Our Process

How We Evaluate Your Items

At Pacific Jewelry Buyers, we carefully evaluate each item based on its condition, material quality, and craftsmanship. For jewelry with gemstones, we assess the quality of the stones, including cut, clarity, color, and carat weight. We also verify metal purity by checking for stamps, conducting tests for gold and silver content, and examining overall wear to ensure accurate valuations.

Setting the Fair Buying Standard

We are available by appointment, with same-day appointments available. Clients can chose to come to our office in Los Angeles (Brentwood Neighborhood) or we can meet you at home, at the office, or even your bank vault.

How it all began

Pacific Jewelry Buyers owner Paul Shikhvarger turned his passion for watches and jewelry into an enjoyable career and a thriving business. He first hones his craft by apprenticing under expert European watchmakers for several years, before studying at the GIA.

Prior to launching his own business in the Jewelry District of Los Angeles in 2006, he worked for an online jewelry business evaluating watches and jewelry. As his reputation grew, and his clientele expanded to include many residents of Los Angeles, Paul moved his main office to the Brentwood area, where he enjoys working in a dynamic, family-friendly community.

Paul was so helpful, honest and resourceful. I sold some jewelry and he gave me the best price out of four other vendors. He gave me his honest opinion on fixing a piece of jewelry in the most efficient way too. So glad I found him.

Paul was quick, efficient and professional. Very responsive via email. The actual in-person examination of the pieces took about 20 minutes. I received my full appraisal document the day after. Parking can be tricky in the area so make sure to plan ahead. I recommend emailing Paul to set up a appointment. Thank you Paul!

I did my research about selling jewelry, talking to a few people via phone to get an idea of what I could expect before calling Paul. Had a very positive experience with him and thought he provided very fair pricing along with as much explanation and discussion as you need to be comfortable in your decisions. Highly recommend doing business with him. Thank you!

I recently visited Pacific Jewelry & Watch Appraisers & Buyers and had an outstanding experience. Before coming here, I went to two other places for an appraisal, but neither gave me the confidence or detailed documentation I needed for my insurance company. Paul was the only one who provided a truly accurate and professional appraisal. He took the time to carefully examine my jewelry, explained everything clearly, and made sure the paperwork met my insurance company’s requirements. His expertise and honesty really stood out. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable appraiser, I highly recommend Paul at Pacific Jewelry & Watch Appraisers & Buyers.

This is my third visit to Pacific Jewelry. I sold a small pair of vintage diamond earrings. Once again, Paul gave me a good price for my items and was friendly and professional. This visit was to his new location in Brentwood. Very convenient to the 405 freeway and close to the 10 freeway as well.
