Del Mar and North County
Selling Jewelry, Watches or Diamonds From Del Mar and North County
We are about half an hour from Del Mar and rather more from Carlsbad, at 907 6th Ave in downtown San Diego. If that is further than you want to drive, the Sell From Home kit is free, insured to the full value with no cap, and used most often by exactly this part of the county.
- Distance
- About 22 miles from Del Mar, closer to 35 from Carlsbad
- Drive
- Around 30 minutes from Del Mar outside rush hour, longer from further north
- Route
- I-5 south the whole way, exiting at Front Street or 6th Avenue for the Gaslamp Quarter.
- Transit
- The Coaster commuter rail runs down the coast to Santa Fe Depot downtown, which is a short ride or walk from us and avoids the I-5 entirely.
- Parking
- Reserved customer parking is available in the ACE lot across the street, directly opposite our storefront. Paid parking options are also available.
Coming down from North County, or not coming at all
This is the one direction where we genuinely suggest considering the alternative. The Sell From Home kit is free, includes a prepaid overnight label and is insured to the full value of the item with no cap; we make an offer within one business day of it arriving, you are paid the same day if you accept, and we pay the return shipping if you decline. If you would rather come in, the Coaster runs down the coast to Santa Fe Depot and skips the freeway.

Questions from Del Mar and North County
Is it worth the drive from Carlsbad or Encinitas?
For one modest piece, probably not, and we would rather say so. Use the free insured kit instead. For an estate, a watch collection or anything of real value, most people prefer to be in the room while it is appraised, and that is a reasonable instinct.
How does the Sell From Home kit work?
We send it free with secure packaging and a prepaid overnight label, insured to the full value with no cap. We make an offer within one business day of arrival, you are paid the same day if you accept, and if you decline we pay the return shipping. Call or text to start one.
Can I take the train instead of driving?
Yes. The Coaster runs down the coast to Santa Fe Depot downtown, which is close to us and avoids I-5 completely. It is a pleasant way to do it if you are not carrying much.
Is the Sell From Home kit really insured for the full value?
Yes, to the full value of the item, with no cap. It ships overnight on a prepaid label in packaging we provide. We make an offer within one business day of it arriving, you are paid the same day if you accept, and if you decline we pay the return shipping. It is the option we genuinely recommend from this part of the county for a single piece.
What if I want to be there when it is appraised?
Then come in, and take the Coaster if the freeway puts you off. It runs down the coast to Santa Fe Depot, which is close to us. Most people bringing an estate or a watch collection prefer to be in the room, and that is a reasonable instinct.
Do you buy during racing season, or is downtown impossible then?
We are downtown, not at the track, so the racing calendar does not affect us at all. The only traffic that matters on this route is the ordinary southbound I-5 afternoon build-up.

View Google profile ↗I had a wonderful experience, Kevin seemed very upfront and knowledgeable about what I was inquiring. The store was easy to access downtown and they even had parking spots for free for customers, which was great and convenient. The store itself was nice looking and professional. The experience itself was no pressure and no hassle. I have no complaints. I would recommend anybody that needed to sell jewelry or gold that they were trying to offload To check them out. Five stars would use again!
