With the economy bringing my family down I made the mistake of pawning a gold pendant which was a family heirloom. It was originally a gift to my father in law from the king of Saudi Arabia. He sent it to us this year as a gift so to keep it in the family. I was late making interest payment and of being 18k gold, it was pulled right away. When I questioned about it, I was told it was sent off to be melted if not in their case. Anyone with any knowledge of gold would have recognized what a piece they were holding. My heart is beyond broken and I wish I could have had other means to feed my children. It is a nice store, but as a warning to all, Never Pawn!! Go their to buy or you will be hurt!!
