I needed an appraisal for an engagement ring in order to put on my insurance personal articles policy. Paul was easy to get an appointment with and turned around the appraisal in about a day. Very professional. Would highly recommend.

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.
