I also sold a couple of pieces to them instead of on Ebay. Selling to Global saved me so much time and hassle, the margin between the theoretical "top dollar" I might have made and what they paid me was reasonable. In fact, it was so much easier, I left feeling glad they'll make some money reselling my items! Reputable company I will definitely do business with again.

My fiancée and I purchased the engagement ring of our dreams here at Ultimate Diamond with the help of Diana who taught us everything we needed to know about finding the perfect diamond. We were looking for something particularly difficult to source, but she was able to find exactly what we wanted. Afterwards, she helped consult on the style, setting, and insurance, and even worked with us on price to make sure everything was in budget. Throughout the whole process, we knew we were in good, professional, and capable hands. Of course, we're the type of couple that does our research beforehand and compared to the others highly-rated jewelers in the Diamond District, Ultimate Diamond is unmatched. The store is modern and welcoming (unlike many others), the people are wonderful, the selection is outstanding, and the pricing is fair. We cannot wait to buy more from them in the future as our wedding approaches.

I had to share my experience because I truly wish I had come here from the very beginning…read more Jangmi was actually the first place I went to when I started ring shopping. I wanted to see a variety of designs, shapes, and settings--and they had so many beautiful options to try on. The experience was warm, helpful, and not overwhelming at all. However, I ended up going with another jeweler a few stores down because my boyfriend had a connection there. The moment I received my ring, I immediately regretted not choosing Jangmi. The ring I got was nothing close to what I had asked for. The prongs were bent, and I had specifically requested a higher setting so that a wedding band could sit flush--but none of my bands (even very thin ones) sat properly. I brought it back and asked for multiple fixes. To his credit, he did make adjustments for free, but when I received the ring the second time, it still didn't match my vision at all. What I wanted was simple and classic: a 6-prong setting with tall, straight prongs (similar to the Tiffany style) and small claw tips. Instead, the ring was still not high enough, and the prongs were extremely thick--both from the top and side view--which completely took away from the beauty of the diamond. At that point, I was honestly so frustrated and ready to give up. But I remembered how positive my initial experience at Jangmi was, so I decided to reach out and ask if they could reset my ring. Even though the previous jeweler was willing to keep making changes for free, I didn't feel comfortable going back. I would much rather pay for something done right. And I am SO glad I did. Jangmi had the exact design I had been envisioning all along. Mrs. Kim was incredibly patient, attentive, and knowledgeable. She had a wax model made for me to try on before finalizing the ring, which made such a huge difference. Seeing and wearing the design in person gave me so much confidence--honestly, I preferred this so much more than just looking at CAD images, which can be hard to interpret if you're not in the industry. Within just two weeks, my ring was exactly what I had dreamed of from the start. The craftsmanship, the proportions, the setting--everything was perfect. My biggest regret is not coming to Jangmi Jewelry from the beginning. But one thing I can promise is that I will absolutely be coming back here for my wedding bands. If you're even thinking about going here--just do it. You won't regret it!

Upon first impressions, the environment was cozy and quiet without having the distractions of the…read moreoutside hustle and noises of the city streets and hoards of people. I was greeted immediately by the front desk receceptionist who smiled and buzzed me in to their private office in the back. I always say the first impression counts because you only get one chance to impress someone. The staff in the back was cordial and attentive. Immediately, one of the young ladies asked me what I was searching for and I mentioned I wanted a round solitaire pendant with a white gold chain. There were so many beautiful diamonds that I glanced upon, that I wished I could've been shopping for myself but I was there for one purpose only and that was to buy a beautiful gift for my best friend. I had been to their website prior to visiting their store and snapped some pictures of what I liked and of the prices that was within my budget. Unfortunately for me, those prices that were depicted on their website were not valid now. Those were prices from years ago and one of the owners told me that they didn't have staff that could update their webpage since I had mentioned that someone should've updated their website so that no one would be confused or disappointed once they travel to their store location. However since I was already there, I decided to at least see what I would be able to afford within my budget on the pieces I was looking forward to, but none of them was within my budget. I did ask for their business card and also a notation of the item I was interested in so that if I do return, I will have a written note of what I had seen today during my first visit at I.D. Jewelry. I can say that all the diamonds that I saw today were exquisite and the staff that attended to me had exemplary customer service skills which means a lot to me when I am treated kindly and respectfully even though I didn't purchase anything, the staff welcomed me back as well as gave me a smile upon leaving. To me those actions taken by their staff and the owner speaks volumes about their character as well as the quality of services they provide to everyone that enters their store. I look forward to returning in the near future knowing that I will be treated with respect and like family plus purchasing top quality genuine diamonds that I won't hesitate to buy from.

They honored the value of the piece and offered more than I asked, which spoke volumes about their fairness and integrity. They even introduced me to the jeweler purchasing my watch -- a talented, thoughtful, generous man who offered insight and encouragement during a moment that was both cathartic and emotional. The transaction itself was seamless, but the human experience, the grace, dignity, and empathy I was shown, will stay with me.

I didn't want to deal with consignments or questionable appraisals. I chose Diamond District Gold Buyers because they offered a quick, same-day appointment. The buyer was incredibly professional and knowledgeable.

There was zero pressure to sell. Once I accepted the offer, the payment was processed instantly--cash on site, just as promised. The private, secure office setting made the transaction feel completely confidential and comfortable. If you have high-end pieces, a watch, or valuable diamonds, this is the place. Expert knowledge and top cash payout made it a perfect experience.
