Had a great experience at Pacific Jewelry selling several items. Paul is a friendly, easy going guy who is patient and very knowledgeable. Total satisfaction with the prices he gave, in fact, he gave me more than I expected. Thank you Paul!
I saw Paul for my engagement ring appraisal. I really appreciated him waiting for me since I got a flat tire right before my appointment. He took his time explaining the cost of the ring and what it takes to make a ring like mine and he seemed genuinely excited about explaining the process. He was fairly quick in his responses to me when I scheduled the appointment and was quick to send me the documents for my insurance. I really appreciate this experience because most professionals in jewelry talk down to people that don’t know anything about jewelry. Will definitely recommend him to my friends and will come back when I acquire more jewelry.

I was treated with complete courtesy and attention. All of my questions were answered to my complete satisfaction, and I felt that I was given the best possible price for the items I brought in. I would not hesitate to return in the future if I have other items to sell. I would recommend Pacific Jewelers to anyone interested in an honest appraisal and/or sale of personal valuables.
