I called 10+ places and visited 5 others before finding these guys. All I wanted to do was trade in a watch for a different watch. Something I thought would be a simple thing to take care of. I kept getting met with awful stock, low ball offers on my piece, outrageously high prices on their pieces or a restriction that I could only trade up and not down if I found something I liked that was worth less than my current watch. None of that none sense here. I came in, found a couple of watches I liked, tried them all on and worked a deal leaving with a new watch and a check for the difference in less than 45 minutes. Great people, great experience. I’ll make the drive across the bay any day to visit again. See you all soon
We feel lucky to have met Kevin and his team. They were generous with their time and expertise and some good laughs too. We ended up with a piece that well love forever. Thank you!!
Wha do you do when you start the day realizing you are missing a stone out of your engagement ring setting? You go visit Associated Watch and Jewelry Buyers and you are in good hands. Mabel Burns assessed my ring and noticed not only was I missing a large side sapphire, but the setting had two breaks in it. I am lucky I still had my main diamond. She was happy to have her master jeweler rebuild the setting and replace the stone, however she also gave me other options as I didn’t love how my setting was easy to catch on things, thus causing the damage over time. Mabel allowed me to express what I was looking for and was able to show me some new settings. They were right on. So many decisions, I brought my husband back later in the day and we both fell in love with the same setting.. The master jeweler put my diamond in their setting, and even made a necklace out of the halo part of the past setting as it had meaning. What a bonus. On top of that my husband saw a beautiful necklace in the display case and had me try that on. Guess what? My anniversary gift is already in his hands for later this year. One stop shopping for so many occasions in so many price ranges and tastes. No pressure, instead great insight and vision to match the perfect jewelry for each customer. You won’t be disappointed with the personal attention to every customer. As we were picking up the ring we ran into s friend’s son who just bought an engagement ring. So many smiles, and milestones they are a part of.
Terrible Service. I called and spoke to someone who said to bring in what I had and I would get an offer. The “manager” never gave me an offer, showed up and he took two looks at a 2k ring and told me to take it to whoever offered me the most. Why would I be here if I had another offer.
I had the pleasure of conducting business with Kevin and it was as nice as I could expect. I was offered a very fair price for an heirloom ring that was much more favorable compared to other offers I solicited around town. If I had a nice piece and I wanted a fair offer on I would be here first. Thanks to all
It was a wonderful experience working with Kevin and his team. He was very educational, walking me through the entire process. He made me feel comfortable. I received great value and it was an overall phenomenal experience! I would highly recommend Associated Watch to anyone looking to purchase jewelry!
I had a great experience at Associated Watch and Jewelry Buyers!I spoke with Joe before coming into the store and he gave me honest and fair pricing. I compared his pricing with a couple other “reputable” jewelers in the Tampa Bay Area and had a lackluster experience.I decided to move forward with Joe and the experience was very easy, fast, and the entire staff was friendly. I recommend Associated Watch and Jewelry Buyers to anyone else in the Tampa Bay area!
My husband worked with Kevin at Associated Watch & Jewelry Buyers to design the custom engagement ring of my dreams. It turned out even better than I envisioned! We got our wedding bands here as well. Kevin is kind, thoughtful, knowledgable, friendly and detail-oriented. It’s clear he truly cares about his customers.You won’t find better prices or more excellent service anywhere else in town. Kevin and his partner, Joe, are phenomenal at what they do - they always have an impressive selection of gorgeous, unique jewelry. If you are wanting something specific they don’t currently have in store, they will find it for you.Kevin at Associated Jewelers is a diamond in the rough (pun intended). I will never purchase jewelry from anywhere else and I suggest you adopt the same mentality...you won’t regret it.
Selling gold, silver or anything in between? Associated watch and jewelry is the place you should go. When you walk in Eric is immediately helpful and will let you look at and try on anything you’d like. If you’re looking to sell literally anything, ask for Joe and you will not be disappointed. Associated watch and jewelry has time and time again been the place my wife and I travel to for any gold/silver/watch need.
Joe is the BEST! We live in Orlando and drive to see Joe in Tampa! He always give us the best deal and the quality is beyond AMAZING! Customer service is #1. I will always call Joe for my jewelry and will go nowhere else. I LOVE my engagement and wedding bands!!! Thank you so much, Joe!!!
Associated Watch & Jewelry Buyers has taken care of our jewelry needs for over 20 years. A customer oriented business, they are quick to accommodate our specific needs or requests. The staff is always friendly, courteous and quick to assist us with any questions or concerns regarding our timepieces or jewelry.
My husband and I purchased our wedding rings as well as my engagement ring and have been very happy with the quality and service. I found a ring at another store that I loved and they made one very similar for cheaper. They also made it in my size (3.75) which isn’t as common and it fits very nicely with my engagement ring. We will definitely use them in the future for additional jewelry purchases.
Fast and very friendly service.
These guys are as good as it gets. Both Joe and Kevin are professional and courteous and I have sold and bought from them for several years. They have high end art and jewelry in their store on Kennedy and have been a staple of Tampa for decades. They are fair and honest...do yourself a favor and give them a shot!!!
Fast, friendly, professional and fair. Excellent experience
Fantastic people and business. Got my (now) wifes engagement ring here, and it was a true pleasure to work with Mabel and Kevin. We even came back to get our wedding bands. Couldnt have had a better experience.
This place is the most wonderful experience I have ever had! They are so polite and patient me. I just loved Kevin and admired his competency and intelligence. Then, they introduced me to Mabel who was extremely nice and helpful.This experience, as many may well know, can be an intimidating experience and they made me feel relaxed because I was so scared to death.I am not only going to recommend them highly, but making this my only place to go in the future.You are awesome - please continue to be as great as you are!!I just love all of you!!Now, thanks to you, I can sleep better! Thank you so much!!Emily
Was referred here by another jewelry store on Florida Ave. I went in to sell my 18K Gold Opal Stone Diamond ring, the offered me the price I wanted wrote my check and yeah here I am writing a review. The employees here are very polite and didn’t treat me like a dollar sign, 5 stars baby!
We finally found a jeweler in the greater Tampa Bay Area with high integrity, competency and concern for their customers satisfaction and repeat business! The owners are the professionals that you deal with, in an atmosphere that is pleasant, friendly, and not high pressure.....and the eye candy jewelry and art work is as diverse and stunning as you will find.....our experience EVERY TIME is upbeat and fun and we are always very pleased and cant wait to go back! Thank you, Kevin and Mabel Burns and Joe White for your friendship, honesty and great jewelry👍
Very good service and great costumers service. Will go back without hesitation. The employees are very knowledgeable and professionals.
Had a great experience all the way around. Wanted a ring with the stone from one and the band from another. No problem. Turned out better than I expected. Joe is as honest a guy as I have ever met. Thanks!
Excellent service. Made me feel like I have known them for years. Gave me top dollar for a diamond ring I brought in. Kevin is so professional, sitting you down in his office and taking his time to give you the best, most fair price. Take my word and do not waste time going to anyone else.
Associated Watch & Jewelry Buyers is the only jeweler I go to in South Tampa. My husband purchased and engagement ring here and it is simply stunning!! We had our wedding bands custom made by their jeweler and were able to use some of our family stones to make a truly personal and unique item. We both received numerous, almost daily, compliments on our wedding bands and especially my engagement ring. If you asked me where to go for your jewelry needs, I would send you straight to Associated Watch & Jewelry Buyers!
I would definitely recommend their services! I sold my engagement ring yesterday and the process was fast and stress-free. Kevin and Mabel were super helpful and honest and gave me a fair value for the vintage diamond.
I visited Associated Watch & Jewelry on the recommendation of a friend, and they were awesome.I found the perfect OMEGA watch that I have been searching for and had not seen in other estate jewelry stores. They have a large selection of fine jewelry and the staff are highly qualified to answer all my questions.I will now be sending all my friends to visit Associated.
I used Associated Watch & Jewelry Buyers to purchase my finances engagement ring and our wedding bands. They were extremely professional and worked with me to get the exact ring I was looking for. The diamond was very high quality at a reasonable price. I recommended them to a friend and he used them as well for his wifes engagement ring.
I had a fabulous experience with Kevin and the team at Associated Watch and Jewelry Buyers. I sold some jewelry and watches, and purchased a bracelet that I love, and had money to spare. I feel that our transaction was fair and equitable. I would gladly recommend that you consider doing business with this professional group.
I have been long time customer of Associated Watch and Jewelry. They have been there for me for all significant events from anniversaries to birthdays to Holiday gifts and anything in between. They are reliable and trustworthy. Their product line is top quality and reasonably priced. Customer service is impeccable with a very friendly and knowledgable staff. Even our adult children found Associated Watch to be their place to purchase their engagement and wedding rings. Once you visit you will be back again
Very clean facility with friendly staff and fast service. Got a good fair offer for jewelry i sold to them. Thank you.
Had an engagement ring for seven years sitting in a fire lock box and thought it was time to sell it. The selling process was not stressful, the employees were friendly and it took 15 minutes to complete. The amount they gave me was $600 dollars more than two other stores. Recommend them to anyone looking to sell or buy jewerly.
The experience with Associated Watch & Jewelry Buyers has been exceptional. Krista assisted my fiance with choosing an engagement ring and then worked with me to find the perfect wedding ring. She is very professional and made the whole process easy. I highly recommend Associated Watch & Jewelry Buyers.Thank you,Jay Seletos
Most truthful and wonderful place. Though things did not turn out like I needed but I would still highly recommend them. I will definitely go back in the future.
They were really friendly and prompt when I initially took my ring in to see how much they would buy it for. Joe was very honest and advised me to try selling it on my own first, so I could get more money for the ring. He quoted the price for me on a business card and signed it, and told me I could bring it in later for the same price. I took the ring to several ther stores and tried to sell it via the internet, but joe offered me the best price. I took it back a couple weeks after our initial meet, and he honored his original quote.
I have purchased several items from Associated Watch & Jewelry in Tampa and Im writing to say ... the customer service is top notch. They are knowledgeable and friendly and most importantly the pricing cant be beat! Go in - you too will see what Im talking about. Thank you Associated Watch for constantly exceeding my expectations.
I have known Kevin, Joe and Mabel for over 15 years. They are highly professional, great people to work with.
Professional, practical and great people to work with when buying jewelry. Went the distance to find exactly what I was looking for and made the process so easy for something that could have been so stressful. Thank you for all the help and Ill be coming back, even though Im nowhere near Tampa.
Joe has a deplorable attitude when it comes to dealing with the public. The atmosphere makes people think they are scum in compared to the all mighty powerful staff and owners. Do yourself a favor and deal with either Old Northeast or International Diamond Center.
Nice store. Nice people. Just didnt like the low ball offers.
This is the easiest way to sell diamonds in Tampa. I wanted to see one of my diamond rings. Their friendly and knowledgeable staff made it quick and simple.
My fiancé worked directly with Kevin Burns in choosing a diamond and customizing my engagement ring. I could not imagine having a ring more perfect or beautiful than what Kevin has created. We would highly reccomend this business for any of your jewelry needs, for the quality and customer service is really just the best.
Friendly, professional and knowledgeable. These guys helped me out in the most genuine way and far exceeded my expectations.
I went to Associated to sell my gold chain and they gave me top dollar for it. I went to or called other local jewelry stores and cash for gold places and Associated gave me over $100 more than the next any other offer I got.
Very Good customer service i sold some jewelry and the process was fast and they explain all the details best place i been in aTampa.
Purchased a Rolex from Kevin years back. Had an issue with it ( possibly user error) and Kevin stood by his sale and fixed the problem and made it right. These guys are honest and reliable. They have a customer for life. THANK YOU
They gave us a fair value for a diamond we sold them. Helpful & courteous staff. Thanks!
Very personalized care! The on going help from Kevin and Mabel make your special movements great!
They are the most honest jewelers in the Tampa Bay Area. Their prices are fair and their inventory is SUPERB! I wouldnt shop anywhere else.
I walked in with a perfect clarity diamond earring I either wanted to sell or find a match for. The guy told me it was a $20.00 stone and that I should just sell it to him because Im going to just get mad driving around looking for a quote. I didnt and went to Continental Jewelers and they gave me options.. trade in, upgrade or I could sell it for $300.00. What a joke this place was. Everything in their is a joke... DONT USE THEM.
Ive purchased several watched and pieces of jewelry. Im always please with the quality, available selection and price. Go visit them!
Extremely rude and unhelpful. Would never consider buying or selling anything to this company.
