left us a star review
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.
Had an amazing experience at Pacific Jewelry & Watches. Paul was very kind, knowledgeable and professional. He gave me very valuable information in regards to my pieces and honest advice. I felt very safe and comfortable and will definitely be coming back to him in the future. Highly recommend!

Had a fantastic experience at Pacific Jewelry & Watches. Paul was honest, professional and efficient. Paul assisted me with appraising an engagement ring and confirming all of its properties. He was very knowledgeable and I would go Paul again for any jewelry & watch needs.
Paul is a genuine and kind individual who provided exceptional assistance with a watch issue I was facing. Beyond solving my problem, I enjoyed an engaging conversation with him on various topics. I highly recommend Paul to anyone looking to sell watches or jewelry. His 5-star customer service is truly commendable!
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.)

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. 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.
