I had a really easy and pleasant experience working with Paul. He appraised my mother’s engagement ring and also bought two gold necklaces and an Omega watch from me. Everything was quick, straightforward, and low-stress. Paul was knowledgeable, professional, and easy to talk to, and he explained everything clearly so I felt comfortable the whole time. I felt good about the transaction and would definitely recommend him.

I had a great experience working with Paul at Pacific JeweIry & Watch. I had some sterling silver flatware. My husband and I did extensive research on silver spot prices and percentage of meltdown and without a doubt we got the best return. He is extremely knowledgable.I highly recommend Pacific JeweIry & Watch. I will definitely be a returning customer.

I had a very positive experience with Paul. He appraised two pieces of my jewelry. I had verified values with another appraiser. Paul offered me a much better price and also confirmed a bracelet which I thought was good costume turned out to be gold. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Paul's services in the future.
