Over the past 2 years I have had to sell my jewelry to make ends meet. This business is by far the highest paying, most honest people I’ve yet to deal with! There is a business in front that will try to catch you as you walk by, but go ahead and get a quote from him if you like, but then make sure you get a quote from San Diego Jewelry Buyers...they will beat his price guaranteed and without knowing...honestly! You will not be disappointed guaranteed! I wish I would have found them 2 years ago! They are consistently better business!

I had some old gold jewelry that no one in the family wanted. I knew it would be difficult for me to sell online, so I started searching for a credible way to sell gold locally. That’s when I found San Diego Jewelry Buyers and Carl Blackburn online. All of the reviews were very positive. I called and scheduled an appointment for the next day. Carl was very patient and professional in answering my questions and tested the gold in front of me, explaining the process simultaneously. None of the pieces were singularly very valuable, but together they added up. And, I walked away with more cash than I estimated I could have gotten trying to sell the pieces individually online (and that would have taken hours!). The entire transaction was 15-20 minutes and I definitely walked away feeling that I had been treated fairly. Carl is highly professional and a pleasure to work with. My Mom lives on the East coast and is now sending me her old gold jewelry to take to Carl -- that’s how much we think of him. Thank you, Carl!

Update: Went back with Mom’s jewelry. As anticipated, Carl was exceptionally professional and Mom is happy, too! Thank you, Carl! I’m telling all my friends and colleagues about you.

After reading many reviews from happy customers of San Diego Jewelry Buyers, I met today with Carl Blackburn, founder and co-owner, to sell some old family jewelry. I was EXTREMELY pleased with Carl’s professionalism, and with the friendliness of Carl and his staff. Because of my great experience selling jewelry today, I look forward to meeting with Carl next week, to sell more unused family jewelry.

For quite awhile I had been thinking about selling some old gold jewelry that was broken and/or that I no longer wear, but I kept putting it off because I was not sure it would be worth my time and also I wasn’t looking forward to dealing with a buyer. I was really very hesitant because I have heard a lot of negative things about the places where you send your gold off in an envelope etc. However, I did some research on the internet and found nothing but positive comments about Carl Blackburn and San Diego Jewelry Buyers so I decided to visit SDJB even though I was not sure if my few broken pieces were worth their time--I could not have been more wrong! Carl was extremely nice and patient with my many questions and stayed past his usual closing time. It was a pleasure to deal with Carl and the amount I was paid for my gold was a VERY pleasant surprise. I have been handing out SDJB business cards to my friends and colleagues and highly recommend visiting Carl or at least giving him a call if you have any gold or jewelry to sell.

I researched many gold buyers and I settled on San Diego Jewelry Buyers due to their A+ BBB rating and many great reviews. It was a pleasant experience. I would highly recommend them to everyone.

After a few stops at some local Pawn Shops I got that feeling in the pit of my stomach, which we all get, that something was wrong!!! There was one pawn shop in particular that was definitely trying to pull one over on me!!!

My STORY: I came to San Diego Jewelry Buyers with small yellow folders which had been given to me by the above pawn shop owner. These small folders contained the gold I was trying to sell. Each folder had been marked with the karat of gold contained within. Carl took the folders and began opening them one by one placing them in small piles. Visually piece by piece he inspected the jewelry and to both mine and Carl’s disbelief most of the pieces were not what the pawn shop said they were. The folders that supposedly contained 10kt were actually 14kt!! Can you believe that???? Always go with your gut feeling!! It paid off for me! :-)

Carl Blackburn with San Diego Jewelry Buyers is very knowledgeable, kind and honest. It was a pleasure to have met him and I highly recommend stopping by to see him when you are looking to sell or buy jewelry!! Thank you Carl!



By BigFreezy – 05.21.2009

Excellent. Got a good price for my Rolex and Carl gave us the best service.



By NewToSD – 03.10.2009

Very knowledgeable, very straightforward and very easy to do business with. Would definitely recommend them to ANYONE looking to sell OR buy jewelry.



By Aaron – 03.07.2009

A Very Honest Buyer and a Very Pleasant Experience. I appreciated the time and attention I was given and the fact that the Gold will be re-sold in San Diego. It’s Going Green for Gold in San Diego, Awesome! This is my ONLY source for selling jewelry from now on, Thank You.



By Review Fo' You! – 01.22.2009

Recently I had the pleasure of doing business with San Diego Jewelry Buyers and I must say that it’s the best experience I have ever had! They really took the time to examine the items I had and got to know me as a customer as well! They provided me with a nice amount of money for the things I wanted to sell and it’s top dollar compared to many other places in San Diego. Carl Blackburn and his partner are very knowledgeable, kind, honest, and awesome to do business with. I will go nowhere else to sell my items and everyone else should do the same!



By rene p – 01.17.2009

I must say I had one of the most seamless and stress free resell experiences ever. I had a Rolex watch i needed to sell and felt nervous about being low balled which was not the case at all, Carl was very professional, honest and disarming! He offered top price for my Rolex and was very informative. I happen to live within a mile from the store and concluded our business in less than 1 hour. The nice thing also was his final phrase "Is cash okay? :=) Thanks Carl!



By azn_shorty_78@yahoo.com – 02.25.2009

Excellent, knowledgeable, helpful... and most points for being very entertaining. Carl was very personable, friendly, and also bought my jewelry for the highest rates. What he wasn’t able to provide me offers on; he gave me solid and helpful advice and tried to refer me to others who could help me out. Thank you again~!!



By Alisa – 12.21.2009

I went to see SDJB because I had a ring that was just laying around and I wanted to sell it. They were the first place I went to, I’ve never really sold any jewelry before and I’m glad I went to see them first. I learned so much about the selling and buying process. They were so helpful and even said they would offer me the same price although I wanted to look at other places. I went to about 4 other places; SDJB offered me the best price. I loved the service and I wouldn’t mind going back to see them again. Thank you guys so much.

San Diego Jewelry Buyers is Reputable and Extremely Professional
Christa D. – 12.11.2009

I recently moved to San Diego and had old gold jewelry that I wanted to sell. After speaking with Carl over the phone, I felt quite comfortable with their pricing strategy and therefore made an appointment. He was very professional and hospitable and I got a great deal on my gold. Definitely recommend going to him.



San Diego Jewelry Buyers is First Class
Robin L. – 10.10.2009

I had shopped many different buyers and had even sold some gold thinking I was getting a great price. After meeting with Carl I found that he truly pays top dollar and I will not go anywhere else. He was both friendly and professional and really took the time to look at my jewelry before offering a price. When I left his store I did not feel that I had just been scammed as I had in a previous transaction. Do not waste your time with anyone else. I recommend Carl to all my family and friends. Feel confident in the fact that you will get the best deal around!



San Diego Jewelry Buyer is excellent
Ben S. – 09.28.2009

I was looking to sell some gold jewelry for my wife and after talking with several people I came upon SDJB. Carl was extremely friendly and I was totally satisfied with the entire transaction. I would highly recommend SDJB to anyone.
Thanks Carl!!

Carl also has some beautiful jewelry for sale at excellent prices--I’m looking forward to returning to make a purchase!



Highly Recommend!! Don’t go anywhere else
Tanya B. – 06.18.2009

Fast, friendly and professional. I met with several other jewelry buyers first and will never make that mistake again. Carl will be getting my business from now on. San Diego Jewelry Buyers gave me the best price and the best experience. I HIGHLY recommend them.



Great Experience
Tanya T. – 05.07.2009

Very friendly, personable, and quick! I didn’t know what to expect when I walked into SDJB, but I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t get a creepy pawn shop feeling, and I feel like I got a great price for my bangle. The location was great because there was a parking lot across the street. I look forward in doing business with them in the future.



Honest Dealing...
Timothy M. – 12.22.2008

Carl bought some old junk gold jewelry from me and I found some new jewelry for my wife for Xmas! He offered me a fair price for my scrap and took care of me on an eternity band just in time for the holiday. Now I look like a hero, and still have cash in my pocket from the deal! Thanks Carl!



Selling your gold and sleeping at night
Jerry S. – 12.04.2008

When my wife requested I help her sell her gold, I spent two weeks reading reviews, sending emails and reading the fine print on out of state buyer’s websites. Out of all my inquires, San Diego Jewelry Buyers responded in a candid professional manner. We ended up doing selling our gold with them and we walked out knowing we did not get ripped off. They took their time, explained the process and paid more than we expected. If you’re still trying to decide where to sell you gold, I recommended you give SDJB a call and at least talk to them. Tell them your uncle Jerry sent you.



San Diego Jewelry Buyers Are Professionals
Steven G. – 10.06.2008

I got clued in to San Diego Jewelry Buyers by reading their sellers guide posted at the San Diego Luxury Pawn Shop Report. And I’m glad I did. No BS, just a straightforward honest appraisal of the Rolex I was selling, and a full explanation of why they were offering me that price. These guys are consummate professionals.



Highly Recommended Buyer for Designer Jewelry
Sara M. – 07.30.2008

I had did a lot of calling around before heading downtown to visit San Diego Jewelry Buyers to talk about an old art deco necklace that I wanted to sell. I have to say talking with them was a breath of fresh air. Rather than just talking about stones and gold weight, they went right into talking about the small company that made the piece, the design, and where they thought they could find a good buyer. I took advantage of their one month free loan, and eventually got a price at least 20% higher than other offers. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
