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.
