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.

My meeting with Paul of Pacific Jewelry and Watches could not have been better. I brought in a box of jewelry that I inherited but had no need for. Although the stones weren't real, the gold in some of this was, and I left Paul's office with a considerable amount of money. Paul was very pleasant to do business with, I think primarily due to his strong knowledge base in both metals and gems. He was informative, he explained how his tools worked, and what he was looking for. And in the end I got a bunch of money for stuff that I had no need for. This is a strong recommendation.

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!
