly, helping me to get on with the rest of my day. This is not my first experience with Decatur Jewelry and Pawn, and definitely will not be the last. Best of all they will keep in touch with you on your loans and even have a service that tells you about new products coming into the shop.

2022-05-18My husband had my engagement ring designed by Decatur Jewelry and Pawn’s very own Gerri H., the areas most amazing jeweler, last year. Words cannot express how amazing it is! When the date was set and we needed the wedding band we knew exactly where to go. Gerri made a beautiful wrap to highlight my beautiful ring and make it even more stunning. Not only did Decatur Jewelry and Pawn meet our needs and exceed our expectations, the staff is friendly and accommodating. I’ll never buy jewelry from anyone else!

2022-05-04My favorite pawn shop. Gives pawn bucks. Ive pawned and purchased.
Review №6
2022-08-05Was told that even if the stones in a few of the pieces I brought in were real, they wouldnt sell. Apparently they ONLY base their prices on the weight of the metal. I bet if I had brought my $200 diamond necklace in they wouldve tried buying it for $5 based on the sterling silver weight.
