Why Sell to Us?

At Leo Hamel’s, we understand that the decision to sell your valuable may be highly sentimental. Some customers come to our store to sell a family heirloom and we never pressure them into selling until they are fully confident in their decision.

We are different from other San Diego jewelry buyers: we will evaluate a piece of jewelry as a whole. Other might offer you the price of just the scrap gold it contains. There is a reason why we do it the way we do: we need quality vintage jewelry and pre-owned watches for our own jewelry store. If you have a beautiful piece of jewelry or a pre-owned watch, we will evaluate them as such and offer a competitive price. We will then refurbish the pieces so they can be bought and cherished by someone else. In that way, we make sure your heirloom is preserved.

We also buy broken or damaged jewelry, scraps of gold, and even watches that are not running. So even if your jewelry is no longer beautiful, bring it in! We will find the value in it.

You may have a certain amount of loose diamonds you bought as an investment. If you decide to sell them to Leo’s, your investment is sure to pay off! Bring your loose diamonds to us and our in-house Graduate Gemologists will inspect the carat, clarity, weight and other properties. They will provide you with an evaluation on the spot and offer a fair price.

Leo Hamel’s jewelry store takes great pride in offering a stunning selection of vintage engagement rings. That is why we are willing to offer a fantastic price for your engagement ring. We specialize in fine jewelry designers and always go an extra mile to acquire a beautiful piece of superb quality.

Sell Swiss and German Watches

If you have an unwanted Swiss or German watch, we would be happy to take it in! We need top-quality watches to recondition and offer to our jewelry store customers. That is what motivates us to offer the best prices to you – the seller. We’ll take the worry out of the selling process and make you feel confident in the decision to sell. Parting with an heirloom watch can be very emotional, and we feel it is our duty to provide sympathy and support.
