It was my plan to buy a diamond online and get it appraised within the 30 day return period. Out of all the Austin appraisers I researched, TD was the only one who knew what exact service I wanted - verification that I got what I bought. From his kind, but straightforward tone over the phone, I knew I had found the right guy.\r
TD thoroughly inspected my diamond, educating me about the process at the same time. He is funny and very approachable. Ask him about the poem ""The Blind Men and the Elephant"". He'll explain how it's an apt metaphor for appraising diamonds. It's clear that TD has a passion for his trade and respect for his patrons who put a great deal of trust in his expertise. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED.\r
