I needed an appraisal for an engagement ring in order to put on my insurance personal articles policy. Paul was easy to get an appointment with and turned around the appraisal in about a day. Very professional. Would highly recommend.

Pacific Jewelry is the only place I will go to from now on. He is extremely informative and helpful with all of the evaluations. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking to sell or get evaluations for what they have . Don’t waist your time at other locations. This will be the best place you will find.

Paul was very knowledgeable and helpful evaluating my grandmother’s jewelry and educating me on the quality and the current market, especially since I walked in knowing absolutely nothing. He was nice and professional and was flexible with my schedule too. I will definitely be using Paul in the future and highly recommend him.

Oct. 16th, 2025: My first time ever going to such an establishment, and Paul was AMAZING. He was open, patient, and didn't try to deter me in any direction: Which attributed to me feeling his sincerity and honesty. He simply answered my questions and told me what material was legit or not + everything was out in the open, the machines, calculator, and etc.. Normally I'd shop around, but his energy was enough that I didn't feel I was being cheated and should visit others. Will definitely recommend to others!

Paul of Pacific Jewelry & Watches is a consummate professional and highly recommended. I visited his office for a ring appraisal-- Paul was super helpful and patient in walking me through the appraisal process, what factors establish the value of a ring, and took time to answer all of my questions along the way. I will be using Pacific Jewelry & Watches for future appraisal needs, and have no problem recommending him to family and friends. Thank you Paul!

I just sold a decent amount of silverware and gold with Paul at pacific jewelry. Not only did he give me a great price but he was an even better person. 10/10 would recommend anyone to come see Paul if they are looking to sell some jewelry or anything of value.

Paul was super helpful and informative in describing the cost of my pieces and why their values were what they were. I had two very different pieces of jewelry that he was able to give me the values of. He told me what the gem was on a necklace, the necklace’s money worth in gold, and on another piece he was able to run it through a machine to tell me the gold percentage (since it wasn’t stamped on the piece like it usually is.) He appraised both pieces that I brought and I only sold him one. He did not charge me for his time. I am not familiar with jewelry appraising. As my first experience, Paul was fantastic and super helpful in a realm where surely you could be scammed by someone else. Based on our conversation and his in-depth explanations - I feel very satisfied with his appraisals on my pieces and it matches up with what I expected going in. He was also sure to answer any questions I had. One tip for people new to this: I believe he, and other Jewelry appraisers, will give you the material value. I don’t believe it accounts for things like “designers” or brands - but that was not a problem in my case nor is it a thing that most appraisers do to my understanding. It’s something to consider though if you believe you have a rare/designer piece that may be worth more than its materials. (I could also be wrong, so it’s extremely worth asking!)

Paul, the owner of Pacific Jewelry & Watches, is a wonderful appraiser. He is knowledgeable, professional, and customer-oriented. His fee is very reasonable, especially compared with other appraisers on the Westside. I have used Paul to appraise jewelry and sterling flatware, and will continue to use his services in the future. I highly recommend Paul.
