Pawn shops can be challenging places. Making an appointment will not protect you. Being shown to a private office will not protect you. You MUST always keep anything you consider selling in your sight at all times. The charming sales person may ask if he can take your item to a co worker for a second opinion..the response should be NO! Be very careful in any pawn shop to keep your item in your view..always!

Historical Landmark with outstanding deals and service that can't be beat – We bought 2 watches and my engagement ring over the past year and half. No where else can you find a staff that is so knowledgeable and helpful as well as FAIR!!! A rare thing to find in this industry. I won't shop anywhere else for my jewelry again as these guys know their stuff and their prices AND quality cant be beat!!!Not to mention their shop is as cool in appearance as they come, its something to see. I now realize that retail is NOT the way t... read more

Best appraisal price in San Francisco! – My Wife and I had an excellent experience doing business with the San Francisco Provident Loan company. We needed to get an appraisal for my wife's engagement ring for insurance purposes and have checked out several local jewelry appraisers. All of their estimates were at least 3 times the cost of SF Provident Loan's estimate. The service that we received was outstanding. We have never done this before so he explained everything very thoroughly. He took the time to show us what was in... read more

Best Kept Secret in San Francisco – The person who gave this place one star is obviously a competitor, who most likely, cannot compete. Provident Loan has taken care of my family for years, and we wouldn't use anyone else. They are experts in jewelry and always give me prices well below any of their competitors. Joey is a great guy and absolute pro. I've bought watches from him a couple of times and a diamond ring for my wife. All great deals and terrific merchandise. When putting together a down payment on my first home, I ... read more

better off some where else – I dont recommend. They dont have state of the art equipment. Becareful with the owner he is sneaky like most pawn brokers. the photos of the shop online is not the way it is when you go, it is a run down dump. They must be writing their own reviews. Go to a legit appraiser. Good luck

The Pawn Shop next door – I never thought I would need a pawn shop and everything I'd ever seen or heard of them had me thinking they were sleazy places that would just rip me off. However... recently I found myself in the unusual position of needing to sell a piece of jewelry I had for some extra cash. I searched the internet and the first place I came across was San Francisco Provident Loan. I read some reviews online and decided to check it out. From my very first phone call this was a completely pleasant experience. I wa... read more

Friendly, honest, professional staff – My fiancee and I bought an engagement ring and our wedding bands from Joey and Ben upon the advice of a friend of ours. In both cases we researched designs we wanted for each ring, brought specs to their office, and they were able to make the rings. We just picked up the wedding bands and they look great! We were so pleased with the relaxed nature of visiting SFPLA: never did we feel pressured or hurried into buying anything. This is in stark contrast to other retail jewelery shops that... read more

Best place in San Francisco to sell a diamond. – Joey at Provident Loan was very helpful to me when I needed to perform the unpleasant task of selling a precious diamond. Other brokers in San Francisco offered to put my ring on consignment or give me one-half of the amount the appraiser said I should get. Joey at Provident, however, gave me exactly what I was expecting to get for the ring and the transaction took only 20 minutes. I called the "other guy" from the Provident Loan lobby and he said that the deal I got from Prov... read more

Easy, fair, friendly and knowledgable place to sell diamonds – I have never sold a piece of jewelry before, and was hesitant to go to a 'pawn shop' with my very valuable diamond wedding ring. Ben was very easy to work with and gave me a fair price. Diamonds usually go for about half (sadly) of what you paid retail. It took less than half an hour, was a perfectly pleasant experience, and Ben walked me to my scooter since I was carrying thousands of dollars in cash. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to sell... read more
