Great place to buy!

My husband has been a Royal Pond fan for many years. He wanted to upgrade my diamond in my wedding ring and I told him that we should go to Royal Pond since my husband is always telling me they have everything. We went there and told them what we were looking for which was about a 1.5 carat diamond. They of course had two of them. My husband paid him $1800.00 cash for a 1.57 carat diamond that I took to get inspected and appraised for $9200.00. The jeweler could not believe what we paid for the diamond, he said that he couldn't even buy diamonds direct for that price.

We will be going back there probable in about a year to upgrade my current diamond again.. This time we will go over 2 carat.

The key to Royal Pond is one always talk to Himmi (pronounced "Hi Me") and always have CASH to flash.... They will sell stuff cheaper if you have cash!!!

• Pros: Price and quality purchased a diamond in 2007
• Cons: Place is kind of a dump.

I went here with 2 3ct diamond watches that cost well over 1000, I go to the window, some ugly girl looks at my watches like they are trash and this guy asks me how much I want a loan on the for, I needed extra cash so I aid said 300, He told me how bout 50 bucks. 50 bucks, ! and then he said they have so many of these watches and they sell them for 60 dollars, so before I walked out I asked to see some behind the jewelry case and guess what, they were selling for 400.00, he straight lied to me, Dont go here, shady business a and people!

Gold! A-Pawn! Gold! Chicago! Gold! A-Pawn! Gold! Chicago! Gold! A-Pawn! Gold! Chicago!

Gee kids, I sure like selling gold at A-Royal Pawn Shop. Anybody else like selling their gold, you know gold jewelry, gold watches, gold cigarette holders gold oh what the heck ever just any old Gold will do at A-Royal Pawn in Chicago Illinois which is in Cook County. It's all about gold gold gold GOLD GOLD GOLD!!!! Did you shop around for the best gold price first? I'll bet you did and for some reason this dingy little shop gives the best deal on Gold in the whole wide gold world! What a GOLDEN opportunity!

Did you write a glowing golden review the way a bad salesperson would with one selling point immediately following another with a fake negative thrown in occasionally for truthiness? Why that's positively golden! Is it as clear as white gold that some tacky SEO firm got paid too much to associate the key word GOLD with A-Royal Pawn and Chicago and took a big golden shower all over the internet with tacky reviews emulating multiple ethnicities? Wow! That's kind of obnoxious and offensive! Take this with a grain of gold dust kids because it's golden advice. Aside from the occasional turn of phrase nobody WRITES in the "character" of their ethnicity.

I just wanted to find the best pawn shop in Chicago for tools man. A good place to buy tools. All I get is bad sales pitches for A-Pawn, and gold. I wish Google removed people from their listings for this BS. Oh wait. THEY DO.

One star for my trouble jagoffs. Not that it even comes close to balancing all the BS you've put out there. And a note to the SEO firm or individual responsible. Hire writers, not salespeople to do your copy and throw in the occasional red herring review that's not about the targeted keywords. That or get into a more honest line of work that doesn't subvert the most important tool on the internet. Have yourself a golden day.

• Pros: It's a pawn shop!
• Cons: It's a pawn shop.
