Reviews of Hawaii Estate & Jewelry Buyers
Kathy Fujiwara
I haven't had much experience selling jewelry and wasn't sure what to expect. My experience, however, was great. I was educated a bit about the process, quality, and value of my items which provided some assurance. I feel I received a fair amount for my items and was satisfied with the transaction. I'd used them again and recommended you check them out if you're looking to part with some jewelry.
Debby Heyd
I was clearing out some old storage bins and found an old set of forgotten silverware. Since my polishing days are over I looked for someone to assist me. From my first call with Erin I knew I was dealing with someone very professional. Erin and Moshe are very gracious and knowledgeable and it was a pleasure doing business with them. I highly recommend them.

Whether it’s looking for a diamond wedding band or finding the perfect pair of earrings for a loved one, Moshe and the Hawaii Estate & Jewelry Buyers team will make the process enjoyable and effortless. For some people, shopping for fine jewelry can be intimidating and overwhelming. But that’s not the case with HEJB. The warm and professional staff answer all of your questions and provide sound recommendations when selecting that special piece.
If you haven’t done so already, be sure to check out Moshe’s Instagram account: @diamondguy808. His high-quality pieces, integrity, and commitment to excellence truly set him apart from the rest. Choose HEJB… you will not be disappointed!
Cindy Schoenhardt
Moshe and his employees are fabulous and honest, which is a rarity these days.
Moshe goes out of his way to let you know the process of what is going to happen.
Very respectful of the items, and their meaning to you. Very fair in price and receiving your payment.
I will be doing business with him again in rhe future.

Was reading ALL Hawaii Estate & Jewelry Buyers reviews and their mission statement. It is ALL true on their feedbacks and so HAPPY I decided to called. Moshe and Erin, "MAHALO NUI I LOA" and for giving all you give, for doing all you do, and for CARING HOW YOU CARE! Strong spirit of ALOHA on a personal and business aspect and thank you for answering ALL my questions and concerns with HONESTY, PATIENCE and with NONJUDGEMNTAL COMPASSION! TRUE TO THEIR WORDS!
Jenny Cole
Above and beyond customer service. Everything from making sure I arrived at my appointment un-rushed, to offering me water and parking validation when I left. Very knowledgeable about engagement rings and wedding bands. I got everything I needed. What was already a very stressful day, was only eased by coming here.
Priscilla Sullivan
Moshe is friendly, hospitable and very well informed. He advised me on what jewelry was good and what were costume jewelry. He even offered to fix an old piece from my mother that no longer fit and needed polishing, if I wanted. Best of all he gave me a fair and good price for my jewelry.
Kawehi Thiravong
Moshe and Erin are true diamonds in the rough. They were straightforward, knowledgeable, and very generous with their offer. I would highly recommend this business to anyone needing to liquidate their jewelry and/or estate items.
Ann Mahi
The jewelry is exquisite and always of such high quality. I have purchased several Mings items and am so very happy with each piece. The staff is very knowledgeable and provides excellent service each time I order online or visit in person. This is truly a place you can trust for beautiful jewelry.
Arlene Abe
First of all, speaking with Erin was awesome. She was very informative and I felt an instant connection with her. I did not want to inquire any where else after Erin made me feel so comfortable and ensured me that I would receive the best care ever. My mom and I finally met Moshe and felt very comfortable. We advised him that we had little to no knowledge about the items we brought in. Moshe advised us to not worry and that he will help us. He also gave us suggestions of what to do with the other items he was not interested in. He is very professional, helpful and trustworthy and I would highly recommend Hawaii Estate & Jewelry. Best place with the best service!
Morris Broughton
I was dubious about purchasing a high dollar valued Rolex watch but Moshe reassured me and his expert help put me at ease with the transaction, since I am living in Vancouver Canada. The item was shipped on a Tuesday and I cleared from customs on the Thursday. The transaction was seamless and the after sales with a personal phone call was very much appreciated. I will 100% recommend family and friends. I also will personally meet with him on my next trip to Hawaii. I look forward to doing business with you again.
Melissa Walton
Last week I visited Hawaii Estate & Jewelry Buyers in order to sell a diamond solitaire ring. Before making an appointment I spoke with Erin about the ring, paperwork and value. That way I knew exactly what to expect out of my appointment. I met with Moshe when I arrived and my transaction was prompt and seamless. Honestly, I was very thankful that they were both so kind and welcoming. I would not hesitate to purchase or sell jewelry here. Trustworthy and good people can be hard to come by. Thanks again, Melissa

I had some family heirloom jewelry that was just sitting in boxes. I took them to Moshe and his team at Hawai’i Estate & Jewelry buyers. I had a great experience with the team and Moshe treated me so kindly. Listened to my stories about the jewelry and was very respectful that I was parting with pieces that meant something to me, not just potential money for him. Highly recommend going to them!
michelle mak scott
Moshe and his team are very professional and I highly recommend them! I needed an insurance appraisal and they were able to fit me in very quickly. On top of that, they were extremely responsive to a follow up request from my insurance underwriter. They have lots of COVID-19 protocols to keep everyone safe during these trying times. Thanks again!
Michael Riese
This was a five star experience from beginning to end.
My first exchange was with Erin, who was warm and very helpful. She responded to my email within minutes, and an appointment with Moshe was set for the same day.
Moshe was extremely gracious, and I was struck by his knowledge of watches and watchmaking. We had a great conversation about both - btw, one of my ancestors was in the watch and diamond trade, so this has special significance for me - during which time Moshe also explained what went into his decision process as he appraised my items.
I was quite pleased with the outcome, and, if the occasion arises, most certainly will connect with Moshe again in future.
Raina Taparra
Erin is great! She made me feel welcomed the moment I walked through their door. Professional service with ALOHA! I highly recommend this business to take care of your estate and jewelry sales. No matter where you are on the Island, please make the drive out to the Century Square building. 5 stars to the owner who I was told is not only a great leader but also a wonderful person.
Jill HIatt
I purchased a lavender jade bangle that was beautifully made and of exquisite quality. I was so grateful for Erin’s guidance and knowledge of the quality and value of the jade. I received the bangle in 2 days and was stunned at the beauty of the bracelet. I absolutely LOVE my new bracelet. It is even more beautiful than the picture on the website! Thank you, Erin for helping me to select this georgeous bracelet!
Annalyn Pasco
Wow what amazing experience to the Hawaii State Jewelry/ Diamond Guy. The staff is very friendly, kind and very professional. I highly recommend to everyone to go to Hawaii State Jewelry if you looking to sell your jewelry. I am satisfied on the outcome. Definitely will come back again.
kevin ishikane
Moshi is simply THE BEST. He was Honest and answered all of our questions. He understands the value of time and is very professional. He is also very polite and courteous. Definitely will use him again and recommend to anyone.

I didnʻt know what to do with my motherʻs jewelry collection. There was so much of it, and I had no idea if there was any value, besides sentimental, to any of it. And I didnʻt think I could get an appraisal without making an appointment and bringing every thing in, and of course paying for the service. I spoke to Erin, an incredibly nice, thoughtful, and sensitive woman, and she was more than happy to help me get started by just sending her pictures. I sent photos with details of about 30 pieces. She called me immediately and very patiently went through every single piece! She had me check for details as we spoke, and gave great instruction and education about my motherʻs collection. Unfortunately, there was nothing of real value...for which Erin was super apologetic...not HER fault! I was just happy to have answers, and to have worked with such a gracious person. I would definitely recommend this business for any estate jewelry or antique appraisals or sales. If I ever need to appraise or sell a significant piece, Iʻll definitely start with Hawaii Estate & Jewelry Buyers!
Annie Kamiya
Moshe took a huge burden off my mom's shoulders as she had no idea how to go about fixing and selling some of our family jewelry and heirlooms. From setting up the appointment with Nicole, who is lovely to work with and quick to respond, to actually sitting down with Moshe for an hour and going through every tiny piece of jewelry, this appraisal and selling process was so very efficient and extremely helpful. Like other reviewers said, you can tell Moshe loves what he does and cares about his clients. And, he was able to fix some of our most precious pieces so that we can continue to enjoy them and pass them down to the next generation. He took what could have been an emotional and disheartening experience and made it so painless and easy. Would highly recommend Moshe and Hawaii Estate & Jewelry Buyers, and will be going back to him again and again. :)

What’s amazing about this establishment is the response time. They are prompt in their replies, prompt in their time management to set up appointments, and they are prompt in providing their best service. When you first open the door you are greeted with warm smiles and such professionalism that you feel like you’ve known them forever. I had to get a gold chain repaired but wasn’t able to meet Moshe at that time. The lovely women working there helped me get set up and provided me an estimate of the time and price to fix my jewelry. Expecting it to take a week i was surprised to find out that he finished my repair the same day! I was so overjoyed and set up my appointment to pick up the jewelry. If you are wondering why appointments are needed it’s because this business is professional, secure and provides you with that one on one relationship to make sure your needs are met entirely. My pick up was smooth and quick. Moshe met with me and he was such a gentleman. I will for sure know where to get my jewelry fixed for now on because his prices beat out everyone i got quotes from!!! Quality over everything! Mahalos to Moshe and your team!!
Trevor Durham
My mother took some jewelry pieces to Hawaii Estate & Jewelry Buyers after making an appointment w Moshe. Moshe was forthright and fair with pricing. In addition, Moshe as well as all of his staff was amiable and kind. I’m fact, we spent a few minutes having a nice conversation. His office is extremely safe, clean and quite upscale.
I will definitely do business again!!!!

Erin is just a wonderful jewelry expert with aloha spirit! She explained to all the questions I had. II highly recommend their business and Erin. I will come back to them whenever I need!
Marchelle San Diego
I am happy that I reached out to Hawaii Estate & Jewelry Buyers. I have a ring that I want to sell. I sent a message on their website. I received a quick response and Erin called. I told her the situation and she handled it with kindness. She was honest and informative. She explained to me the process that goes into selling and purchasing diamonds. Erin is a gem! Her customer service is top notch and they earned my trust. I highly recommend Hawaii Estate & Jewelry Buyers.
Jami D'Amico
Went in to have a ring appraised and Moshe really was very knowledgeable and his staff very professional. Walked out of there knowing the value of the ring and even when the ring was made. I plan to go back soon to have my wedding ring put in to a new setting! Moshe showed me several samples of settings! I can't wait to go back and see what we come up with! So glad to have found a reputable place on the island to go to!
Kenny Chen
Had an engagement ring made by Moshe. He was excellent to work with and very quick to respond to questions and inquires. I had a loose diamond shipped to him to be set in one of his signature band designs. He made sure to really understand what I wanted the ring to look like so he could create a one of a kind piece. Don't be afraid to ask him what you want! He will give his honest opinion on what works best to create a lasting piece. I ordered and communicated with him and his team via email/text from Maryland and felt involved every step of the way.
P.S.
She said yes! My fiancé loves the ring and is so happy I went with a small business jeweler vs one of those large corporate jewelers.
Samantha Cayetano
Moshe and his staff were very kind and helpful. Having worked years in retail, first impressions are important. They hit all the marks. The office is beautifully done, simple yet sleek. The two office assistants greeted me; one offered me water, which I politely declined. Moshe is an experienced and knowledgeable jeweler. Having worked for a worldwide jewelry company myself, years prior, I felt confident, and relieved, because he knew his stuff. He carefully examined each piece with his loop and sorted them into a pile he wanted and didn't want. We negotiated, discussed what would sell and I left there a happy customer. His offer was more than fair. Other places would have tried to low ball or finagle their way out of it. They also have a huge inventory of luxury jewelry, watches and coins etc. So I always peruse their website for jewelry that is unique and of excellent quality. This place, Moshe and his staff, is the ONLY place I would go to for re-selling jewelry and luxury items.
EF Quinabo
I went to Hawaii Estate & Jewelry to sell my mother in laws wedding ring. Moshe was so friendly, we talked about family, health and all kinds of things. I was pleasantly surprised at his buying price. I knew what size diamond I had, but he far exceeded any offer I could have expected. Very fair, very friendly. The BEST!! Thanks Moshe for a very good deal.
Naomi Sirignano
If you are looking for an honest business then look no further, because Hawaii Estate & Jewelry buyers are top notch professionals. I made an appointment to sell some jewelry and Moshe was an absolute professional. He was honest and candid and I felt extremely comfortable with the transaction. Did I mention he is also a staunch supporter of the military?
I don't walk into many businesses and feel completely comfortable with the staff, but I did here. I recommend Moshe to anyone who is looking for a fair deal. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional and an all around great guy. Thanks Moshe!
Leilani Soon
1.26.15 - My mom and I visited Moshe today at Hawai'i Estate & Jewelry Buyers (HIEJB) and had a wonderful experience. When we arrived we were greeted warmly by Rachel (?) and asked if we wanted any coffee, tea, or water to drink. We were seen quickly and on time; they are appointment based so call ahead to reserve your space! They validate your parking as well. Besides being very kind and personable, Moshe really knows his stuff! He took the time to analyze my mom's ring, look up the market price, and made her a wonderful offer that she couldn't refuse. Since the stone fell out of the ring setting, he even offered to fix it for free. He is also very knowledgeable about jade; he can tell just by looking at a piece how much it's worth. I highly recommend him and his team for anyone who is looking to appraise, buy, or sell quality jewelry. You will not be disappointed. Thank you for a great experience Moshe! We will be back to visit you. :)
ernest chang
I had a very old Rolex and wanted to find the true value. They knew what the value was and that it was from the 60s. I had previously gone to a pond shop and they offered me 3X less then what it was actually worth. I highly recommend Hawaii Estate & Jewelry for their knowledge of fine jewelry and professionalism!
elisha hirakawa
Easy, convenient, friendly, knowledgeable, professional are just a few words to describe Moshe and his team at Hawaii Estate & Jewelry. I have never sold jewelry before and am in the process of moving and had some old pieces lying around. I did my research online and decided to go and see Moshe based on the great reviews and Moshe and his team live up to every one of them. I was very comfortable and feel that I did get my monies worth for the items that I sold based on the explanations given by Moshe. He is very thorough and actually encourages you to keep you jewelry or perhaps gift it someone. He wants to make sure that you are comfortable with the decisions that you make.
Highly recommended..didnt go anywhere else to compare...Happy and satisfied!
Hak Kim
Moshe was extremely courteous and gave me a hassle free experience. From the reception, estimate, and final payment him and his staff were so accommodating. If you are looking to sell don’t go anywhere else!!!
Kevin Leong
We went to see Moshe at Hawaii Estate and Jewelry Buyers and had a very honest experience.
By supplying us with a replacement value evaluation first, we got an idea for the market value of the items.
Before offering us a price, he took the time to explain the entire process to us. And then beat the other estimate we received by 15%.
We came away extremely satisfied.
Moshe also made us feel comfortable with our decision to part with our items.
Thomas Chock
Professional, friendly, classy, fair, these are some of the words that come to mind thinking about my experience with Moshe and his team. From their prompt responses to my online inquiries and use of the online scheduler, to the email reminders of my appointments, to the welcoming atmosphere of the office, to Moshe's way of maintaining a professional demeanor but at the same time being friendly and accommodating and answering all my dumb little probably annoying questions, the entire experience was excellent. And they validated my parking too, which was nice. Thank you!
Paolo Sanchez
I live in California, and Had a bunch of small Jade jewelry pieces. I was at a loss on what to do with them, and then I stumbled upon this business, the high reviews instantly sparked my interest. After communicating with Joanna, who is as nice as can be, and submitting my photos and eventually shipping my items to them, they responded with a more than fair offer. After accepting they mailed me a check that I received in 3 days. Awesome customer service and more than fair pricing. I definitely recommend them and will definitely do business again.
Toni Pedro
Elegant looking place. Moshe was so "real" for a jewelry buyer, although I'm not really sure what I expected. He clearly and concisely explained the process. I thought his assessment could have been higher ONLY because I had an emotional attachment to the jewelry. It was not something I wanted to do, so I suggest one really consider this action. Moshe also educated me about a few things. It was interesting. All in all a good experience...and it didn't take all day either. That's a good thing if you are a busy person. Thank you Moshe.
Karry Kiyonaga
I am on the mainland so difficult to find Hawaiian jewelry and was so excited to find an online shop that sells Ming's ...a staple of my Hawaii aunties :) I am looking for some vintage pieces to add to my collection and they have a pretty sizable inventory from which I found a gorgeous pendant that is perfect for my mother who is very petite. When inquiring about the piece the entire staff was so helpful and responses to my emails were almost instantaneous. The customer service is beyond professional, personable and friendly making me feel like I was part of their Ohana. I even asked them to keep a look out for another piece I am looking for and they responded immediately. I will definitely shop here again and highly recommend taking a look at what they have to offer (not just Ming's but a lot of contemporary jewelry as well). I just received the pendant and it is gorgeous... pictures don't do it justice. Thank you for everything!
Chelsea Davis
Moshe is incredible. You can tell he deeply cares for clients and goes the extra mile. I am so glad I found him on island to take care of cleaning and resizing my grandmother’s ring, as well as insurance appraisals. He did an incredible job and his professionalism is second-to-none. Will happily refer him to everyone I know.
PHILIP CUOMO
I scheduled an appointment with Moshe to sell some gold and diamond items. He made me a fair offer for the gold items and thoroughly explained the value for the diamond items. I decided to sell the gold and using some of the diamond rings create an engagement ring. We discussed in detail the style and design I had in mind. Moshe envisioned a design incorporating the diamonds and adding blue sapphires. Within a few short weeks the ring was completed and is absolutely stunning in style and eye catching pizzazz. He even arranged to have the ring independently appraised. All this at a very competitive price. Moshe and his staff are highly recommended!
evalani exner
Very pleased with the service received from Moshe and his team. They take great care in assuring my safety and security. Moshe explained thoroughly all my pieces and gave a fair assessment.
I would only used this company!
Choice Gimenez
I recently sold 2 watches to Hawaii Estate and Jewelry Buyers and Moshe and his staff were so wonderful to deal with. Moshe is very knowledgeable and professional and is always willing to answer any questions you might have. He also makes sure that you feel comfortable with whatever decision you make and does not pressure you in any way. I would definitely recommend them to all my family and friends when it comes to luxury watches and jewelry dealings.
Mahalo guys!
Richard Wong
I have gone to Moshe twice now to sell my families' jewelry. He does a great job explaining how he determines the value of each piece. I felt very confident that he was giving me the best price possible. I would recommend him to anyone looking to sell family heirlooms or unwanted pieces.
Lisa Rabe
Made an appointment and was seen that same day, great customer service from the girl at the front! Spoke with Moshe and he was very kind and took the time to appraise the VALUE of my items and negotiate from there. Very easy transaction and not pushy whatsoever. I just may be back for the diamond earrings he tempted me with!
Phillip Hannan
The staff is friendly, the business is professional. They provide a great service. I would recommend this business to anyone needing their services.
Bill Kesner
Moshe was very easy to deal with. Very nice guy! He explained about the differences in most jewelry out there. This is definitely the place to go to if you are thinking of selling your jewelry, wanting to purchase some fine pieces of jewelry, or to customize your jewelry.
Shannon Laa
1st impressions are everything and they went above and beyond. You're 1st greeted with a hello and warm smile from the staff and asked if you would want beverage while you wait. And if that wasn't impressive enough when I met Moshe he was on top of his game, he knew all the answers for every question I had and even went further in explaining to me in detail about what my chain was worth. What sold me was how he said I could probably make a little more selling outside on my own. When he said that I knew I was at the right place dealing with a good man. He was looking out for my best interest and that speaks volumes about a person's character. This is your 1 stop shop. Don't waste your time, don't waste your gas. The best deal you'll find is right here. Moshe and staff I wish you all a safe and wonderful new year have a good one
Lisa Alvarado
I had a such a wonderful experience with Moshe! Nice staff and very kind. He was very thoughtful and explained things clearly to make me understand how things work with their offices. He was kind, understanding and willing to answer questions if I had any at all. Truly recommend his office to anyone who is inquiring about their jewelry pieces.
Mahalo Moshe!
Cherlyn Tay
The staff at HIEJB are incredible to work with. I sent them an email with an inquiry, and was promptly scheduled for an appointment. Moshe is extremely skilled at what he does. He is straightforward and shares all the information he has gotten with you. He is passionate about his business and holds it with high integrity - definitely the man to go to for a great business deal.
AMERICO DILORETTO
Great selections at a great price especially jadeite rings with GIA certificate to assure you that you are getting the real deal 100%. Very friendly and Mahalo so much.
Kait C
Now, there are many reviews for this business that are outstanding, but let me assure they are correct. I was looking to sell a diamond ring from within my family. I had an appraisal report and sent an email to see if there was a chance to get an appointment. Email communication was quick (within hours for a successful business) and I secured an appointment within the week. Upon entering the building I was pleased to see how clean and professional the environment was. When I arrived to the office I was greeted warmly and offered water or anything else I may need. Moshe was very honest during my appointment and willing to explain the process of grading jewelry. My prior appraisal was incorrect and he was more than happy to ensure I was provided with facts, and put his own time to explain the process with no expectation of anything in return. I was at one point unsure if he was interested, but then quickly realized he was very kind and was putting no pressure towards my acceptance of an offer on his behalf. He made a fair offer based on the appraisal, and was a pleasure to work with. I HIGHLY recommend his services, and encourage this business as a first class experience. I was selling jewelry but please know that he also sells exquisite pieces or can help you find what you are looking for. He also has other means of social media! Definitely check out his instagram "diamondguy808" to see a fraction of what he offers. I WILL be back for further services. 🌺

I usually don't take the time to post a review for something, but I wanted to review Hawaii Estate and Jewelry Buyers; because my experience was all around excellent. The people I worked with were very professional, good communicators and straightforward. I felt that I received a good appraisal and price for my inquiry. If I have any reason to come back to Hawaii Estate & Jewelry Buyers I would not hesitate to do so, and definitely recommend others to take the time to meet with them in order to receive good and reliable advice on what to do with their personal jewelry or estate.
Jennifer Strahl
I had some broken and unwanted gold jewelry, a ring I wanted resized, and a couple items for which I needed insurance appraisals. I'd had appraisals done before, but not on Oahu - and I had no experience with selling. When I saw all the five-stars for HIEJB, I figured it was a good place to start.
The appointment process was super easy. I got to their office just before Moshe did, and everyone in the place was kind and welcoming. I didn't have anything particularly flash or significant - very modest pieces - and I wasn't meant to feel like I was wasting their time. I had already separated my gold by karats, Moshe weighed it and calculated a value for me that I thought was fair. The price he gave me for the appraisals was better than I originally expected, and the resize (sizing up, so adding gold) was quite reasonable. He offered to polish the appraised rings for approximately $30 each, but I declined.
Throughout the whole process, he was professional yet warm. Our first appointment took roughly 30 minutes, and he told me he would have my items ready by the end of the week.
I returned three days later to pick up my appraised items and my resized ring. He gave my resized ring a polishing job and I'd NEVER seen it look so lovely! Now I'm wondering just how much he could have made my other jewelry (which I told him not to bother with polishing) sparkle and shine! The resize work was excellent - infinitely better than an insurance repair job on my engagement ring I'd had done elsewhere. It fits perfectly and I'm extremely happy with the entire experience. I won't hesitate to return when I'm ready to invest in Ni'ihau shell lei or any time I need jewelry repaired or resized (or polished!)
Megan Pufpaff
I found some Jade jewelry marked Ming and I did some research. Found this business and sent them my items. They were super speedy to reply and they really appreciate what they do. I am so happy with my appraisal and Moshe and his team we’re just the best! Thanks again I will be definitely doing business with them again and hopefully making a trip to meet the team sometime!!
Heidi Maxwell
5 Dimond/5 Star Service. From setting up an appointment to meeting one on one with Moshe, every step of this experience was excellent. If you want to purchase or sell jewelry this is the place to go. I felt as a customer Moshe provided several options and gave me the freedom to decide with no pressure. It was very genuine and see myself making all my future purchases here :)
Phyllis AhHee
After going to 2 gold and diamond sellers, i was confused. Googled best place to sell gold and this place came up. Made an appointment via text and they called me almost immediately. All the previous reviews were spot on. Moshe was so helpful and knowledgeable on my jewelry. He was very understanding and patient and gave me more money than the others. I would go back to Hawaii Estate and Jewelry Buyers if i need to sell jewelry again.
Siobhan Mctiernan
I am so excited to receive a pendant for my fiancee who had lost this same design a year ago while surfing, he was heartbroken but thanks to Hawaii Estate & Jewelers, I will be able to surprise them with such a special gift!
This company really has gone above and beyond in trying to help work with me. They have helped get everything put into place to my exact specifications. It was a vintage Hawaiian crest that on their site was displayed with great pictures having accurate and color, clarity, and size/scale. While inquiring about the pendant they were very clear, prompt, and kind people to work with! Overall, they were able to restore the piece to mint condition and engrave it for a very reasonable cost!
Both their work and there products are quality, and I feel very lucky having found them since that seems to be a rarity to find a business like that today. I definitely recommend their company to anybody looking for unique and affordable jewelry and I personally would it be happy to do business with them again in the future!

I wasted to much time looking for a place to buy my jewelry. Moshe and his team superseded any and all expectations of places that buy jewelry. I highly recommend Moshe and his team. 5 stars without hesitation. As soon as you walk into his office you'll feel the same.
Leslie-Carol Ganther
The search is over...If you are looking for an honest, reputable business to sell your jewelry, HIEJB is the place for you. Moshe, the owner, carefully inspected each piece of jewelry and gave me detailed information about its current market value. He is extremely knowledgeable about jewelry and has a passion for what he does.
Although there was no pressure to sell, I decided to sell my pieces to HIEJB. Moshe gave me the fairest price out of all the businesses I went to. It was a price that I felt comfortable selling at because I knew what was originally paid for the pieces.
It was a pleasure working with Moshe and his staff. They are professional, friendly, and courteous. Moshe is genuine, honest and goes that extra mile in customer service. I highly recommend HIEJB and will be back with more jewelry to sell.
Rolanda Reese
I went to 3 different companies to get comparisons on the value of my mother's jewelry, and Hawaii Estate & Jewelry is by far above and beyond the others. I take that back... there is no comparison. You will be treated with the utmost respect, professionalism and most importantly, you will get the best appraisal and if you choose to sell, the best price for your jewelry. I highly recommend doing business with Moshe.
Cole Lannum
I purchased a (rather expensive) watch from them using Ebay. I was a bit apprehensive at spending so much money on something I couldn't see, but I decided to trust the Ebay ratings system (they were rated quite highly).
I received the watch (in record time given that it was coming from Hawaii to the east coast), and I had a few follow up questions on how to care for it.
These folks were simply amazing. Moshe and Nicole answered all of my (annoying?) questions and helped me with a couple of minor issues that I needed addressing. They were patient and unbelievably responsive.
I could not be more happy--not only with the purchase, but particularly with the customer service component. Truly the kind of business that deserves accolades. I would purchase something from there again without hesitation, and will probably visit them in person when I am next in Hawaii.
Mary Girard-anderson
Very knowledgeable and friendly. We had some jewelry that was no longer wanted as it was left over from previous relationships. Rather than sell it for scrap it was appraised and explained why it was worth what it was. Moshe was honest and professional to deal with. Definitely happy to have utilized this business and would recommend.
Zoe Abrams
I saw Moshe to get a ring appraised and he was so helpful and professional. He and his staff were polite and got back to me right away when I requested an appointment. I would definitely do business with him again!
Jeanett Dillion
I just have to let the world know how amazing Moshe and his team are! My mother passed away and left me a very large cache of jewelry and I had so much that I was completely overwhelmed with the death and everything that I was dealing with. I googled to look for a reputable jeweler to see what the worth of the jewelry was and also to redo 3 rings that were in dated settings. Well as soon as walked into his office and sat down to review the items I was put as ease with his professionalism!
I told him how I wanted it but gave him the freedom to design jewelry. They came out absolutey GORGEOUS AND TIMELESS! They will be passed down to my granddaughters for generations to come!
I will certainly use him again and absolutely reccomed him for all your jewelry needs!

Overall great experience. Came in an hour early, was able to see me early. Even though before looking at the diamond, he mentioned he would not be able to buy it due to the size, he took the time to review the diamond and the appraisal. Walked me through his appraisal and explained why he made his judgment. Very thorough and took the time to explain what he was seeing. He then went on to review my watch and see what would be an appropriate price he could give me. I was satisfied. Set up an appointment on their website and definitely stop by if you're looking to buy and/or sell.

Second time doing business with Moshe. His knowledge and expertise are top notch. He will take time to answer any questions and make sure you are comfortable with the transaction. On top of the great customer service you will not find better prices anywhere.

I just returned home from selling some of my grandmother’s jewelry and coins at HIEJBE. This was the first time I’ve ever sold items to a jewelry buyer so I wasn’t sure what to expect or how much I would be getting back. After reading all of the positive reviews on Yelp, I chose to come here.
Please note that they do not take walk ins. Initially they will ask you to text or email a picture of the items you wish to sell. If interested in seeing the items in person, Moshe will ask you to make an appointment to bring the items to his office.
Once I arrived, I was immediately greeted by staff, offered a seat and something to drink. The office is clean and inviting. After filling out a quick one-page form, I met Moshe, the owner. He was friendly and knowledgeable. He separated what I brought in into two piles the “yes” and “no” pile. (The “no” pile had items that weren’t real gold). After setting aside the “no’s” he carefully went through the “yes” pile which consisted of gold pieces, silver coins and jade. He used the acid test on a black stone to verify if the items were gold or not. He showed me the test results of the “yes” gold pieces versus some of the items in the “no” pile on the black test stone. He also did his research using his high tech magnifying glass and iPad to determine which mint some of the silver coins were made at. He explained each step of the process in terms that were easy to understand. I appreciated his attention to detail and I also learned a little more about how coins are intricately stamped with the mint they are made at.
Moshe explained the current market price for the items. Not once did I feel pressured by him to sell/not sell. I felt that the price he offered was more than reasonable, especially for items I were no longer attached to.
Overall, I was impressed by the great customer service I was offered. I will definitely be back again if I come across any other items I find at home. And will be recommending Moshe and his team to anyone else interested in selling their unwanted items.

Came across my grandmother's Niihau shell lei and realized that it was time to let it go. I had absolutely no clue where to go for an HONEST appraisal, didn't want to let it go to "just anywhere" or "anyone". I searched and found Hawaii Estate and Jewelry Buyers. Spoke to Nicole and set up an appointment. It was there where I met with Moshe. He was very professional, very knowledgable and very honest. I was able to let the lei go with ease, knowing that someone, somewhere will appreciate my grandmothers lei.
Highly recommend HAWAII ESTATE AND JEWELRY BUYERS. Very pleasant experience. Great customer service.

Very professional and honest. He gave me top dollar for my family jewelry and offered assistance with finding antique dealers. The office was beautiful and the staff was welcoming and sweet to both me and my children. I highly recommend doing all your jewelry or estate business here.

Oahu's best jewelry store! I needed help right away and called other jewelers who did not answer their phones or return my call. Hawaii Estate & Jewelry Buyers answered their phone, set up an appointment right away, were tech savvy, considerate, very nice and cool people on arrival. On top of that, everyone there was exceptional, genuine, and gave the best social rapport at making you feel comfortable. Then bought my jewelry right away, so I can escape the ballistic missile target zone island! ;D

Let me just start by saying, "WOW!"
Been shopping for a Rolex for quite some time and I knew buying what I wanted would be way out of what I was looking to spend. Went to EVERY jeweler in town that dealt in the business of pre-owned luxury timepieces and in my search for places I hadn't tried, I came across HIEJB (Moshe, The Diamond Guy).
We spoke over the phone and agreed on an appointment time to come into the office to look at the timepiece we're talking about (a pre-owned Rolex Day Date in 18K yellow gold); I was immediately impressed with his setup. I'm a bit of a pen junkie and he has a some of the nicest I've ever had the pleasure of handing. Anyhow...his private office is on a high floor in a prominent building in downtown Honolulu. Nothing about the transaction felt "shady" or that I was about to get taken for a ride.
So we talked about the watch and I that evening I committed to purchasing it. As the days rolled on until I was going to be able to take delivery of it, I got cold feet and contacted Moshe to back out of the transaction. I just felt like even though I wanted the watch as much as I did, it was more than I had anticipated on spending.
Anyhow - another week or two rolls by and I can't stop thinking about this watch. I'm looking online at them everyday and I finally just decide I have to pull the trigger. I contact Moshe again and let him know, I'm ready to go. He squeezes me in between his appointments that same day and we connect back in his office. I have the chance to look at the watch again and get a little bit of an education on the timepiece itself. I ended up buying that Rolex and its everything I could want in my first real luxury timepiece.
To make a long story short, this is the guy you want to see about purchasing your next piece of jewelry - whether it be a set of diamond earrings, a luxury timepiece, or a wedding band. This guy knows his stuff (and came highly recommended by others in the jewelry business in town). I could not be more pleased with our business and will make it a point to come see him again in the near future for my upcoming purchases.
Moshe - if you're reading this, thanks man. On my word I will keep you in mind when I'm ready (like we discussed) and I appreciate your patience with me in this matter. I have to admit, I'm a little envious of that pen collection but I see the hard work you've put into your operation and it drives me to want to do the same. Best of luck in all of your business endeavors!

I had a Tiger Eye necklace that was marked Ming. I checked the internet and found these lovely people. The experience was great. I mailed the package and had a check within a week. I would do business with them again.

" had a few pieces Swiss watch and some old jewlery , had no idea about the value except a cash for gold place near my home , I went to see Moshe and he gave me the total scope on them , he did some research online for the watch and the old jewelry I guess he evaluated based on the work and gold content ,
He then explained to
Me the value of them or what he referred to as real market value ( basically if you wanted to buy them again on eBay or online auction what would they cost second hand ) and then he made me an offer , I knew I wouldn't be able to get what they are worth but I felt it was as solid as an offer as possible and it was also a lot more then what I got offered at cash for gold the last time I checked ..
came on Veterans Day so parking was free , building looked clean and the office girls are very nice and polite , will be back again if I have more gold or diamonds to sell "

I got engaged a little over a year ago and had been wearing my engagement ring ever since. I work a lot with my hands, and so my ring ended up getting a little scuffed and dinged up. After dropping it off at Hawaii Estate & Jewelry Buyers, it came back a little over a week later looking absolutely as good as new!
The people there were so friendly and accommodating both when dropping off and picking up my ring. They were both professional and pleasant to work with. I definitely plan on going back to them if any of my jewelry in the future needs touching up and definitely recommend them to anyone else thinking about it!

The owner is wonderful. Not only the weight of gold, but also jewelry and watches are appraised with a reliable eye and experience. The shop was also very beautiful.
