5 /5 Ann McKinnell: I rarely write reviews, but I am thrilled with the service I received this week from Matt at Oceanside Jewelers. Matt was able to find me exactly what I wanted at a fraction of the cost of most retail jewelry shops. He is laid back, super knowledgeable and patient, the most patient person I’ve ever met. (I will add that I am not comfortable in most shops because of high pressure sales staff who are not jewelers and know very little about the jewelry they are selling.) I buy at Oceanside Jewelers because Matt is there to answer questions and show me items without trying to push sales. In addition, Oceanside Jewelers pays full value on gold! I have never found that offer elsewhere. I visited the shop recently to trade in my old, dated, and mostly broken pieces of gold jewelry for some new earrings and gently used rings in excellent condition that looked positively new. I am not wealthy, and am on a tight budget. I now own the gorgeous, high-quality diamond stud earrings I have wanted for 3 decades and chic, updated wedding rings. I could not be happier with my purchases. When you are at the beach, drop into the shop across the street from the main Oceanside library and have a look for yourself. My 16 year-old son came with me and he said it best: “You traded in junk for some very cool jewelry.” Yes, I did! Thank you, Matt. You are the best!
