"If you've seen our commercials, you probably know that we sell 'vintage jewelry.' But what is vintage jewelry, really?" Leo Hamel, owner of Leo Hamel Fine Jewelers and Jewelry Buyers" href="http://www.leohamel.com/webuy.cfm">Jewelry Buyers, begins. "We like to think of it as 'previously loved.'" All vintage jewelry and preowned watches in Hamel's store start on the buying side of the company-customers sell unwanted jewelry and watches to Jewelry Buyers Facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/LeoHamelJewelryBuyers?ref=hl">Leo Hamel Jewelry Buyers, one-half of the Leo Hamel brand. Then, specialized staff sort through them to choose items of the highest quality to be sold in the Leo Hamel Fine Jewelers retail showroom in San Diego. These pieces look brand new, but the fact that they are actually "previously owned" dramatically shrinks the price tag for the new owner.

"Why would you pay full price for a piece of designer jewelry or an expensive watch, when you can come here and pay a fraction of the price for the same piece that looks brand new?" Hamel inquires. "No one but you (and your wallet) will know you didn't pay full price!"

While Mr. Hamel may have started his empire selling jewelry, buying it is just as important a priority these days. Leo Hamel Jewelry Buyers has opened eight locations conveniently located throughout San Diego County in Oceanside, Escondido, Rancho Bernardo, Solana Beach, San Diego (next door to the retail store), La Mesa, El Cajon, and Chula Vista. Customers can sell their unwanted valuables at these storefronts and will receive immediate payment. Unlike many places that advertise "quick cash for gold," the selling process is a comfortable experience at Leo Hamel's. Once a customer brings in an item that he or she would like to sell, a highly trained estate buyer examines it to determine if he or she can make an offer on it, and if so, the customer walks away with extra money on the spot.

An important aspect of this dual-purpose company is that Leo Hamel Fine Jewelers and Jewelry Buyers is a self-contained entity. Everything is done in-house to eliminate the middle man, thereby eliminating extra cost for the customer. When someone sells an heirloom quality necklace to Leo Hamel Jewelry Buyers, that necklace is transferred directly to the Leo Hamel Fine Jewelry showroom. No middle man markup, no hidden expenses.
