I was recently engaged and my Fiancée surprised me with my dream ring from Collins Family Jewelers!…read more I began my hunt for my ring just about a year and a half ago. I discovered Collins from just walking around a plaza I frequented often. I actually had just walked out from a terrible experience at Daniel's just a few doors down and decided to check out Collins, not thinking anything would come from it. Boy, I am so glad I decided to walk through their doors. My first experience was with Chelsea. She was amazing in every way and I can't recommend her enough. Not only did she show me a variety of rings but she also educated me about them in a way that wasn't biased. They are family owned, have amazing prices, and great variety. I have recommended my close friends to this establishment already and can't express how glad I am to have my forever ring from Collins. My Fiancée said the process of getting my ring was smooth and easy. I will definitely recommend everyone I know to come here for years to come. Truly I have no words. Thank you so much Collins family!

Walking out after just cleaning and adjusting my grandpa's watch to fit me and I cannot say enough…read moregreat things about Collins Family Jewelers -- this review is long overdue as my family has been lifetime customers. Between our family of four, we've had several engagement rings, wedding bands, special gifts and more purchased at Collins. First and foremost, they are seasoned experts of their craft. Their deep knowledge across their entire family and extended team runs generations deep. They have such a warm and welcoming atmosphere -- there's so much energy in the room everytime I find myself popping by. The team is so sincerely upbeat and kind. Their craftsmanship, service, and care is outstanding -- they will take care of you like you are family, you are not just a number here. Their selection of jewelry will make you wish you just won the lottery and best of all you are truly shopping and supporting local! Cannot recommend them enough for your jewelry purchases and upkeep!

I visited this business to obtain a buyout offer on a GIA-certified 1.6 ct G VS2 heart-shaped…read morediamond ring and showed a written appraisal with a replacement value of about $26,000. Before even examining the ring, the male representative reviewed the appraisal and said, "You're not expecting to get $26,000 for this ring, are you? The hardest part of my job is telling people they'll only get about 10%." He discussed lowering expectations before actually looking at the diamond. After a brief inspection, I was offered $3,000. Referencing a percentage of the appraisal made the offer sound reasonable, but insurance appraisals reflect replacement cost, not actual market pricing for GIA-certified diamonds. After I declined, I was asked what I hoped to get, which felt more like negotiation than valuation. I was polite and not pressured to sell, but the process left me uncomfortable with how the offer was framed. It had a very very "pawn shop" feel to it. I recommend anyone selling a certified diamond obtain multiple offers and educate themselves before accepting a first number.

The customer service extended by Donald was top notch! So much so that I've added him to my list of people that I give lasagne and tamales to! The location is easy to get to, parking is across the street and the building is safe. They are up on the 4th floor of a historic building! If you need honest, trustworthy coin buyers and enjoy good company this is the place for you! 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone that ends up with an abundance of coins and you aren't sure where to start! Donald spent time with me so I knew what to look for so we both didn't end up wasting our time. Their office is small but cozy, they also have a conference room so you can sit back and watch the process of how coin buying works!

The team is knowledgeable, friendly, and transparent about pricing, which is exactly what I look for when I'm parting with valuable pieces or adding to my collection. The selection in the store is the best in town, imo, they have a fantastic range of coins in excellent condition, and the prices are really reasonable for the quality you're getting. I've picked up a few rare finds here as well and always leave feeling like I'm getting great value. The location in the Gaslamp District is also a huge plus. It's right in the heart of San Diego, surrounded by plenty of shops, restaurants, and a vibrant atmosphere. Whether you're just browsing or looking to make a purchase or sell, it's a great spot to stop by. If you're in the market for coins, whether to buy or sell, San Diego Coin Buyers is definitely worth checking out!

We booked an…read moreappointment based on their long list of 5-star ratings, and specifically chose Fay due to her positive reviews. When we arrived we were handed off to David (the owner) with no explanation. The appointment felt rushed and impersonal from the start. David didn't ask basic questions like our names, budget, or where we were in the process, and offered little guidance. We are early in the process, so I was hoping to try on different styles to get a sense of my preferences. But after trying on just a couple rings there was no effort to understand my priorities or suggest alternatives. I felt like I had to push just to see more options. Our 2PM appointment was essentially over by 2:05PM. I left feeling sad and disappointed that such an important and special moment was handled with so little care. Before going here, I recommend looking at the other 1 star reviews -- they are honest and I should've listened.
