Sell Your Colored Gemstones with Confidence at Pacific Jewelry & Watches

Colored gemstones hold timeless beauty and lasting value. When you decide to sell your sapphire, ruby, emerald, or tourmaline jewelry, you want an expert who understands their worth and treats your pieces with care. At Pacific Jewelry & Watches, we buy colored gemstone jewelry every day, offering fair prices, immediate payment, and professional service.

Why Sell Colored Gemstones?

Fine gemstones never go out of style, but many sit unworn in jewelry boxes. By selling your colored stone jewelry, you unlock hidden value and give those gems a new life. Whether you own a sapphire engagement ring, a ruby necklace, an emerald bracelet, or a tourmaline pendant, we provide a straightforward process that makes selling safe and rewarding.

Contact Pacific Jewelry & Watches today for a consultation. Same day appointments are available.

What We Buy

We specialize in evaluating and purchasing a wide range of colored gemstone jewelry, including:

  • Sapphires – Blue, pink, yellow, and fancy sapphires in rings, earrings, and pendants.
  • Rubies – From deep pigeon blood rubies to lighter red stones, we buy ruby rings, necklaces, and heirloom pieces.
  • Emeralds – Vivid green emeralds from Colombia, Zambia, and beyond, in loose stones or finished jewelry.
  • Tourmaline – Pink, green, watermelon, and Paraíba tourmalines prized by collectors and investors.
  • Spinel – Known for its brilliant sparkle and wide color range, spinel often rivals rubies and sapphires in beauty.
  • Alexandrite – Rare and valuable for its dramatic color change from green to red, alexandrite jewelry is always in demand.
  • Garnet – From classic deep red to vivid green tsavorite, garnets remain a favorite among gem lovers.

Whether your jewelry is vintage, designer, custom, or estate, we recognize its value and make competitive offers.

How Colored Stones Are Valued

Not all colored gemstones are created equal, and their value depends on several key factors:

  • Color – The most important feature. Rich, vivid hues with strong saturation command the highest prices.
  • Clarity – Fewer inclusions usually increase value, though some gems (like emeralds) are expected to have inclusions.
  • Cut – A precise cut maximizes brilliance and enhances color.
  • Carat Weight – Larger stones are rarer and more valuable, especially when paired with excellent color.
  • Origin – Stones from renowned sources, such as Burmese rubies or Colombian emeralds, often sell for a premium.
  • Treatment – Untreated gemstones hold more value than those with enhancements or synthetic alterations.

At Pacific Jewelry & Watches, our certified gemologists and appraisers carefully evaluate each stone using these criteria to ensure you receive an accurate, transparent offer.

Paul, the owner of Pacific Jewelry & Watches, is a wonderful appraiser. He is knowledgeable, professional, and customer-oriented. His fee is very reasonable, especially compared with other appraisers on the Westside. I have used Paul to appraise jewelry and sterling flatware, and will continue to use his services in the future. I highly recommend 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.
