C. Blackburn Jewelers is a La Jolla fine jewelry store that specializes in the design of custom engagement rings; diamond earrings, pendants, and necklaces; and fine jewelry set with rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. All design projects are managed by owner and jewelry designer Carl Blackburn, from the initial jewelry sketch to the CAD drawings to the finished piece. As an estate jewelry buyer, Carl is recognized as paying fair cash prices for everything from simple gold necklaces to large carat diamond rings to antique gemstone brooches. You can expect premium prices for highly collectable vintage and antique jewelry, especially pieces that were manufactured by fine jewelry retailers such as Harry Winston, Tiffany & Co., and Cartier. Carl also is highly knowledgeable in the valuation of used timepieces from Rolex and Patek Philippe. C. Blackburn Jewelers offers quick and affordable jewelry repair, such as the resetting of a loose diamond in an engagement ring, or the refitting of a gold wedding band. We also can completely restore vintage and antique jewelry (when possible). Estate jewelry appraisals can be provided to those who are evaluating the worth of a person's or couple's estate. Our in-store jewelry showcases often include antique and vintage jewelry that Carl has bought and curated during his travels as an estate jeweler, as well as items that he has bought from the public. Other pieces include jewelry from Carl's recently designed fine jewelry collections, such as his popular diamond ring enhancers which he designed in 2022. Carl's boutique La Jolla jewelry store is open only by appointment Monday - Saturday, as he often is traveling to meet with customers throughout San Diego County. Call 858-251-3006 to arrange a meeting with Carl at your convenience.
