Dealing with this from across the country could have been very difficult stressful! Mike offered above and beyond help throughout the process, including shipping the items to me in Pennsylvania. Can’t thank you enough! Great customer service!”

“More Than a Jewelry Store — A Place That Holds Our Stories

My family has been coming to Generales & Generales Fine Jewellers since they first opened their doors in 1969, and I’ve lived just around the corner since 1984. In all that time, this store has quietly woven itself into the fabric of our lives — not just as a business, but as a place where moments, memories, and meaning are handled with extraordinary care.

Yes, the jewelry is beautiful. The workmanship is impeccable. But that’s only the surface of what makes Generales & Generales so special.

What truly distinguishes this place is the way people are treated — with warmth, patience, and an instinctive understanding of what matters. There is a rare kind of judgment at work here: thoughtful, humane, and guided by a simple principle of doing right by the customer, always. Not because a policy demands it — but because it’s who they are.

I was recently there to have a ring resized — a ring that once belonged to my maternal grandfather. It’s a small object, but it carries generations of history and emotion. From the moment I placed it in their hands, I felt something I can’t easily put into words: complete trust. Not just in their skill, but in their respect for what that piece represented. It was handled as if it mattered — because to them, it genuinely did.

Peter and Sylvia, along with their entire staff, have a way of making you feel like you are the most important person in the room — not in a performative way, but in a deeply human one. They listen. They remember. They care. Every visit feels personal, unhurried, and grounded in kindness.

And here’s the thing I find myself thinking almost every time I walk out the door: I wish I could give them more money than they charge. Not because of upselling or persuasion — but because of how good I feel after being there. How respected. How reassured. How grateful.

That feeling is priceless, and it’s something Generales & Generales has been giving their customers for over fifty years.

In a world where so much feels rushed, transactional, and impersonal, this place stands as a reminder of how powerful it is to simply treat people well. Generales & Generales doesn’t just sell fine jewelry — they safeguard trust, honor family stories, and build relationships that last generations.

Peter, Sylvia — thank you for what you do, and for the way you do it. Our neighborhood, and our family, are better for having you here.”

“Sam and Gary are incredible. I was really in a pinch and needed to sell some valuable items I had quickly. Sam was super understanding and empathetic, he offered the best deal for my items and even gave me suggestions on where I could sell them as well. Gary was also very friendly and welcoming, made me feel comfortable in his shop. They’re fair, honest, and easy to work with. Best pawn shop experience I’ve had. Huge shout out to those two. Definitely and highly recommend for anyone buying or selling.”

“Everybody at the store is super friendly and welcoming. I came in with my fiance to look for earrings and they were all super helpful. It's hard to find people who still like their jobs and safe to say that everyone here does. Make sure to stop by for great service and great deals.”

“I got water in my vintage Rolex and Mike took care of it with a quick turnaround time. He had all the tools needed to bring my watch back to life and was extremely polite and professional.”

“I took in my Datejust for repair And service. It was quick, pleasant experience. He brought my watch out to me to show me what had made it stop working. Gave me an accurate quote. I left it with him and in four days got it back. Looking beautiful and it’s running like the workhorse it’s always been!! Tom’s great I’m going to bring a couple other watches to him. If you have an issue, we’ll watch and he’s in your area or even if he’s not. He’s your guy.”

“Michael was truly fantastic to work with. He was very thorough in the initial consult and made me feel very well taken care of throughout the whole selling process. He was able to help get me the best value for my items. Very communicative and always responded in a timely matter. Can’t recommend enough! Thanks Michael!”

“My wife and I are going to be padrinos for a bautizo, and we came to Don Roberto Jewelers looking for a special cross and necklace. Helen, the sales associate, was extremely helpful and made the whole process easy. She explained everything clearly, made us feel comfortable, and gave us confidence that we were purchasing real gold.

Delia, the store manager, also went out of her way to be extra nice and supportive. Shopping here was a great decision — it saved us a long drive to the jewelry district in LA, and it felt more comfortable knowing the store has been in business for so many years. We’re very happy with our experience and highly recommend this location”

“I’ve been a fan of IceLink for a while now, and every time I wear one of their pieces, I get compliments. What I love most is that their jewelry and watches aren’t just beautiful — they feel like statements.

There's a boldness in the design, but it never feels too much. Whether I’m dressing up or just going casual, IceLink adds that “something extra” to my look. And it’s not just the aesthetics — the quality is impressive.

Also, shoutout to their team! They’re genuinely kind and helpful. You can tell they care about what they do and the people they serve.

If you want something unique, luxe, and with a bit of attitude — IceLink won’t disappoint.

Love this brand .”

His staff is also very friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole shopping experience even better.

“I purchased a wedding ring from Precision Time Rush Hour Jewelry and was very impressed with their work and service. High quality, attentive customer care, and fast delivery. Highly recommend!”

“My visit to the F.P. Journe Boutique Los Angeles was an incredible experience. From the moment I arrived, the team made me feel genuinely welcome. Madison greeted me warmly, and Sasha helped coordinate my visit so everything went smoothly.

Alena took the time to walk me through the collection, sharing the history and philosophy behind each watch with such knowledge and enthusiasm. I also had the chance to briefly meet Laurent, which was a nice surprise.

The visit left me with a much deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship and spirit of the brand. I can’t wait to return for one of their upcoming events and continue learning more about these remarkable timepieces.”

“I can’t say enough positive things about Greg and this business. Clearly he’s been working with watches for many decades, so he’s like an encyclopedia of watch knowledge. Finding a good antique pocket watch repairman is worth its weight in gold and I am lucky to have found him. He did an excellent job replacing the crystal on my 1924 Rolex converted wristwatch, but I plan to bring it back to have him completely disassemble, clean, and relubricate the mechanism. He also said he could do the same on the 1906 Waltham that my grandfather gave me when I graduated high school. Armenian business. A+ service.”

“My overall experience at this jeweler store was amazing. The store was well organized and cleaned. The staff was excellent with welcoming gestures. I was pleased by one staff her name was Rocio she was a great employee with showing me the jewelry. She was kind and helped me with what i came in for. 100% recommend.”

“This place is legit! if you are thinking about selling any special item you have this is the place! Eric was the most honest and thoughtful when it came to buy my wedding ring, just know you are dealing with an amazing human being that cares about people and their needs. he’s a fair gentleman! would highly recommend this place and will comeback if i decide to sell more things. thanks again to all staff”

“When my dentist replaced a gold filling that had fallen out of a molar, she insisted that I take it and sell it.

“Gold is worth a LOT right now. Seriously!” she said. “Just take it to a jeweler.”

This seemed kind of bizarre to me. I pictured myself strolling into a store full of pretty, sparkly things and presenting this lump of gold mineral that had lived in my mouth for decades. There was the ick factor..

So, the gold filling rested in my purse for several months until I read somewhere about the price of gold skyrocketing.

I hope my experience will assist you if you find yourself with the same task on your ‘to do’ list.

After an internet search of stores — jewelry stores, coin shops, pawn shops and gold shops — I made a list of likely buyers from Burbank to Tarzana (California).

Shop one was Magnolia Coin Company in Burbank. The young guy did some tests on the gold with a couple of impressive machines, then offered me $60 and I thanked him for the offer, and told him that I’d think it over. $60? I was imagining more like $400!

Next, Paul Albarian & Associates in Burbank. After parking and riding up the elevator into a spookily empty high-rise, I was told Paul was not in. I asked for one of his associates. I was told that there were no ‘associates,’ so I continued on my way.

Next, I popped into Burbank VIP Jewelers. The guy there turned up his nose at me and said that they don’t bother with a single gold filling. I had no intention of calling friends and family to gather up a pile of old gold fillings to satisfy this guy, so I crossed him off my list.

A little further north in Burbank was Gold Union on San Fernando Boulevard. The very young employee pulled himself away from his conversation at the curb and had a look at my gold. He was quite friendly and wanted to chat. He asked me if I’d ever seen gold tested. I said ‘yes.’ He proceeded to display his skill at rubbing my filling along a piece of black material, then weighing it. “$16,” he offered. Yeah, no, I said.

You’ve no doubt seen my next stop, Continental Coin & Jewelry in Sherman Oaks. You see it whenever you exit the 405 to go to Costco on Sepulveda. They’ve got a big parking lot, but they certainly were not the friendliest bunch. Few words were spoken besides “$40,” and my “No, thank you.”

Finally, I landed in Tarzana at A Coin Exchange on Ventura Boulevard. After some trouble getting in, I was greeted by a pair of very friendly people. I told them why I was there, and the gentleman said that he’d beat any price I’d been offered, then asked me how much the highest offer was. I said $300. We both knew I was lying, but he went ahead and weighed the little gold bit and said his blind offer would be about $40. I admitted that my highest offer had actually been $60, and, because he’d made that promise, he paid me $62. He kept his word!

Before receiving 3 twenties and two singles, I had to be fingerprinted and have my driver’s license registered. They explained that this is to reduce nefarious crimes, such as undertakers pulling gold fillings out of dead people and selling them. Gruesome.”

“I had to sell some eagle coins to help pay some bills and this place made it really easy for me. Todd was an amazing help and is an amazing soul.
