At C. Blackburn Jewelers in La Jolla, we believe that you deserve to get the most money for your gold. There are so many people struggling financially today, that we consider it our obligation to help every seller get the highest possible cash payment for their gold items.
Â
Whether you want to sell a gold chain, necklace, or ring, a pair of gold earrings or a charm pendant, C. Blackburn Jewelers promises you a rewarding selling experience.
Â
We are able to pay more for gold jewelry because we don’t automatically appraise your items at the “melt down” price like many San Diego gold buyers. If we can resell your jewelry, we will pay you the appropriate premium price.
Â
If your gold jewelry is quite old and you’re not sure if it’s something collectors might want, you can rely on the expertise of our owner Carl Blackburn. He is a 2nd generation estate jeweler who can identify whether or not you have a true “treasure” in your hands.
Â
Selling is Quick & Easy
Â
1. Give us a call at 858-251-3006 or send photos of your jewelry with a text message at 619-723-8589. Carl will answer all of the questions you have and arrange for a convenient time for you to bring your gold items to our La Jolla jewelry store.
Â
2. Carl will examine your pieces, and inform you if the items will be melted down or resold. He’ll then provide you with a cash quote for each piece.
Â
3. You can accept the cash offer and be paid immediately, or decline the offer with no questions asked. There is no pressure to sell your gold to us.

I recently sold a lot of fine jewelry that I had inherited from my mother. I chose C. Blackburn because I wanted the pieces to find new homes, rather than be melted down or taken apart. Carl careful inspected and considered each piece before pricing it. He explained the quality of the gold in each piece, the techniques used to craft the pieces, and what went into his pricing. He appreciated the sentimental value of the items and actually had buyers in mind for several of them. I felt that he gave me a fair price the first time I came in, so I returned with additional items to sell a few weeks later. I’d highly recommend C. Blackburn for selling and buying estate jewelry.
I met with most of the Jewelers around La Jolla and no one was as knowledgeable or as helpful as Carl was to me. Carl Blackburn is a straight shooter and someone you can trust. C. Blackburn Jewelers will forever have my business and recommendation to all of my network for any future jewelry business.
Being at a downsizing stage of life, I decided to sell as much of my jewelry as possible, and luckily, I came across C. Blackburn Jewelers. I was scared of getting scammed and cheated. Carl had me sitting with him while he examined and evaluated my jewelry. He did not take it into a back room and tell me to return on another day.
He worked methodically and very professionally, answered all my questions, kept my expectations realistic, explained what he was doing as he worked. We also had a very pleasant conversation – he is down-to-earth, genuine, and friendly. I trusted him without hesitation. I was very pleasantly surprised by the outcome and felt I was very fairly treated. I was relieved that the process was stress-free, thanks to Carl’s very professional manner and his genuine friendliness. I recommend him highly, without reservation.
We had a wonderful selling experience with Blackburn Jewelers. We had about 50 pieces of jewelry from our mom’s estate to sell, and owner, Carl Blackburn, was so amazing. He was professional, courteous, and informative. Many jewelry buyers will simply put all the jewelry on the scale, deduct out the approximate ‘gem’ weight, and offer the ‘melt’ value less their percentage. Carl took time examining each individual piece, and kept a notebook with the details and his offer price. He verbally detailed each piece letting us know exactly how he derived his offer price. He was very transparent and fair. At the end of the appointment, we left extremely satisfied with our sale, and very pleased with the overall experience. I highly recommend Blackburn Jewelers for all of your jewelry sale needs.
