680 E Colorado Blvd Suite 180, Pasadena“Excellent appraisals and insurance valuations of my fine jewelry pieces. Very reasonable price. Nice guy, too. I learned a lot during these appraisals - seems there's a lot of disinformation about fine jewelry out there and sometimes the value of an expensive piece of jewelry can either rise or fall due to market variations, style, current fashion, etc. Good to know all these things. Anyway, this was a great experience and I recommend this appraiser wholeheartedly.”

1635 S Del Mar Ave, San Gabriel“Coming to Hing Wa Lee is the only time where it helps me relieve stress and give me a sense of peace while I'm going through school.
Back in March, I purchased a Rolex Datejust, but I need an alternative low-key watch for school because I don't want to be too flashy in front of other classmates.
Chloe helped me select my ring size from Chopard even though I'm not married, but I always wanted a ring to pair with my watch.
I told Chloe before I was looking to purchase an Air King or GMT. Unfortunately, those models are rare, and I know she has other clients who want them also.
I told her I was interested in a Cartier Santos because Christopher Moltasanti wore one in the Sopranos. We looked through the display case together and tried on different dial colors.
We landed on the green dial together, because, 1) I do like the color of money, 2) Green is used in jade for Chinese cultures, 3) the dial color is rare, 4) it represents the Hing Wa Lee brand.
Thank you, Chloe, for always taking care of me and not pressuring me to buy alternative watches, but show me around.
Last, but not least, she taught me not to baby the Rolex and worry about getting scratches on the bracelet. Because it will get scratches eventually, and I can always send it in to have it polished to have the scratches removed in the future.
Therefore, I will wear the Cartier and Rolex with love going forward. Mr. Lee and Hing Wa Lee Group are lucky to have Chloe around.
Chloe could see my passion with the engineering and designing of watches, which is why I'm always in good hands whenever I'm there.”

109 W Main St, Alhambra“The service was awesome and they answered all of my questions amazing. I was a bit shocked when I was quoted $10 cheaper over the phone and I drove 35 minutes while on my lunch break to get to the shop. Once I arrived the lady was super sweet. Granted I already have a nose piercing and hoop I just wanted to buy the gold hoop. Without asking me she installed the hoop and charged an extra fee for installing it when I only wanted to purchase the jewelry. At the end they charged me the jewelry and an installation fee. Then on top of that asked me for a tip.... Just bummed with the misquote, extra fee for putting in the hoop when I did not want them to, and asking for a tip when they already charged me to put the hoop in.”
“Joe was so helpful and kind . My son and I needed a birthday gift for my husband. Joe was patient, and didn’t put any pressure on me to purchase. I ended up purchasing a men’s bracelet. Then we came back within an hour and purchased a ring for my husband. It was Joe who just made such a positive impression on us. Thanks Joe , definitely have my business going forward.”

30 E Huntington Dr, Arcadia“Terrific little store for selling gold jewelry. The buy rate is reasonable. The owner I believe (didn't catch his name) is nice and efficient in handling the cash exchange for gold buying.”
“First, I'd like to preface this by saying I have never left an online review for anything. I'm just not that kind of person but the extraordinary service I received has been so far beyond the norm, I felt compelled to comment.
It started when I received a book I hadn't ordered. I felt sure a mistake had been made by a second-hand bookseller from whom I had ordered a different title. Fearing my book had been sent to the true buyer of this book, I contacted the Huntington Store (after hours, I'm quite certain) to inquire how we should resolve this error. I awoke the next morning to find an email from Lynsey Hand with the answer to the mystery. The book had been a surprise gift from my brother in Japan. (Yes, he is that great of a brother!)
I wrote to thank him and to recommend he take every opportunity to patronize this bookseller because I was so impressed with the packaging of my book against damage in transit. He recommended I write a review.
Over the years I have had numerous books, many collectibles, damaged due to inadequate packaging.
This book arrived wrapped in bubblewrap, cardboard, and packing paper in a sturdy cardboard box.
I have learned since 1.) it was packed by a lady named Emily (Outstanding job, Emily) and 2.) The Huntington store is not a second-hand bookseller but is, in fact, a beautiful museum with incredible botanical gardens.(My brother forwarded a Huntington newsletter.)
I can do without another visit to Los Angeles, but the next opportunity I have to visit Southern California, I plan on making the Huntington my destination spot and look forward to spending a liesurely day at this beautiful museum and its grounds and, perhaps, shake the hands of these two women who made such an impression as to prompt an old curmudgeon to write an online review.
Thank you, ladies!”
“great find! sam is the nicest man and and excellent jeweler. he's careful and meticulous and helpful. he's so generous with his time and expertise. highest ratings!”
“I had the pleasure of hosting my daughter's birthday party at this venue, and it was truly an exceptional experience. Kelly, our host, demonstrated outstanding engagement with all the children, ensuring that each child had a thoroughly enjoyable time. The birthday party was expertly organized, featuring an engaging scavenger hunt with thoughtfully crafted clues for the kids to follow, complemented by a creative necklace-making activity. The entire event was a resounding success, and I extend my heartfelt kudos to this establishment for creating such a fun and enchanting environment. The attention to detail, coupled with the commitment to providing a memorable experience, truly sets this place apart. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to host a delightful and well-planned celebration.”
“Berj is very knowledgeable, offers fair prices for his work, and is a true craftsman. If you are looking for a watch or jewelry, or need a repair, I highly recommend him.”
