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.

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.

I saw Paul for my engagement ring appraisal. I really appreciated him waiting for me since I got a flat tire right before my appointment. He took his time explaining the cost of the ring and what it takes to make a ring like mine and he seemed genuinely excited about explaining the process. He was fairly quick in his responses to me when I scheduled the appointment and was quick to send me the documents for my insurance. I really appreciate this experience because most professionals in jewelry talk down to people that don’t know anything about jewelry. Will definitely recommend him to my friends and will come back when I acquire more jewelry.

I was treated with complete courtesy and attention. All of my questions were answered to my complete satisfaction, and I felt that I was given the best possible price for the items I brought in. I would not hesitate to return in the future if I have other items to sell. I would recommend Pacific Jewelers to anyone interested in an honest appraisal and/or sale of personal valuables.
