    Alan’s Jewelry and Pawn were a pleasure to work with. I stopped in for a tank of gas and left with a Rolex. Linda Queen was awesome to work with.. I will be back and suggest you try it out also. Ask for Linda, she was a true Southern Lady. I visited the Cherokee location.

    Friendly service & good pawn $$ loans. Payoffs for pickup of merchandise is reasonable & affordable. Convenient extended hours 7-days a week! They jewelry selection is awesome, too! I highly recommend Alan’s Jewelry & Pawn; especially compared to others.

    I have been coming to Alan’s over 30 years. Ever since he was in a smaller building farther up Patton Avenue (and not the one next to Burger King-the one before) 🤣. I also know his uncle Jackie. 🫶🏽 Anyway…today’s visit with Mr. Ian Burrell was very pleasing. The gentleman was very professional & I am more than happy to leave him a great review. I will be back as always! ❤️ Merry Christmas 🎄

    I stopped by today to get my 87 year old Mama's battery replaced on her watch. I was immediately assisted by a very professional employee and ended up wearing a new pair of (small) diamond earrings out the door. I had lost one that I had been wearing in one piercing and found a sweet little pair while browsing, as the battery was being replaced in the watch. A definite win/win situation for me today!

    I’ve made several purchases from Alan’s Jewelry.. all were beautiful, unique pieces. The process was always made easy by my favorite sales associate Karina “Kary” Mines her knowledge and talent for helping you select that just right gift is unparalleled.

    Very knowledgeable staff who was very patient explaining why some of the jewelry we were selling was not we had been told when purchasing! Very disappointing when you paid a huge price at an “Estate or high end jeweler”. I truly will come here first and have Jessica work with on new pieces. She’s young, but maintained her professional cool and used her fact based knowledge to walk us through this ordeal.She had each piece tested for metal content! We’ll definitely return to Jessica and find in their huge jewelry showroom for a real piece of gold jewelry. Thanks, Jessica for your help!

    Alan’s resized and fixed my golden sapphire engagement ring for me in a hurry, with very little notice, just in time for my wedding, for no extra charge! Very grateful!

    Hello everyone I need to said this Alan Pawn has been so wonderful to me and my family. They are the only pawn shop that we have known since 2018. When we visit N.C. they make that you feel at home in their place of business and they do great job. They have wonderful people working there and always waiting to be at your service. We have pawn and shopping with them for many of years. They always ask you how much you need, and they make it happened. They also have a sale for 50 percent off on there jewelry . If you are looking for a great deal on real gold. You need to visit ALAN PAWN the place to check out.

    My wife Frances and I always purchase our Jewelry from Alan’s Jewelry and Pawn on Patton Avenue. We shop there because of an outstanding variety of quality jewelry (that is negotiable) and related items. Alan’s employees are very well trained, knowledgeable and professional. Last week I bought my wife a beautiful new Coach bag and another 14K gold chain at great prices. We’ve also bought very good wrist watches at value prices. Warren, Weaverville, NC

    After getting treated at many places, like I couldn’t buy a decent ring for my wife, Allen’s jewelry, treated me with respect and dignity. Thank you for everything brought my wife a beautiful diamond ring, and had the best service. I could possibly imagine. Just want to say thank you so much.

    Thank you so much to Ian assisting me when I was browsing. I really appreciate your willingness to help and spend your time answering all my questions. Everyone here is super friendly and I feel like my time was well spent. I purchased two gun cases for $15 a piece which is a great deal. I also got a GoPro Hero 7 for $140.

    Had a pretty good experience ,this was my first time being in this pawn shop . I came in looking for binoculars and found a great pair at a great price, the man that helped we was patient with me and helped me with several items in the store. I can not remember his name but I ended up purchasing $300 binoculars with soft case for around $130 from this store. I don't go to pawn shops often but I'd probably be back more often to see what deals they continue to have. Thank you guys for all your help and being professional keep up the good work.

    Had a great personalized experience. The employees were quick to offer assistance and made sure to work with us the entire time. Showed us multiple items and we're happy to let us try things and were very personable. Will definitely be back!

    I always buy my fine jewelry at Alan’s. Yesterday I had the best help by a lady who was very helpful and honest. She always tells me what looks great or to much(lol). I love this place. Thanks!! The lady was of Russian descent sorry I can’t remember her name but she always helps me. So please give her the praise she deserves!

    Item I wanted was more than I wanted to pay, Ian said make me an offer. We did, he accepted and now I own a brand new set of Ninja Foodie Knives. Great service

    I’ve been to Alan’s twice in the last month and not only is everyone incredibly friendly and attentive, they are honest in how they operate their business and have certain practices in place to prove so. I had the pleasure of doing business with Jay, who assisted me in making an appointment for the following day to do some “big business” in my eyes, and they were spot on the nose with service and attention when I arrived. Alan taught me so much while he team valued my items, and gave me what I considered a fair/honest price when I could have easily accepted a lot less than I was expecting. They also walked me to my car for security, which was highly appreciated. Thank you Alan’s, Alan, and Jay!

  • 5/5 Cara F. 6 months ago on Google
    Carol was the absolute best! She has a superb attention to detail and goes out of her way to get all questions answered (even ones I didn't know I had. She gave me and my fiance her undivided attention in looking at all sorts of jewelry until we found our perfect fit.

  • 5/5 Lori S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is our new favorite place to visit when we come to Cherokee! The jewelry they have is beautiful and the prices were very affordable as well. We definitely will be coming back! The people here were great! Very friendly and helpful.

  • 5/5 Caisy D. 2 years ago on Google
    Alan’s pawn has great customer service. Very kind employees and a beautiful selection of jewelry. My ring had gotten damaged and was almost 2 & 1/2 sizes too big. Alan’s promised to have it fixed within to full weeks, it only took them a week to have a ready!! It’s perfect and you can’t tell it was ever worked on!! I’ll be getting more from them soon!!

  • 5/5 Evie J. 1 year ago on Google
    Darius was so helpful. I was able to liquidate some assets with ease and the customer service was super duper friendly. I can’t recommend this business enough! I would give a billion stars I if I could! will definitely come back :)

  • 5/5 Donna T. 1 year ago on Google
    I worked with Lola and she was phenomenal! We spent —almost 2 hours picking out jewelry. She was very helpful and so pleasant. We discussed everything from birthdays etc. She pointed out beautiful pieces and made many suggestions to help me. Great afternoon with her. She made my trip very enjoyable. I wish I could give her 10 stars. She deserves every one of them!

  • 5/5 Don C. 1 year ago on Google
    My experience was excellent! Emily patiently answered all my questions and helped with selecting jewelry for gifts. She handled every step perfectly from start to finish. I purchased three items and will be back. Thank you!

  • 4/5 Christine W. 1 year ago on Google
    Always nice employees,never a long wait. Quality products. Only thing is I would like to be able to pay at home online or by phone with my debit card as I live quite a ways from the store.. I have always used this store because they have good pricing,give good price for gold jewelry.

  • 5/5 Karen G. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a shout out to Emily! I came in to Alan’s to have some work done on 2 different pieces of jewelry. I wasn’t sure what to do with the stones in a ring and she was able to give me some guidance on the color that would look good. I was so impressed with her knowledge of repair work! She gave a quote on how much it would cost (very fair) and was also able to tell me what a charm I had was (sterling silver) for a gold chain! Her customer service was outstanding!! I’ll be back for more jewelry repair in the future!! Thanks Emily!!

    Had the worst experience EVER at the Patton location today for the first time ever. Was on a deadline for a bill, so my family and I drove there twice due to leaving some things out I was trying to pawn. No biggie. I get there, walk in, was welcomed by two female employees behind the counter. One of which was a female manager who “assisted” me, the other a coworker who had helped me the prior visit but unfortunately was busy. The manager began unpacking my belongings (gaming console). While turning it on, she begins to tell me she’s not getting a response from the TV she’s using, so I politely ask if she’s using a HDMI cable. The MANAGER proceeds to SNAP and tell me “She knows what she’s doing! That she’s been doing this for 8 years!”. And her coworker and my family just look around at each other in shock. Okay, so I let it go, and let her proceed. Then, she seemed to have gotten more irritated because the controller needed synced with the console.. Again, no biggie, I brought the cord which plugs in to do that. Wasn’t good enough, she explains, “your going to have to bring this back, we don’t charge controllers, it’s company policy.” which is understandable if it had needed charged, but no point in being rude about it. Especially after knowing I had to make two trips there already while also being on a deadline. I didn’t even want to “insult” her intelligence by telling her that the controller just needed synced, since we had a 6 year old with us who was already scared of her snappy remarks. She then proceeds to unhook and give me things back quickly before sending me on my way. All the while her coworker (who was very nice and polite both visits) is apologizing for her mangers behavior. So no deadline was getting met on my end thanks to her. I didn’t even feel like coming back or giving my items over if this is how their manager treats CUSTOMERS and being totally unprofessional. Def not worth being treated like that and will forever remember this encounter.

    Emily was an amazing person who helped me with one of the most important purchases of my life. We had great conversations that made the whole experience even better. Emily’s charisma has made many happy customers. I’ve witnessed it first hand.

  • 5/5 Stetson K. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a wonderful time at this shop. They had a great variety of instruments, knives, and firearms. I enjoyed their selection of toys as well, and even purchased a vintage belt buckle. An employee named Kaylee was extremely helpful and talkative, making my experience great.

  • 5/5 Stacey D. 1 year ago on Google
    Maria helped us find a perfect wedding band for my fiancée. She was knowledgeable and flexible, letting us try many rings before we decided. She also cleaned my engagement ring while we chatted! I highly recommend her and the shop.

  • 5/5 Erin 2 years ago on Google
    Everyone was very helpful. Had beautiful pieces-something for everyone. Kary made sure that my ring was sized correctly-which I thought I needed to size my ring larger than I actually needed. Their protection plan on special jewelry is great. Definitely will keep coming back and getting pieces here.

  • 5/5 Rowan H. 2 years ago on Google
    Emily in jewelry was wonderful... attentive, patient, and helpful beyond what I would normally expect in customer service. Both my husband and I left very satisfied with our jewelry, and our experience thanks to this young lady. Although I have been here dozens of times in the past, this is the first time I would consider leaving a review, and also the first 5 star experience here as well.

  • 5/5 Jennifer L. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing Customer Service! Kari and other staff members of the Jewelry departments were very helpful with new design options for my jewelry. Kari was very conscientious and thorough. She spent the time necessary to answer my questions. On the pawn side of the store my questions were answered and the folks were professional and knowledgeable. Thank You for making my time there so pleasant and relaxed.

  • 5/5 Scarlett S. 1 year ago on Google
    Darius has always given me excellent customer service. He is knowledgeable about the items I’m interested in and is always a huge help. The jewelry department staff is also amazing. They have a beautiful selection of jewelry at great prices. I will never buy my jewelry anywhere else.

  • 5/5 Lauren A. 1 year ago on Google
    Sherrie was awesome!!!!! I recently was inherited a lot of old jewelry that needed repair. She was very knowledgeable and got answers for me on anything she wasn’t sure of or second opinions to confirm what items were worth fixing or not. Some items that had sentimental value she even came up with great ideas of other ways to use still them. It was a wonderful experience to do business with a person who is so compassionate. Alan’s Jewelry offers so much more than just buy/sell ❤️
