WHAT WE PAWN
At Shane’s, we specialize in high-end collateral. You can bring in:
Jewelry & Diamonds
We accept gold, silver, and platinum jewelry of all kinds — whole, broken, estate, vintage, and modern pieces — as well as loose or mounted diamonds. Our owner is a GIA-certified gemologist, ensuring every item is accurately evaluated and handled with care.
Gold, Silver, & Platinum Coins and Bullion
We accept precious metal coins and bullion bars of all types and sizes, using real-time market prices to determine value.

Precious Metal Scrap, Art & Collectibles
We also pawn precious metal scrap, as well as collectible or artistic pieces crafted from gold, silver, or platinum — from sculptures to limited-edition investment items.
When you bring your valuables to Shane’s, you can rest assured they’ll be handled with integrity, professionalism, and complete confidentiality.

EASY REPAYMENT & EXTENSIONS
Pawns in Illinois are written for 30 days with a 30-day grace period, giving you up to 60 days to pick up your item. If you need additional time, you can easily extend your pawn by paying the interest due — there’s no penalty and no impact on your credit score.
At Shane’s, we work with you to make the process as convenient and flexible as possible.
