A pawn loan gives you a way to borrow against the value of something you already own. At Don Pepes Loan & Jewelry Inc, qualifying jewelry, high end watches, gold bullion, and silver bullion can be evaluated as collateral for a loan at our Stockton pawn shop. The item secures the loan, so no traditional credit check is required.
The amount available for a collateral loan depends on the qualifying item you bring in and its evaluated value. Don Pepes does not have a stated minimum or maximum loan amount. As an example of the range, loan requests here have run from approximately $20 to $100,000, which shows how far the amount can vary with the collateral.
Getting a pawn loan is designed to be quick and convenient. Bring your qualifying collateral to Don Pepes, have the item evaluated, and review the loan amount available. Because the process is centered on the value of the collateral, most loan requests are approved within minutes.
Your qualifying item is held as collateral while the loan is active. Once the loan is repaid according to its terms, the collateral is returned to you. This gives you access to funds without having to sell an item you would prefer to keep, and lending against items people want back is the primary focus of the business.
What this covers
What We Lend Against
Gold Jewelry
Qualifying gold jewelry can be evaluated as collateral for a pawn loan. Bring in your chains, rings, bracelets, earrings, and other gold jewelry to learn what loan amount may be available.
Silver Jewelry
Qualifying silver jewelry may also be considered for a collateral loan. Each piece is evaluated individually to determine whether it qualifies and the loan amount available based on the item.
High End Watches
Qualifying high end watches can be used as collateral for pawn loans. The individual timepiece is evaluated to determine its value and the loan amount we may be able to offer.
Gold Bullion
Gold bullion is one of the primary types of collateral accepted here. Bring qualifying gold bars, bullion, or other gold items to our Stockton location for an evaluation.
Silver Bullion
Qualifying silver bullion can also be evaluated for a collateral loan. The amount available depends on the silver being presented and the value determined during the evaluation.

Step by step
What Happens When You Walk In
Getting a collateral loan here is designed to be straightforward. Bring in a qualifying item, have it evaluated, review the available pawn loan, and decide whether borrowing against your item is right for you.
Bring Your Item
Bring qualifying jewelry, a high end watch, gold bullion, or silver bullion you would like to use as collateral. We evaluate the item to determine whether it qualifies for a pawn loan.
Get Your Item Evaluated
Your qualifying collateral is evaluated to determine its value and the loan amount that may be available. The amount offered depends on the individual item being presented for the collateral loan.
Review Your Loan
Once the evaluation is complete, review the available pawn loan and its applicable terms. If the loan works for you, you can choose to proceed and receive your funds.
Repay and Reclaim Your Item
Your item is held as collateral while the pawn loan is active. Repay the loan according to the agreed terms and your collateral is returned to you once the loan is repaid.
How it works
Why Choose a Collateral Loan?
The main difference between a collateral loan and many traditional forms of borrowing is what determines the loan. Here, the qualifying item you bring in serves as collateral, so there is no traditional credit check required to request a pawn loan.
That also helps make the process quick and convenient. Instead of waiting through a traditional lending process, your qualifying collateral is evaluated at the counter, and most collateral loan requests are approved within minutes.
Collateral loans can range significantly in size because the available amount is based on the item being evaluated. There is no stated minimum or maximum loan amount, and past requests have ranged from approximately $20 to $100,000.
Most importantly, a pawn loan gives you an alternative to selling a valuable item you would rather keep. Your qualifying item is held as collateral while the loan is active, and you can reclaim it after repaying the loan according to its terms.
