Established in 2007.
Pacific Jewelry & Watch Appraisers and Buyers was founded by Paul Shikhvarger GG in 2007 in jewelry district Los Angeles. In 2012 the business relocated to Pacific Palisades, because a lot of the clients were concerned about security and did not want to deal with traffic. Overtime the business has grown to 3 locations: Pacific Palisades (been main), Westlake Village and Beverly Hills.
