I am older now and no longer wear my watches, diamonds and gold jewelry as much anymore (it literally just sits inside my safe at home ‍. I decided to sell it and started investigating where to go to get an appraisal / to sell some of my pieces. I found "Pacific Jewlery Buyers" in Westgate, CA. I texted the number from google to Pacific Jewelry Buyers and asked if I needed to make and appointment ("mind you it was a week day", not to sure about needing an appointment on the weekend). Paul texted me back and said I wouldn't need an appointment and sent me the hrs of operation for the day. I then texted Paul pictures of the jewelry pieces that I wanted to get appraised and sell, he texted me back and said he was interested. I went to the shop and was pleasantly surprised! Paul was not only friendly but professional and informative. Paul broke things down to a science and educated me on the things that I needed to know about my jewelry (gold/diamonds) and much more. He offered me a fair price to buy my jewelry pieces from me. I left feeling satisfied and informed. I am glad I was fortunate enough to find this place, instead of having to go to multiple places and run around to sell the rest of my pieces. I will be back to bring the rest of my Jewelry "Pacific Jewelry Buyers" as well tell my friends and family! It feels good to build a relationship with someone you can trust in the jewelry industry.
