I had very little knowledge of gems and precious metals when I inherited some. I went to Paul because of his great online reviews and they weren't wrong as I did two different transactions with him. He is very friendly, straight forward & honest. I had no idea the price of gold had increased the week before I went to him for the second time, but he informed me of my fortunate timing per the market. He will be my first call for future transactions and he should be your first call if you are looking for a solid appraiser and/or buyer.

Paul is fantastic. Highly recommend! He was quick to help set up an appointment and walked me through the whole process of appraising a diamond ring. Had no issues submitting his appraisal to insurance and will certainly be back with other items.

I went to Paul a couple of weeks ago with some family heirlooms and items that had been left to me in a family members estate. He was very honest and fair. He gave me a price I felt comfortable with on a few of the items and it was seamless and easy. I Will definitely be bringing additional items back to Paul and referring anyone I know to him. A+ rated.

Let me start off with Paul... Great guy! I was shopping around the westside for pricing on jewelry I inherited and came across Paul's new location in Brentwood. He's a real professional and was able to sort through everything I had quickly and accurately telling me what was real and valuable and what was costume jewelry. He gave me an honest assessment and pricing that was fair, and since I had already shopped around I decided to sell on the spot. With all of his knowledge and honesty I cant recommend him enough!

I decided to let go of some pieces that are no longer aligned with my preferences. I began searching and found Paul. I called and made an appointment, from start to finish, he was kind, welcoming, professional and extremely helpful in explaining the process. I immediately felt at ease as he began categorizing, inspecting and testing the pieces. He has impressive credentials and a great deal of knowledge. I learned so much from him! Apart from that, he is trustworthy, he will explain things thoroughly and make the whole process as smooth as possible. I am grateful for Paul. His honesty, experience and professionalism is unparalleled! Highly recommended. Thank you so much!

I had a few pieces that needed to be appraised to be covered by my insurance policy. I had a great experience with Paul whose the owner of the business. He provided very professional appraisal documents in a timely manner. While I was at there I also noticed that they also buy estate jewelry and silver. I later went home gathered some jewelry and a silver flatware set that I no longer use and sold them to Paul. The price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend this business!

Paul is the most fair and honest buyer I have found.

I consider Paul a trustworthy precious metals dealer and would recommend his services.

I had a wonderful experience getting my jewelry appraised. He was genuine, honest and was happy to answer any of my questions. I didn't feel any pressure to sell items I was attached to and I really appreciated that as that was a major concern of mine when looking for an appraiser. I ended up selling some things to him and received a check right away. I will definitely go back again.

Paul was incredibly thoughtful, detailed, and education oriented. My insurer was even impressed with the level of detail in his appraisal report. He was timely, friendly, and did the inspection on the spot with me throwing some questions his way - and within just a couple of days sent me a super detailed report. Will 100% be telling friends and family to visit Paul when they need appraisals or to sell jewelry in the future.
