I would highly recommend this jeweler. I sent them on a wild goose chase to replace an old watch band and they far exceeded my expectations. And then they repaired my bracelet, ring, and necklace beautifully. Plus, it is a really fun store to browse, so many retro relics from the past!
Boris is the nicest, most honest person I have had the pleasure of doing business with in a long time. I went to him for jewelry repair/design and with a specific budget. Boris helped me make the perfect selection, even suggesting not to do things due to my budget and value. I have gone to several jewelers before, specific high end jewelers that were recommended to me, and I had a much better experience with Boris. I will only be doing business with Art Cal in the future. Respectful, honest, and fair.
Art Carl is one of my favorite family owned shops around. Boris and his father are kind and helpful, no BS, and have a lot to offer. They helped me out a few years back when things were tight and the pawn program they have is fair and reasonable. I recommend this shop to anyone who might have something to sell or is into nice vintage items and rare coins. A+++ business!
Customer service is excellent. They go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied and get every cent of your precious metals worth. They have a variety of unique pieces of jewelry to choose from and are very professional and take pride in their business. I would recommend them for your jewelry and pawn needs.
Went there earlier today for a chain for a pendant of mine, not only was the homie who owns the place incredibly friendly and genuine, he was also quite inclined to answer all my questions. And ultimately we did mutually beneficial business.Awesome antique spot, far beyond average service, very fair prices on silver.Would definitely recommend 10/10
They were great! We sold a American Strat with some job and got a really decent price for it.
This place is amazing. I’ve been coming here for years and have always gotten great customer service and the quality of the products will blow your mind. This year has been a hard one for many people with this pandemic going on. I myself can not leave the house because of my health issues. But I wanted to propose to my gf this Christmas but I was unsure how I was gonna make that happen from home. You just can’t order jewelry online. Well you can but you don’t really know what you may get. I called up yesterday and talked with the owner Boris about the situation that I was in and that I couldn’t leave the house. He took the time out of his busy day to send me pictures of rings in the display case that were in my search criteria. With his help we were able to pick out my favorite 3 and then make a decision from there. Most people wouldn’t have taken the time to take pictures and send them to someone. I was able to find the perfect ring for my gf. Now your gonna ask how did I get it from the store. The owner drove to my house and brought it to me. This is unheard of, I’ve never known anyone that would have done that. He took time out of his day so that my gf and I would have a very special Christmas together. There is nothing more than you could every ask for. So if your looking for something special and you want to work with a true professional and just down right good person than come to this place. You will not be disappointed.
Awesome service. Friendly and knowledgeable. A good variety of stuff from luxury watches to vintage comic books and video games. I love coming here. I would give it 10 stars if I could.
Absolutely amazing shop. They are fantastic and so personable and fair. BORIS is phenomenal and the nicest guy- hes sincere and again, very fair. Trustworthy shop- thanks!
Very Friendly and super honest what more can I say!!
A nice little family owned shop, the man behind the counter was friendly and very reasonable with pricing. Tons of cool memorabilia too!
These guys are hands down awesome. Easily the most real and kindest pawn shop anywhere in the world. No matter what state of disaster and distress I come in there at they always do their absolute best to work with me and to even lean on the generous side once you build a history with them. It’s a dad and a son running the place and honestly can say they have saved my neck on at least 3 occasions
AMAZING!!! AMAZING!!! AMAZING!!!Excellent customer service, nothing but positive things to say about the business. We regard the staff and the establishment as ethical, competent, and reasonably priced.When a jewelry-related situation occurs, my mother and I for over a decade have been going to Art Carl Jewelers & AC Loan to resolve the issue(s) e.g.-repairs, designing an item, and/or finding something interesting to purchase, there is no reason to go anywhere else.Boris and Michael, always a pleasure stopping by your shop. My mother and I are very happy with pendant #1 created for me, we love the design and appreciate all the details incorporated in the piece. Cant wait to see what the second masterpiece will look like. Incredible find.
Very personable service, and very near J Malden Center! Lots of unique items.
I texted Boris hoping he had something that wasnt even advertised, and he did. He sent me pictures and described the item for me, FAR more than all other sellers had done for me. I travelled almost an hour and a half to get there and when I did, the item was exactly as he said it was, and exactly what I was looking for. Since its Christmas season, while I was there I looked for something for my wife and he helped me with that as well. No high pressure sales... just help. THEN brought it to my car for me!! 5 stars!!
What a great find! Excellent location and great amount of stuff. They have a bunch of items in the store and the presentation and displays were very well done. And the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. They even recommended another place when they didnt have something in the store. Will be going back again for sure and would recommend to anyone!
The guy in there these days is great. I have been going to Art Carl for many different things since I was a kid. I actually think some family members got their wedding and engagement rings there over the years. Always reasonable. Ill be going there as long as they are around. Thanks to Art Carl for their years if dedication to Malden. Dont forget they are still in the square on pleasant st just closer to the beginning of the st since they moved.
We bought our engagement ring here and not only is it my favorite thing Ive ever owned, but working with Boris was one of my favorite shopping experiences. We wanted a vintage ring that was unique and Boris helped us to find the perfect one. We recommend him to all of our friends. They also have a lovely selection of gemstones and even offered to create a custom designed wedding band for my husband.
BEST PLACE AROUND!!!! Honestly. I had an old family emblem that was in need of repair. No matter where I went, I was given outrageous quotes. When I went to Art Carl, I had the pleasure of talking to a really nice young man named Boris. Not only did Boris give me an incredible price, but he took the time to talk to me and express to me that he would take very special care with my item since it meant so much to me. He was a young man, but I could tell that he had a great sense of pride in what he does and more importantly, I could tell he genuinely wanted to help me! I would recommend this place to anyone! Its no wonder to me why this place gets such great reviews, as long as they have people like Boris, Ill will go there time and time again. Thanks so much!!!!
My fiance was nervous about purchasing an engagement ring after hearing different pricing at different stores, and then he met Boris at Art Carl Jewelers. Boris took the time to ask him what he wanted and then went out of his way to find a perfect, clear beautiful solitaire diamond. He then ordered a setting that my fiance told him I would like and let him know when it was ready. My fiance couldnt have asked for better customer service and a better experience. He was so happy to propose to me with a ring that was a beautiful, custom ring for a price he felt was extremely fair. He raves about Boris and the entire experience!
I am the executor of my late fathers estate and was alerted to the fact that items had been illegally stolen and later pawned to the Art Carl several years ago. Somehow by the grace of God and/or simply great record keeping the owners of this shop were able to locate what was pawned/loaned, when and by whom. The owners were very sympathetic to the situation and offered to continue to look for the items in other databases without them earning a penny. They turned a still sad situation and at least brought some closure for the beneficiaries of the estate. Much thanks again.
Great store with lots of unique pieces for everyone and an extensive jewelry collection. The presentation and displays were very well done. Friendly, fair and honest people. They are also very educated, informing, theyll do everything and tell you whats going on step by step. I’ll be going back again for sure and highly recommend them.
Been coming here for over 10 years best service in the business also pays highest prices for loans and sale of gold around. Ive been to many other jewelry store /pawnshops this is by far the best. I recommend them anybody who needs a loan or cash and has some gold to sell or to get a loan go check them out.
I always love going into this place: they always have new, cool, and interesting things on display and for sale. From new tech, memorabilia from decades past, fantastic jewelry, spiffy antiques, or wares that seem to be from bazaars in far off lands, theres plenty to gawk at.The best thing about these guys is their customer service. The knowledgable and professional manager, Boris, will regal you with tales and histories about the merchandise.I highly recommend hitting this place up.
Decided to purchase a guitar after many years out of practice, and I was greeted by a very friendly and easily approachable man by the name of Boris. Not only did he help me pick out new guitar we also chatted about music for quite some time. Thank you for the help! Ill definitely be back in the future! They had a great selection for anyone looking for quality at a great price.
Theyre very honest and professional family own business always trying to work what best to pleasure their costumers and best pawn store. And great in town .Have been doing business with them for the past 4 years i always walk out with a smile 😃 in my face i recommend anyone to check them out trust me you wont be disappointed.
A family owned and operated business to whom Ive had the pleasure to meet and have always had the greatest assistance and second to none customer satisfaction, for each and every transaction! Ive been doing business here at Art Carl Jewelers & AC Loan for several years now, exclusively..... Highly recommended!
Extremely professional guys. Awesome place to go in and check out . I have bought a few items from there and also have had few pieces jewelery repaired there as well. I will definitely be going back!
Was recommended by a friend who told me this place had some great things and prices. Came in looking for an anniversary gift for my wife. Not only did I get a great deal but the owner Boris took the time to help me pick out the perfect pair of earrings. Will definitely be coming back in the future.
This shop is so nice, great atmosphere, great people. Very educated, informing, theyll do every thing an inform you of whats going on step by step, right Infront of you.. always a pleasant experience! If youre looking too sell or get a loan somewhere,please go there! You wont regret it! Such great kind people! 💙😊
Very helpful and extremely knowledgeable. Always have been happy anytime I have used Art CarlJewelers.
I wanted to share my experience I had with this awesome family business! My husband was looking for a wedding gift for me, so he went there looking for something special for me to wear on the big day. They had quite the collection of jewelry because I ended up receiving two pairs of jewelry from this store! One was an antique diamond and aquamarine drop, (my something blue) and other were diamond studs. I fell in love with both pair, but was concerned with our budget for the wedding on how much he spent. Turns out he got an AMAZiNG deal from Boris the manager of the store. I go in there frequently to get them cleaned and inspected, and they always take good care of me. I have found such unique things in the store for gifts for my friends and family, and the prices are always so fair. If you want to shop small and local, and also get a great deal you have to stop by this shop and check it out.
I love them! I cant say enough good about the father son team. Outstanding customer service. They have a large inventory something for everyone. Please before you go anywhere else go check out their store. You will not be sorry
I have been dealing with this jeweler for years they have always been a pleasure to deal with. Great prices and very kind people. I would recommend them to anyone that wants a good deal .
I came by the shop when I was visiting family and needed to find some last minute presents for the holiday. I was impressed with how unique the shop was with their selection of products. However the best part was meeting the owner Boris, who was very relatable classic Boston personality. Great spot highly recommended .
These are the finest folks in the industry!!I had never used the services of a loan store before. I was nervous and concerned that I would be taken advantage of. The experience here was totally the opposite. They were so kind and took the time to make sure that the prices were fair. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with. Ive been back several times and always a class act.
My family has gone to them for over 2 decades & we have always used them exclusively for our jewelry needs. The service is always fast, fairly priced & super friendly! I wont utilize any other jeweler for my needs!
Great store with lots of things for everyone and an extensive jewelry collection. They were informative, friendly and very patient with all of our questions and concerns. I definitely reccomend this place no matter if youre buying or selling.
I had a great experience shopping and purchasing my wedding band here. The selection was good and the staff was great with answering questions and helping me make decision without any sales pressure. I highly recommend going to Art and Carl Jewelers.
Great selections. Wonderful customer service. My dealings with them have always been both personalized and professional. I highly recommend this store.
I just sold a valuable coin and got a great deal on it. Boris is an honest nice and kind gentlemen. He gave me the best price he could and better then other shops I had looked up. Now remember people, he has to make money also. Hes NOT gonna give you retail as he is in business to make money. Theres not 1 shop out there that would give you full price and if they say they do their lying and its worth much more then what they say. Im from maine, yes the state and come to this business to do any selling or buying as they have the best prices and inventory around boston. So if your looking for a great business to sell or buy this is the place to go. They will always treat you right. Thanks Boris if you read this for your time and honesty. I will be back soon.
I had my wedding ring redesigned with Boris and he not only helped me with the beautiful design but was so patient with me while I changed my mind numerous times. MY ring came out gorgeous and Ill cherish it for many years to come. Btw. You cant beat his prices!!!!! Check them out. You wont be disappointed.
Purchased several times at Art Carl Jewelers and have not been disappointed with the quality and price of the items purchased. I highly recommend them.
I was boda borging and had some time to kill, I popped into this awesome little shop next store. The toys in the window attracted me, and I was able to find an awesome gift for my husband and my father who are really hard to shop for. Boris, the owner, helped me pick out some unique star wars and avengers toys and collectibles. He gave me a fair price and great service. The shop also had a huge selection of musical instruments and really unique items you dont see every where. If youre looking for a shop unlike most, you have to check them out, I would highly recommend!
I took my wedding ring in to get re-sized and re-finished, Art Carl Jewlers did a fantastic job!Not only did Boris walk me through the process, he kept me updated as well though-out the week.I would recommend them over ANY jeweler in the state!
Professional And courteous service!
I have been personally dealing with this establishment for almost 2 years now, and they never seize to amaze me. Every visit to the store seems to be better than the last. They always thinking of their customers and prices are much lower than most places in the area.I DONT KNOW where all these negative reviews are coming from, we cant be talking about the same people because their customer service is 2nd to none, and I have been treated way beyond my own expectations. They didnt judge me by my long beard like other places in the area had done before and that was also appreciated.They will always have a customer here. And i will recommend it to anyone looking for a good deal.Thanks for your amazing service!
I have been going to Boris and Art Carl Jewlers and loan for years.. They are amazing and great guys. Always fair and honest and willing to work with you no matter what your needs are. I typically pawn my old collectables or things I no longer want or my wife makes me get rid of to make more room in our house. Boris and Michael are always there to listen to me complain about not wanting to get rid of my stuff but then always give me a fair price! If you need these services, or anything to buy try Art Carl first!!
Friendly, fair and honest people. A pleasure to do business with. Highly recommend checking them out.
I went to Art Carls in need of a repair of a cherished family heirloom - a gold chain handed down from my grandmother that had not left my neck for over 20 years until the day it was broken. Needless to say, I was concerned that the repair would be done right and would ensure that I could continue wearing the chain for the next 20 years and far beyond. Boris -- the nice guy working the counter who informed me that this was family business he runs with his dad -- assured me that the chain would be repaired and that if any issues arose either during said repairs or regarding my concern with continued use of the chain after the repair he would let me know. Well.....I got the chain back just the other day and its stronger and shinier than ever! And all my questions and concerns were answered to my satisfaction. I strongly recommend this shop and will be back for jewelry repairs or for other needs (apparently theyre a full retail store AND pawn shop!) in the future. Thanks Boris (and dad)!
Of all the times i needed to get money in emergency i know i can always go to Art Carl Jewelers for a loan or pawn. Im always treated well and with respect. I hope everyone else will too. 👍
I am the founder and CEO or a tech startup.I was going to buy a Mac for my business fromone of our distributors.Boris had a great iMac on sale so I ended up buying it.My experience with Boris was great, he went above and beyond to assist me with my business needs.
Better 2nd time in. low price paid no parking.
II just want to share my great experience with google about that store ..Are just no words about how i will describe it, but i think GREAT is the right one . Today are just a hand full of stores all over US that give you the service and the atention you need. GREAT costumer service . My wife and i love to go there.
Great people great service great purchase very happy with Boris and his dad
These guys are great. Fantastic service.
Great service, great selections. Awesome family owned business.
Service was honest, transparent and fair. Great shop!
Great friendly service, would return again for any future purchases. Definitely would recommend this place to anybody.
They are awesome. My boyfriend didnt go any where else.
Went in there to purchase a guitar that I’ve been eyeing for a while. I was playing it and the man who runs it walked over and took it out of my hands saying, “this is too expensive, you shouldn’t have touched this.” Little does he know, I’m a professional guitarist (many like me know that you can find a gem in pawnshops) and that I’ve been playing for 20 years. They lost a $1400 sale, and my business forever. Do not go there.
Boris definitely nows his stuff..explains jewelry very well!! And i bought a wathch for a killer deal
Always friendly, helpful and reliable.
Good
Sold me broken electronic.
