Day just
Sdzhngy Y.

If you're trying to sell your luxury watches and avoid the sketchy back-alley vibes of the internet, Ideal Luxury is the spot--and Mark is the guy you want. I brought in my GMT-Master II and Datejust, and Mark handled everything with professionalism, transparency, and a level of watch knowledge that instantly made me feel like I was in good hands. He walked me through how pricing works in the current market, explained the details behind what collectors look for, and gave me a fair offer--no pressure, no fluff. Even better, when it came to figuring out my next move, Mark pointed me in the right direction instead of just trying to push another sale. That kind of integrity is rare in this space. If you're looking to buy, sell, or just nerd out over fine timepieces, Ideal Luxury is worth the visit. Mark makes the whole process feel less like a transaction and more like a conversation between enthusiasts. Definitely coming back.

Just as promised. I appreciate the follow up call when my ring was shipped. I highly recommend Ideal Luxury to do business with.

Where do I begin? I can not seem to put into words the outstanding customer service I received from start to finish.  Never before have I received this level of superior customer service, from anyone on this planet. To say that Mark and Ryan go above and beyond, is an understatement, their level of commitment to make you feel like you are the most important client, is par excellence.  They answer each and every question you have without ever making you feel rushed to make a decision.  They are patient, kind and dedicated. It shows and shines through, all the way into the way they gently and carefully prepare your items for shipment.  The little added details are further proof that they care about the business they invested in but more importantly they are invested in you.  Wiring large amounts of money to someone online to pay for an item can be a really scary idea. But they made this transaction so easy and put me at ease right away.  There is a level of trust that flows both ways, so easily and smooth.  They communicate with you EACH AND EVERY step of the way.  You are kept in the loop in real time, "wired received, preparing for shipment, item shipped, item will arrive early, item is out for delivery". This level of commitment is why they have found a loyal faithful returning customer in me. I will recommend IdealLuxury to friends,  family and strangers. If an issue should arise, they quickly move to correct or offer a solution. I can not sing their praises enough. They made my experience, one I will never forget. They went above and beyond each and every step of the way. They exceeded my expectations beyond anything I could have every imagined. Thank you Mark and Ryan for making this experience, the best, smooth and feel good of a lifetime.  I'm guessing- you make all your clients feel this way, each and every time. I can not thank you both enough. You both are the epitome of customer relations. You are the embodiment of excellent customer service. So many can take lessons from you both. Wishing you and IdealLuxury all the best.

Huge thank you to South Coast Jeweler for saving my finger today!…read more My trinity ring was completely stuck and causing severe swelling, and they were able to cut it off safely, and carefully so that I can at least get it repaired. The whole process took like 1 minute, so I appreciate how quickly it took. Lol They were very welcoming and friendly the moment I walked into the store.

My fiancé began his ring search knowing almost nothing about diamonds but was willing to explore…read moreand learn. He visited several jewelers across OC, from large retailers to family owned stores and even some that were recommended by other friends/family but none compared to the genuine care and honest customer service he received from Kathy and Jenny here! I came with my fiancé on his first visit here to get sized and choose some shapes that I preferred. Kathy patiently walked us through sizing and explored different shapes with zero pressure and so much patience. We loved how relatable she was and how natural and genuine our convos went! When he returned on his own, Jenny took her time to educate him fully and showcased her expertise (being in the business for 30+ years) and made sure he truly understood every detail, not just the 4 C's, but things other stores never even mentioned so he could feel confident making such an important decision. They actually encouraged him to even take his time and check out other places to make sure he was confident in his decision. This kind of customer care made all the difference! I didn't see the ring until the proposal, and it was absolutely perfect! But what makes it even more meaningful is knowing how much thought, care, and intention went into choosing it and how much of that came from the guidance he received there. I really can't thank both Jenny and Kathy enough for making his experience so smooth and seamless! If you're starting your ring journey and feel overwhelmed, go to South Coast Jewelers. They don't just sell you a ring, they make you feel confident, excited, and taken care of which makes this kind of experience so much more priceless.

She walked us through the process, answered everything we asked, and never made us feel rushed or like we were taking up her time. What we appreciated most was her honesty. Erica was clear about what was realistic and what wasn't, and she never oversold our chances just to keep us hopeful. And she followed through. She said she would reach out if the watch became available, and she did exactly that. The morning she reached out, my wife and I just stared at each other, and then we were jumping around the room like a couple of kids. When we came in to pick it up, she still remembered the details of a conversation we'd had months earlier. It never felt like a transaction. The handover was relaxed, nobody rushed us, and the whole team was welcoming. If you get the chance, ask for Erica. Whether you're buying something straightforward or hoping for something that takes time, you'll be in good hands. We can't recommend her enough, thank you Erica!

Liberty Diamonds is the best jeweler!…read more I did tons of research before choosing a new jeweler, and Liberty Diamonds exceeded my high expectations because of their: --Excellent customer service --High-end products --Many years of experience --Reasonable prices --Trustworthiness I was in need of a new jeweler because my original jeweler went out of business, and then the jeweler I found to replace him didn't do as good of a job and, lately, was referring everything to junior jewelers who didn't give me the best service. So I went on Yelp and found Liberty Diamonds based on all of their 5 star great reviews, and I am so happy that Yelp steered me in the right direction! Liberty Diamonds is now my go-to jeweler, and I've actually done multiple things with them, which have all turned out perfect, including: --Ring repair: My grandma's antique platinum and diamond ring broke, and Liberty Diamonds fixed it for me and resized it so it fit my hand better. Amazing! --Jewelry design: I wanted a pair of multi-strand pearl and white gold earrings, glammed up from an older version I used to wear when I was in college, and Troy helped me design exactly what I wanted! The finished product was perfect and of the utmost quality! --Diamond ring polishing and maintenance: It had been a while since I had my rings professionally cleaned (other than a quick dip in the ultrasonic), so I dropped them off for a few days and got them back looking polished and shiny, like they were brand new instead of many years old! I really liked how Troy showed me my rings under a magnifying lens and then gave me options for repairs I could do. I chose to preventatively strengthen a prong, and everything turned out looking incredible! --Custom necklaces: Now I am designing coordinating necklaces for my daughters and myself with the help of Liberty Diamonds and it's a great process and I have tons of options at reasonable price points Liberty Diamonds is located in an office center near SNA Airport (off the 405fwy and MacArthur) and there's plenty of easy/free parking! I am soooooo happy with Liberty Diamonds and highly recommend them to anyone in need of a trustworthy, high-end, bespoke jeweler with outstanding customer service!

From the very start, my husband worked closely with Troy and the team to design a truly beautiful custom engagement ring. It turned out more perfect than I could have ever imagined. When it came time for our wedding bands, we purchased two wedding bands for me, and Troy helped us design a gorgeous, unique custom wedding band for my husband. The level of personalized care we received made a potentially stressful process fun and exciting. We couldn't be happier with our rings, and we will absolutely be going back to Liberty Diamonds for all of our future jewelry purchases!

They looked at my piece and said it was worth about $200-$500 for the stone (which was GIA certified with documented origin) plus scrap value for the setting. The process didn't feel transparent. An explanation was given for their valuation, but it didn't align with the certification or current market pricing. I took it to another market participant who valued the stone only (not including setting) for over $6,000 dollars. If you are interested on a consignment or sale option, I would highly recommend getting multiple opinions on pricing before settling on an option especially if you are not familiar with pricing of precious stones. 2 star for good location and decent parking.
