  • DID THE BEST WORK I’ve ever seen from a jeweler. The precision on it was perfect. Would not recommend any jeweler except Ed Harp at Gems N’ Loans in Oceanside . He is by far the best jeweler I’ve ever met.

  • GREAT AND FRIENDLY SERVICEI have been with Gems N Loans for so long, from getting loans to even buying numerous jewerly from them. Joe helped me out in Escondido, then the moved to 2nd street where Otto helped me, Otto you the man, and then Angel, great guy. They have great and friendly services. Anytime I run short, Gems n Loans is there for me. I recommended them to any one. Ask for Otto or Angel, they are my guys.

  • WHAT AN AMAZING PLACE!This was my first time in a pawn shop, and, well what a great experience. The store looked nothing like a pawn shop, it had a very comfortable, inviting feeling to it. The staff was so freindly, and very funny, you can tell they love helping people and working there. Like I said this was my first time in to a pawn shop, so i was understandably nervous at first. I left there with more money for my gold than anyone offered me from the previous 3 "gold buyers". I will certainly be back and I highly recommend gems n loans in vista to anyone who needs a loan or has gold to sell. Thank You!! Especially Lucy, you are the best in the business and thank you for helping me get the money I needed to get my life back on track.

  • YOUR A PART OF THE FAMILY...:)NO NEED TO GO ANYWHERE ELSE! I am new to Vista. Just having ended a 20 year relationship, and diognosed as terminal with Lupus, one can imagine a lil' compassion goes a loooong way to say the least. ...Well, I am so very touched with the welcome, compassion,warmth and JOY Marquita and the "family" have blessed me with. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A FIRST TIME CUSTOMER HERE PEOPLE! What a cool place! I had never pawned anything befor. If you've ever been thru a breakup...ya'll know how "uncooth" the behavor can be. Left with not much, I was walking in the store thinking, "great...more "loss". I want you all to know that it was one of the best times I've had in a long time. What a crack up they all are.! They have an imaculate shop. They introduce themselves or one-another to you, and the coolest part is folks come in just to say hi to the family...because YOU ARE FAMILY there. ..OH! ...and they are beyond generous in what they can do for you. They pay TOP dollar with a lil' love sprinkled on top. ...THANK YOU!...So much...:) I will be in with that Mole' Mama'...the competition is on!

  • MY EXPERIENCE AT GEMS N LOANSJust want to say that I had an excellent experience with the people at your Vista store. I was in a bind and I took my guitar and amp and ended up borrowing $100.00 Well today I went back and got my stuff back, but I really have to take the time to say that your staff at the Vista store really made an empression by first listening to my situation, believing me & helping me out. I will now tell everyone I know about your great people skills & service. I will also try shopping you guys before I go anywhere else. Thanks, again! Robert‎

  • RECENT EXPERIENCE AT GEMS N LOANSRequired.....: name_from,phone,email_from Phone........: 951-692-1277 Comments.....: Just wanted you to know what a positive experience I had at your Vista store a week ago. With today's economic times, I had to part with some jewelry in order to make ends meet. I dealt with Jason Postelnek and Lucy Tirado. Both made me feel very comfortable. I was expecting to feel bad for being unable to get buy without parting with things ... but this was not the case at all. I drove from the Hemet area to the store in Vista, as my sister told me how nice the employees here are. If I need to deal with this type of transaction again I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you for having such wonderful employees.‎

  • THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE...I have ever been in a pawn shop I did not know what to expect. I cannot possibly convey how much i appreciate the wonderful people working here. They helped me out so much! I was going to lose my home and they not only helped me with loaning me money but they helped me emotionally too. I was near tears when i went to them as a last resort and they helped. And made me feel good about it.Thank you Lucy!!
