es l b a alu v y m s? l l e ’ s l e y h m a W h o to le Why sell to strangers who set up temporary camp in a hotel and leave the next day when you can bring your valuables to a name trusted in San Diego for 32 years?

Many of these hotel buyers will melt your jewelry down, regardless of whether it was unwanted scrap or a precious family heirloom. At Leo’s we try to our best to find your old jewelry a new home by refurbishing then reselling it in our showroom.

Our friendly Graduate Gemologists are extremely knowledgeable about jewelry, diamonds, and precious metals so you can be assured that you’ll be offered the highest amount possible.

FRIENDLY HONEST CARING

LEO HAMEL FINE JEWELERS AND JEWELRY BUYERS

Sometimes selling your old or broken jewelry, antiques, or collectibles can be an emotional task. We are sensitive to each customer’s situation and never stoop to pressure tactics to close a deal. Honesty is our policy, because we want to make you a customer for life—not just for one transaction!

The process is simple and confidential. And you’re in the driver’s seat – if at any time you decide not to sell, you simply take your items and leave. Or let us serve you a cup of coffee and a snack while you think it over. Stop by and see how easy it is to turn your unwanted valuables into cash! No appointment is necessary.

NEW CAR NEW WATCH NEW HOUSE NEW YOU There are many reasons that people choose to sell their valuables. Maybe you are buying a new car or have a remodeling project at home.

Maybe you’d just rather have the extra money to spend than an outdated accessory in your jewelry box.

If the jewelry or watch you used to wear no longer delights, bring it to Leo’s, where we’ll pay you the highest possible price. We buy all kinds of valuables from jewelry to watches, scrap gold to bullion, fine art to coins. Whether you have no use for the item or simply need some quick cash (or both!), it’s a smart move to sell while prices are high—think of it as your investment finally paying you back!

s n a o L l a r e t colla At Leo Hamel Jewelry Buyers, we offer luxury collateral loans of $2,500 and over. A luxury collateral loan is a one secured by portable valuables such as jewelry, watches, art, or gold and is advantageous for a number of reasons.

First, you don’t have to give up your precious item forever—you get it back when you repay the full amount of the loan plus interest. Taking out a collateral loan prevents you from tying up your credit cards or lines, and you don’t have to complete a credit application.

And collateral loans with Leo Hamel Jewelry Buyers are always strictly confidential—no one ever has to know, not even your banker.

Our 4-month luxury collateral loans can be renewed every four months as long as the accumulated interest is paid. Give us a call or come in today to discover how a collateral loan can help you achieve your financial goals without having to relinquish a treasured keepsake!

No appointment is necessary.
