Pacific Jewelry is the only place I will go to from now on. He is extremely informative and helpful with all of the evaluations. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking to sell or get evaluations for what they have . Don’t waist your time at other locations. This will be the best place you will find.

Paul was very knowledgeable and helpful evaluating my grandmother’s jewelry and educating me on the quality and the current market, especially since I walked in knowing absolutely nothing. He was nice and professional and was flexible with my schedule too. I will definitely be using Paul in the future and highly recommend him.

I am so very grateful to have met Paul. After meeting with several jewelry buyers, he was, by far, the person I felt most comfortable selling family jewelry to. He is kind, patient, fair and understanding....important when an aging parent is running out of financial resources and long held family "treasures" need to be sold. I recommend Pacific Jewelry and Watches wholeheartedly.

Whatever reservations I had about selling jewelry was completely put at ease when I met Paul. He was fair, informative, and really knows the market. You will get very reasonable assessments whether you are selling or want an appraisal, and the location is very safe in a nice part of town. Highly recommend.

I called Paul to examine two rings I bought from a new jeweler. I wanted to confirm that they were as described when purchased. Paul was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. He explained the pre and post-lab-grown diamond market, the process of creating lab-grown diamonds, and how appraisals work. He could have recommended a full appraisal but was honest and fair and also explained why, in this case, it wasn’t necessary. After examining my rings and using sophisticated machinery, Paul verified that while they were good quality, one small stone was not as represented. I appreciated Paul’s wealth of knowledge, fairness, and the fact that he chose to give the benefit of the doubt to the original jeweler and not slander them. I will absolutely go back for any jewelry or appraisal needs. I would also trust him if I needed to sell any jewelry or metal serving ware. (p.s. The original jeweler confirmed the error and replaced the stone without any questions.)

Very professional. Would highly recommend. Parking is tricky in this area, so you might ask him the best place to park, as reserved parking for this building seems to be reserved for the CPA firm. Overall a great experience.
