i do not know d*** about diamonds or jewelry...but after a brief and very informative conversation with TD, i feel i am better equipped to make informative decisions about buying, selling, or having stones appraised. TD was extremely honest and friendly, and was empathetic to my situation (i am not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination). Although he has sadly relocated to San Antonio, he gave me a great referral to a local Austin jeweler whom he compared to a mechanic (as opposed to a salesman). I would recommend speaking with TD before doing ANYTHING regarding jewels. His advice was completely honest and unsolicited. I have not done any prior business with TD but he treated me like a friend or lifelong customer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Pros: extremely knowlegable and honest
Cons: not in austin anymore :(
