Why should you sell to Leo’s?

Safe & Simple Selling


Selling to Leo Hamel Jewelry & Gold Buyers is the safest and easiest way to sell valuables in San Diego. All transactions are confidential and secure. You’ll meet privately with one of our friendly buyers in one of our safe and secure jewelry buying offices. Depending on how many items you bring in, the entire process can take mere minutes. Once you accept our offer, a check will be written out to you and you’ll leave with money in hand. Please be sure to bring valid identification.

Not sure if your valuables are worth anything significant? Our friendly and professional buyers have the necessary skill to evaluate your valuables and offer you top prices. Whether it’s designer jewelry, vintage watches, something you inherited, or anything in between, bring it in to have it authenticated and evaluated! No purchase is too small and no appointment is necessary!

Honest & Knowledgeable Jewelry Buyers

Our professional buyers have the experience and knowledge required to evaluate your valuables. Other San Diego jewelry stores that buy unwanted valuables will group your pieces together and try to offer you a price based on the lowest karat or carat weight. At Leo Hamel Jewelry & Gold Buyers you can be certain you will receive the highest payout. Regardless of what you bring in, we evaluate each piece individually. The entire evaluation process is performed right in front of you, so there is no hidden activity to potentially decrease the value of your items.

We’ll always be honest with you when it comes to selling certain items. If our database shows now is not the right time to sell, and that you might make more money by holding off for a while, we’ll be sure to let you know. You’re helping us by selling items we can display in our jewelry store, so we’re more than happy to help you make the most money possible.

Highest Payout When You Sell Valuables in San Diego

All offers are based on current market value. Other San Diego jewelry buyers offer you prices based on the melt value of your items, but we take every detail of the piece into consideration to ensure you get your money’s worth. Offers are based on karat, carat weight, gemstone type, rarity, history, condition, and other market values. Premiums are offered on certain brand name items, precious stones, and precious metals – especially when we’re in dire need of them for our retail store. Typically, you’ll also receive a higher overall offer if you provide the original box and papers to verify your items’ authenticity when it comes to designer or big-name brands.

What can you sell to Leo’s?

We will buy your old or broken jewelry, custom jewelry, vintage/antique jewelry or designer and fine jewelry, diamond engagement and wedding rings, and fine gemstone jewelry. We buy most fine watches that are vintage and modern. Additionally, we buy gold and silver coins, bullion, scrap gold, silver flatware, and antiques and collectibles!

Jewelry, watches, antiques and other valuables can hold sentimental value, so it can be hard to let them go. Maybe you have some old silver flatware that once belonged to your grandma. Or maybe you have a wedding ring from a previous marriage. Perhaps you have your grandfather’s vintage watch. No matter the circumstances, you will have all the time and privacy you need to make your decision. You will not be pressured or persuaded to sell your valuables- the decision is entirely up to you.
