H & B Jewelry and Loan Co.

H&B Jewelry and Loan Company was established in 1948 by Lou Tobin. He had just returned from chasing Hitler around Europe and was ready to settle down and start a family. Although Lou had no formal education, he developed a philosophy 'Be fair with your customers, give them bargains and treat them with dignity and they will remain your customers forever.' That philosophy is still in place. We are honored by generations of good customers and friends of H&B, and we remember they are the reason we are here.    H&B has been a member of the National Pawnbroker's Association since 1989, and is indeed Oregon's oldest licensed pawnbroker. For decades we have specialized in fine diamonds and fine jewelry, as a member of the Jeweler's Board of Trade for over twenty years. We also belong to the JCK and the Oregon State Jewelers Association, and have for more than twenty years.      In 1970, Phil Tobin (Lou's son) came into the company adding his own new dimension to an already thriving business. Phil has been at the helm for the past 45 years, moving the company into the 21st century with a standard that is unequaled in the pawn industry

Today, almost 70 years later, and a third generation, H&B Jewelry and Loan has become the oldest state licensed pawnbroker in Oregon. Although specializing in jewelry, H&B handles everything you would expect to find in a well-run organized pawnshop. Jewelry, cameras, musical instruments, electronics, tools and much more. The company averages over 200 loans per day and has a staff of professionals all eager to help you.   Our Diamond customers span over 70 years and three generations. Manufacturing jewelers and dealers check with us often to see what new is being offered. We created H&B Jewelry Replacement to service better our clients, new and old. Our diamond division will specialize in offering the finest possible choices, and for vastly less than retail. Be sure and run the diamond search engine, you'll find over 30,000 certified diamonds there, and surely yours

H. & B. Jewelry and Loan has been buying and selling fine diamonds since 1948. We feel we are able to offer quality diamonds at often below wholesale because of our abundance of diamonds that come from pawn. This is what makes us different than shopping at a mall or discount store.   We encourage you to shop around and compare what we are able to do for you. Once you have purchased jewelry from H. & B. Jewelry and Loan Co, we are sure that you will never go back to the retail store again. Keep in mind that no one throws away diamonds. When and if the jewelry falls out of pawn, we remount the diamonds, polish the gold and resell the jewelry at usually half the retail store, even on sale.   We have a large selection of beautiful reconditioned jewelry for all occasions, anniversaries, birthdays, engagements and holidays. We have an amazing ability to find just the perfect loose diamond. We are connected to over 5,000 other pawnbrokers around the country. If you are looking for a loose diamond that we don't have in our inventory, we simply post a wanted note on our diamond search engine and within minutes I am notified of another pawnbroker who has what you're looking for. The loose diamonds are shipped overnight and are available for your viewing within 24 hours at no risk or cost to you.
