Again, JP with "Leo Hamel" in Solana Beach has made another family happy. I have personally dealt with JP and "Leo Hamel" in the past and been very happy. My uncle lost his dad and I was helping him clean out his dad’s house and we all know how hard that is. His mom had a jewelry box 3 ft high with 8-9 drawers. Of course my uncle had taken out all the stuff that had sentimental and monetary value and was ready to let the rest go to an estate sale. I suggested lets take the box to JP and let him look at it just in case there was more value than we realized. Thinking the rest was costume jewelry he was hesitant. $1,850.00 later after JP had looked at it piece by piece and my uncle was very happy. I personally don't feel he would have ever gotten anything close to that at an estate sale because so often with so much jewelry at sales like this the only winners are the ones that buy and not the sellers. So, take the time to have JP or any of the "Leo Hamel" team look at anything you might want to sell. They give you a price with a smile and you can take it or leave it. We took it as I have now done for three...
Read moreJP and Leo Hamel are part of a great long time service team in San Diego! My father used to come home and give rave reviews about Leo's excellent customer service when shopping for Rolex or other fine jewelry, repairs etc, he'd tell us 'you don't always see good friendly and knowledgeable service' a reason he'd always go back to Leo. This was many many years ago and it's wonderful to see JP is now carrying on the service with a smile tradition in the north county. JP, thank you for your great, knowledgeable customer service and for being a part of San Diego's historic, friendly, knowable, no pressure...
Read moreI recently moved in this area and had some items I wanted to sell from my grandma. I googled the closest jewelry store to me in Solana Beach and came across this place! I've seen some commercials before so I figured might as well try it out and see how much bang I can get for my buck! The location was easy to find and I was buzzed in by a very friendly guy! I believe his name was Erny? Anyways, he was very thorough and even taught me a few cool facts about this history of my antique jewelry! Bottom line, I sold him a few of my things and was very happy with the amount...
