After graduating from the Gemological Institute of America, I opened Vellucci Jewelers in Cambridge, which was my first retail establishment. Throughout the years, my business expanded and in 1992 began to evolve into a successful second-hand jewelry and diamond purchasing business. In 1995, I decided to focus solely on the second-hand industry and renamed my company to Cambridge Jewelry & Watch Buyers. The company, which began in Cambridge is now conveniently located in the Jewelers Exchange Building of Boston.
At Cambridge Jewelry and Watch Buyers we truly appreciate modern and estate jewelry. We feel jewelry is a unique way to experience a certain period in time. Cambridge Jewelry and Watch Buyers typically purchases estate pieces from the Victorian, Edwardian, Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods.
If you would like to sell your unwanted jewelry or high grade watches, please contact us today to make an appointment with our gemologist, James M. Vellucci He will offer a price that reflects the true secondary market value of the item.

Great service! Jim offered higher than two other shops in the same building on some old jewelry i had and was very pleasant. He had a nice selection of jewelry for sale also with unbeatable prices! I only wish we knew about him when my fiance purchased my engagement ring. We will definitely be back here for wedding bands. Thank you Jim!

After my divorce, I had to sell my engagement ring and a friend recommended to go to the Jewelers Building in Boston. I roamed around looking for a store that buys jewelry and ended up with several offers that were drastically different. At Cambridge Jewelry & Watch Buyers, Jim the owner, greeted me with a smile and a handshake. He could sense my nervousness and began telling me about his three daughters.

He then proceeded to give me a brief lesson on diamonds and an offer to buy my diamond. His offer was HIGHER than any of the previous offers in the SAME building. I highly recommend Jim. He is honest, fair, knowledgeable and very kind.

I wanted to get my husband the perfect anniversary gift. He never really asks for much but i remember he mentioning that he always wanted and nice watch. With our anniversary being so close to Christmas it was hard to think if I was going to be able to do it financially. After looking around I found the Jewelers building in Boston was going to give me the best selection.

Not knowing much about watches I went to a few stores that specialized in it. I found Cambridge jewelry and watch buyers. I really liked the gentleman that ran the store and he was very nice about teaching me about the watches he gave me a great price from the start. I know because I had been pricing around online. After some thought I decided to look around a little bit and come back if it was the best deal, you know that little voice inside your head that's always asking you " should I look around even though you know it's a good price", well I listened to it.

It was a waste of my time. I ended up back at Cambridge Jewelry and Watch Byers and got my husband his dream present. A beautiful Rolex watch. He was so happy. It was such a great transaction that I would always recommend people to go here and speak to Jim.

There's not a more honest, straightforward buyer in the Jeweler's building than Jim. Very knowledgeable about diamonds and high grade watches. I never felt pressured at all when working with Jim, which happens all too often when high value items are changing hands. Thank you!

Since the holidays were over, i decided to do a clean up in my house. Once i was done i noticed that i had a fairly small amount of broken jewelry and unmatched earrings from the past. After putting it in my trusty zip lock bag, i headed into the jeweler's building, knowing i was going fo get best price in there. I went to 4 jewelers before stumbling into a little shop on the 4th floor, cambridge jewelers.

Not only did i think the jeweler was super sweet and honest to me but he gave me a quote $150 more than the highest quote from the rest. Now i know, don't waste time and go directly here. Thank you, I'm so happy. Honestly that's an extra $ in my pocket to use in my spring vaca!

I would definitely rate my experience at Cambridge Jewelry a five. Jim was extremely helpful and answered all our questions, without hesitation. My fiance and I are extremely pleased with our purchase. We will be back for sure. I tell everyone I know, who is looking for jewelry, to go see Jim.

I had such an enjoyable experience! I never say that but the professionalism, kindness and education of the staff was just incredible. I was able to sell some of my old jewelry for a very fair price and got some good ideas for the holidays this season! Such a nice time, not stressful at all like I'd imagined. Will absolutely being telling all my family and friends about this awesome store.

"Don't believe everything you read." The exception to that adage is if you happen to be reading the endless examples of exceptional reviews concerning Cambridge Jewelry & Watch Buyers. THEN you can consider EACH and EVERY praise for Cambridge Jewelry & Watch Buyers, and specifically for Mr. Vellucci, to be GOSPEL! Mr. Vellucci is very welcoming and his expertise is amassed from his decades of professional experience in the second-hand jewelry and diamond industry.his appraisals were an education, his knowledge is impressive. Mr. Vellucci is not a 'diamond in the rough'.he is professional, polite, affable, and so interesting.he is a real gem!

What I found to be most reassuring was that there was never any pressure to sell my jewelry. Mr. Vellucci did the appraisals, answered my questions, told me his offer (which was very fair) and said if I preferred I could take some time to think about it.as stated, he was very professional and polite. WITHOUT a moment of hesitation I would strongly recommend bringing your jewelry, watches------even pieces that can be used as 'scraps'------to Cambridge Jewelry & Watch Buyers.it is effortless to get there by T.a little stroll from Government Center on the Green Line. I guarantee if do business with Mr. Vellucci, you be very happy. AND.you will undoubtedly feel compelled to write your own GOSPEL review.amen.

Jim was a pleasure to work with! I found him on Yelp with great reviews and decided to go to him rather than shop around with all the jewelry buyers. He is professional, knowledgable, and also a nice person! The whole exchange took 20 minutes and that included testing a piece for a bit so he could give me the best price. I appreciate his interest in quality both for himself and sellers. Highly recommend!

I found Cambridge jewelry on Yelp and he had great reviews so I gave them a call and Jim was happy to meet me by appointment on a Saturday. I had been thinking of proposing for awhile and was just nervous because I'd never bought a diamond before. My girl had told me kind of what she wanted so I had an idea. When I met Jim he was just a guy in a little office, nothing fancy but boy was I impressed.

Him and his daughter who works there gave me the quick tutorial on a ring & helped me pick out something in my budget and that I thought my girl would like. An hour later I was done and couldn't be happier. My girl loved the ring & I got a great deal! Thanks Jim for making me the hero!

Great experience! I went to two places to sell my jewelry before going to Jim and not only did they offer me much, much less and identify the quality of my jewelry incorrectly - the experience felt pressured and uncomfortable. In contrast I felt very comfortable with Jim and knew he was being honest and fair. He also paid for my parking! I thank him for helping me pay for my son's braces!

Ive never felt as slighted as when I went to Cambridge to shop for accessory jewelry for my wife and a Rolex for me. They acted very superior to me and treated me like an child. Their pricing was out of line and were not willing to work with me even from a price match perspective. Bad business ethics. Also, if you aren't dressed like a million dollars, that's exactly the way you are treated.

Maybe I would've been treated better if I opened up my wallet ahead of time to show them I can afford anything in their store. Thanks for making my choice easy. Seems like the oenergy made his money in the 2000s. He is more intrigued about the TV he watches all day while he works sitting down. Watching court cases all day

I decided to sell a Rolex and several pieces of gold. I was cautious about this transaction. I was greeted by Jim Vellucci and I sensed he was down to earth and welcoming. But, would he give me a fair price. I looked up the current prices for gold and the Rolex so I had a good idea of the value. Jim carefully looked at each piece. He priced 10k, 14k 18k and 22k separately and as he stated the weight, I did the calculations in my head.

Each price was very close to mine. He consulted his partner on the Rolex, and offered just what a high end dealer offered. The entire transaction was painless and cordial. Not once did he ask me what I was looking to get. I recommend him to anyone looking to be treated fairly and on equal terms. Five+ stars. Thanks Jim

After reading all the favorable reviews of Cambridge Jewelry & Watch Buyers, I decided to meet with Jim to sell some pieces I had no longer been wearing or wanting. Jim is VERY kind and knowledgeable and makes the whole process as seamless as possible! I will definitely return and highly recommend his business to anyone wishing to sell their jewelry & watches.

Just met with Jim to sell a Cartier watch I inherited. Great experience. Jim is sincere, real and honest. I had gotten other quotes beforehand and was unimpressed with the attitude and demeanor of the previous buyers I had met. Jim leaves you feeling good about the transaction. I will definitely be back if I have more jewelry/watches to sell.

I have never written an online review before, but my experience yesterday with Jim at Cambridge Jewelry was second to none. I spoke with Jim several times before making the trek into downtown Boston from my office in Westborough, and he was always polite and courteous, provided excellent driving and parking directions, and never made me feel that I was not worthy of his time.

When I arrived for our appointment, I wanted to sell a few pieces of jewelry from my recent marriage break-up, Jim could not have been more kind and professional. And he paid me much more than I would ever have imagined my pieces were worth. I highly recommend Cambridge Jewelry to anyone selling or buying jewelry. Jim is truly a "gem" (haha).

Like the other reviewers, I was a little hesitant with so few reviews but took the leap anyway. I emailed through the website to set up an appointment time and Jim emailed back almost immediately letting me know I'd simply need to call him and confirm he was available when I'd like to come by. I went by on my lunch break. The office is small but secure and neat. Jim is straightforward but has a good sense of humor and helped me through the process.

I knew what I was bringing it wasn't of great quality but he offered me a fair price and I accepted. The whole process took maybe 10 minutes. I'm super impressed and I will definitely be back to deal with Jim in the future.
