With some prodding, she finally remembered that she had received it as a gift for her 50th birthday, some 8 years ago. She didn't have a clue on how much it was worth but her other siblings and I convinced here to sell. She's living in Upstate NY and she found a local jeweler that priced the piece at what I thought may have been a little low when comparing it to new models on the market now. I convinced her to send it down to good old SW Florida to give me a shot at selling it here. Once I received it, I took it to two well know local jewelers who both gave me the same price as the one in NY. I was ready to give up and sell it for what I was sure was a little low but remembered some advice I had received on the local "Nextdoor" website. A couple of people highly recommended Westchester Gold and Diamonds (https://westchestergold.com) in Port Charlotte. I took the ride and was lucky enough to discuss the issues surrounding the watch with Steve Duke, the owner. The store itself was pretty impressive with the amount of jewelry in the showroom. Steve took the watch and gave it a good look-over. He was knowledgeable, honest, and accommodating. I was pleasantly surprised by the price he offered. I accepted the price and would highly recommend you visiting the store if you're either buying or selling. Definitely 5 ***** Stars ***** for Steve and Westchester Gold and Diamonds!!!

My gold wedding band was not plain but had designs in it. They told me they could resize it and the jeweler would do his best to match the design when he added to the ring to make it bigger.

I truly believe that honesty and integrity are the most important values in life, you either have…read morethem or you don't. Today's modern age of social media and those that encompass it make it harder and harder to gauge folks, and you never really know who and what people are until meeting them in person. Sure, they may have that impressive resume and cover model photo on their profile, but how many stories have you heard from friends or family that have been on those infamous online "dates" thinking that they were going to meet Brad Pitt or Jennifer Aniston only to find out that they were really having dinner and drinks with Gilbert Gottfried or Rosie O'Donnell. I mention the above only to set the tone for what I experienced a few weeks ago, as I was taken to school so to speak while being introduced to an industry I knew little about. Unfortunately for me, my job was outsourced overseas (for the third time) back in July, and I've had an extremely difficult time trying to fInd something equal to my old position since then. Because of this circumstance, I've been struggling financially and had to make the difficult decision to sell a family heirloom to make ends meet. I'm only being brutally honest because I have the feeling that I'm not the only one who has had to deal with this predicament, which is why I wanted to go into such detail with this review, so that others could benefit from my experiences. The heirloom in question was my mother's diamond wedding ring, and because I wanted to get as much money as I could for it, I wound up doing some extensive research to ensure I knew what I was getting into. Believe me, no research will help as you have to get your hands dirty. The internet is full of websites promising you top dollar for your diamonds (80-90% of value), and they'll even pay for the shipping and insurance on it, but I just don't trust sending my valuables to strangers, especially these days, and worried that not only would they low ball me but possibly send me back a fake if I didn't agree to their terms. With these thoughts in mind, I decided to go local here in the Tampa Bay Area, and after a deep dive on Google, mapped out what would be an epic 2 day journey. My YELP friends, nothing could have prepared me for what I encountered on my escapades through Tampa's diamond brokers. A couple of the businesses seemed to be legitimate, but they were definitely in the minority, as most of the establishments in this area are just plain sketchy. Every experience began to mirror each other as they would begin with the traditional cordial greeting, thinking initially that I was there to make a purchase, but the second I explained that I was there to sell them something the mood instantly shifted to that of a Used Car department. It was as if each business had the exact same script to read from when it came to why they were offering so little for my mother's diamond. To be honest, they were insulting and just didn't give a damn, the complete pawn shop experience. Only one business in this entire area was pleasurable, and you would be insane to go anywhere else. The Terry brothers at Meridian Diamonds are the very definition of integrity and honesty. Scott and Jonathan made me feel extremely comfortable because they did an incredible job of explaining every minute detail of my diamond, as well as the value of each specific characteristic and the existing market trends. They never made me feel inferior, even though they could talk circles around me with their breadth of knowledge and experience. They took their time with me, and gave me a crash course in the diamond business, and in the end, they also gave me the most money than any other place in the area. To say I really enjoyed speaking with them is an understatement, and I guarantee you will have the same experience. If you're looking to buy or sell diamonds in Tampa Bay, take my word that you don't need to go anywhere else. Just an amazing experience overall, beyond five stars.

Every one knows in their mind what they WANT to spend - come on, and of course we'll all spend 20% more for size and for quality. When we came to Diamond District we though it was unusual to actually find someone locally who could be polite in Florida, as well as competitive away from New York, but little would I know how competitive these people actually are and what a true pleasure to do business with they are are also! I went with the 30 day financing - with the S.D.L.S. program (systematic destruction of life savings program in only one month, and she's supposed to love me?) and my fiance made sure it hurt significantly with her experience in knowing diamonds as well. 30 days later we walked out with an impressive LARGE, multi-carrot round solitaire and a very good taste in our mouth still, go figure, as this is rare now-a-days! It was the finest stone we could find on America's east coast! Did I say it was multi carrot and LARGE? Well, surprisingly, while others had nothing to look at in inventory, the Diamond District not only had a huge inventory but tapped into another Chicago dealers inventory and then brought it home to Florida for us! Jay kept showing us diamonds and the girls were so polite, fun and professional and also, Jason was also there to offer me support, "the pain will go away Bern he kept on saying LOL. Do yourself a favor and if you're in Naples or even Miami, take the time to shop with this team of experts, as no one beats their inventory and prices in S. Florida, and I know, as I'm an astute buyer. We came, we saw and we conquered, now let's go get married dear as you're worth it dear!
