“I was very satisfied and comfortable with my experience in every way. Moran made time for me right away even though I was not sure I had a real diamond. He met with me in a safe environment close to my home and patiently tested and looked through all of my junk jewelry in a very calm disarming manner. Although none of my diamonds were real, I was glad to know about what I had. I learned a lot about the process of buying and selling and what to look for in the future. I really look forward to doing business with him again, hopefully with an actual diamond. I also felt he would give me a fair market price when I do. Very warm, honest, and professional man. Not to mention one of the few buyers that would see me at all. Great job! Thank you Mr. Tairy!”

Rick Rosenberg

“We had a diamond ring to sell and were unsure how to go about finding a qualified buyer. Called Moran and he met us at a location of our choice and in a timely manner. He was professional, compassionate to our needs, and we were able to sell our ring with confidence and have not experienced sellers remorse. Call Moran first, he will be there for you. Thank you Moran!”

Debbie Joy & Dr. Ron Lundrigan

“I was very impressed with the straightforward information and honest approach.  Moran definitely has earned my trust and business.”

Govind D.

“Moran was very professional, helpful and knowledgeable! I enjoyed working with him and felt very comfortable with his advice and guidance!!!”

Kears H.

“I had a great experience dealing with Moran regarding a diamond I wanted to sell. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and honest. He also paid me the highest price for my diamond! I would definitely recommend contacting Moran if you have a diamond to sell!”

Delinda

“Moran conducted himself very professionally, meeting at my site and was very prepared. He was fair with his offer to buy a ring that was meaningful to me. I will definitely do business with him in the future. He was highly recommended by another jewelry professional.”

Oray

“Moran was fantastic. He educated me on the process of valuing a diamond, while also giving me a more than fair price. I felt confident I was getting the best price from a trustworthy source. He’s also extremely friendly and professional. I would definitely work with him again in the future.”

Rick Romero

“Moran was very friendly, professional, and informative. After getting several quotes, he gave me by far the best offer on my diamond ring. I definitely recommend Moran and would do business with him again in the future!”

Lauren

“My experience dealing with Moran was wonderful. I went in to the process of selling my diamond very nervous and leery of online scams/ads, but found this to be anything BUT. From the get go, he was very patient and professional. It was evident that his concern was for me as a customer, not just a potential buy for him. I got a great deal and he was honest and forthcoming in educating me how the process worked; which is why I will definitely follow suit of his other testimonials, and recommend him to anyone needing to sell a diamond.”

Claire Hernandez

“I am very satisfied with selling my diamond. Moran met with me at a location that was easy for me. It turns out I really wasn’t ready to sell at the time. I never felt pressured. A few months later I was finally ready. He met me again and was very fair and accommodating.”
