Recently, my sister helped me dig through all the assorted crap in my closet and I came across an…read moreounce of silver that was given to me by my bestie's dad upon my graduation from high school. It was engraved with my name, my high school and year of graduation, and it was tarnished because at the time it was given to me, I couldn't resist touching it. It wasn't something I was particularly sentimental about and my sister decided we should try to sell it to a pawn shop. We kind of forgot about it but then one day we were driving around with nothing to do and she said let's go home and get that silver and sell it today. So naturally, I did what one would do and turn to Google for help. I asked the internets where I could sell silver in Clairemont. There used to be a pawn shop nearby but they closed. So I didn't know where to go. It sent us to PMR-Precious Metals in UTC. We were surprised to find ourselves at a fancy business complex and we felt out of sorts, jankily dressed as we were, but we followed the signs to the business on the second floor. We ended up in a shared office space situation and the friendly dude at the main desk called someone from PMR to see if they could meet with us. Now, in our defense, we thought we were going to be at a pawn shop, not a rather upscale-looking metals trading company. Nevertheless, we were greeted by the very friendly and kind Zoe, who invited us into her office despite having an appointment lined up with another customer due to arrive soon. Zoe was the bomb. She looked over our rather paltry item, consulted via phone with colleagues, and ended up offering us a price for our silver. Note- engraved pieces of bullion are less valuable than non-engraved ones, so keep that in mind. However, we were pleased to accept the price she offered. She was just so kind and welcoming and we were delighted by her customer service. We rifled through her candy stash and she also offered us beverages and a lesson in the buying/selling of precious metals and gems. Well, Zoe is the true gem of PMR! Thank you for your help and customer service!! A few notes- best to make an appointment with them before you randomly show up, to avoid having to wait. We got lucky. Also, we ended up paying $6 for parking which was a bummer and came out of our silver earnings, so be sure to ask if they validate parking. We just forgot to ask. Overall, PMR is top notch and Zoe is the diamond. I'll definitely bring any jewelry to them when I'm willing to part with my heirlooms!

I researched Precious Metals Refinery prior to making an appointment to sell a large quantity of…read moresterling silver jewelry and all of the positive reviews were completely accurate. The manager Zoe was professional, transparent, and thoroughly explained the entire process. She brought in help to handle the large quantity of items and Brian and Casey were professional and friendly and helped expedite the process so it was completed in the alloted time. The office building was very beautiful and secure and had a welcoming atmosphere. I am very satisfied with the price I was offered for my silver and received a check right then and there once I accepted their no pressure offer. Making an appointment worked out well as I was called in almost immediately. I highly recommend Zoe, Casey, Brian and Precious Metals Refinery at Eastgate Mall in San Diego!

I saw a birthstone toi et moi ring on Ms. Hailey Bieber and I knew that's exactly where I wanted to take inspiration from. I found the same style, but in my daughters' birthstones, on Diamondful's Etsy page. After reading through reviews, I wanted to make my purchase here. My husband had his reservations about ordering something so expensive online, so we ended up going to a local jeweler. The local jeweler said they would be able to make the same ring for a similar price, so we considered it. However, when I went home to inspect our quote, I noticed that the aquamarine would be an imitation stone. After some light research, I learned that imitation stones can be made of plastic. At that point, I honestly felt deceived, because the jeweler didn't take the time to educate my husband and I on what we would be potentially buying. If we are going to purchase a piece of jewelry that is supposed to commemorate 7+ years of marriage and our 2 kids, it shouldn't have plastic in it. I told my husband that my gut told me we should go online, so he told me to reach out to Diamondful. I messaged Armin and within the first hour, I knew I made the right choice. Armin is extremely fast and efficient in communicating. He's exceptionally knowledgeable and honest when it comes to quality, durability, aesthetics, and practicality. He's also patient and thorough when educating clients like us (very limited jewelry knowledge). We are also so appreciative of his generosity, as he passed on his savings to us for one of the stones to keep us within our budget. The passion he has for his work is really evident in the customer service that he provides. Thank you so much Armin! It was a pleasure working with you and we can't wait to do it again soon!
