Please be careful, this is still happening. Don’t buy any gold or jewelry from people in parking lots.

Please be careful of buying jewelry in gas station parking lots, there has been a scammer/scammers having their kids cry and saying they lost their wallet and ask you to buy their gold jewelry. We have tested some of the jewelry our customers bought from the scammers and they are not gold.

If you need to find out if what you bought is gold, we will test it for you with no charge. Attached picture is some of the jewelry they sold to someone. It can be very convincing.

Levi Brothers customers, we will now be loaning money on fi****ms as of this upcoming week, but all fi****ms will be reevaluated so some loan offers may go down, some could go up. We are now only going to be open on Wednesdays from 10 am to 3 pm because of the massive peak of COVID-19 in Black Hawk County. The door will be locked and only one person will be allowed in the store at a time, then we will disinfect between customers. You will need to call on Wednesdays with a time they are coming to the store for an appointment. Thank you very much and we hope you are all staying safe.

Our Story

We buy, sell and offer loans on fine jewelry, gold, diamonds, coins, designer watches, electronics, musical instruments, power tools, collectibles and more. With over 100 years in business, Levi Bros. is the oldest pawn shop in Waterloo.

Here is a brief history: Established more than a century ago, Levi Bros. Jewelry is one of Waterloo’s oldest businesses. In 1908, Julius Levi and his brother, recent immigrants from Russia, opened Levi Brothers as a small family jewelry store in downtown Waterloo. Today, more than a century later, Levi Brothers is in its fourth generation and continues to serve the Waterloo community. As a young man in the late nineteenth century, Julius Levi served in the Russian imperial army and earned recognition for his remarkable skill as a goldsmith. Eventually, he was provided a small jewelry shop to make jewelry for officers.

Meanwhile, Julius’s brother fled Russia to New York, then Chicago, and finally made his way to Waterloo where he found work as a goldsmith. A few years later, Julius joined his brother in Waterloo, and in 1908, they opened Levi Brothers. One year later, Julius’s brother returned to Chicago, leaving Julius and his new wife Ida to take charge of the business.

In the early years at Levi Bros., much of the jewelry sold was of Julius’s own designs. Only a few of his pieces remain in the family’s possession, and they are a testament to his extraordinary artistic talent.
