First time getting a jewelry appraisal and left with more than I expected! Patrick was…read moreprofessional, detailed and created a learning session for my friends and I. Three of us went in to obtain a neutral appraisal for diamond studs we purchased from a questionable jeweler. For background, jeweler did not provide GIA certificates after multiple contact attempts. Patrick explained every step of the process and genuinely took his time to teach us and answer our questions. As suspected, the quality of our studs was not as expected. Patrick was helpful in providing guidance as to how to approach the jeweler. Given the urgency of our situation, he kindly provided finalized appraisals sooner than expected! Value of service absolutely exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Patrick! Looking forward to our next appraisal with our upgraded studs.

I've never posted a review and been haunted by guilt for delaying in doing so. Gary appraised our home in a highly professional and personable manner. You will never find a nicer guy who has this degree of expertise. He was a wealth of information. I was highly satisfied with his service and my only regret (aside for my delay) is that I only had one property to be appraised by him. He is a pleasure to work with.

I had full confidence in Doug upon first speaking with him, and I'm happy to share that Doug proved himself every bit as personable, competent and reliable as I had hoped from reading other reviews.

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. From my experience Paul is honest and has integrity and that is a rarity in the jewelry business! What a great experience & what a great guy %
