Hey everyone. Anyone have any experience with or heard of Liberty Diamond Cutters? http://www.libertydiamonds.com/

Yes, what is your question?

 

[Hest88]

Are they reputable? Are they knowledgable enough to satisfy cut geeks like us? Anyone had any good or bad experiences with them?

 

[diagem]

They are around for a long time, and i didnt hear anything bad....

I know this is an older post, but did you ever meet with Liberty?? I''m in the midst of setting up an appointment with them and wanted some feedback to your experience before meeting with them myself...

If anyone else has positive/negative feedback, I''d LOVE to hear it!!

TIA

My sister did end up meeting with them more than once before her square emerald (generic asscher) purchase. Here's her feedback:

They showed me some nice stones in house and Troy was very helpful. He was
the first one to show me stones to compare color, clarity, etc. Spent a good
amount of time with me and answered all of my questions. When I first went
to him I knew nothing and most likely did not ask all of the questions I
should have. After I recieved my WF stone, I set up another appt to see him
b/c he had one particular stone that was gorgous and I wanted to see if it
the WF stone measured up. If his stone was signifcantly better I would have
considered buying theirs instead. Before I went to him i asked him for a
sarin and a Bscope on that particular diamond.


When I met with him again, he had ran a sarin but no Bscope or anything
similar. He then proceeded to tell me that all of those types of tests were
not as important as how the diamond looked to my untrained eye. He also
looked at my stone and proceeded to tell me all of the things that were
wrong with it. That was a big turn off to me. Their stone was roughly 1k
more than what I paid and the differences in the two stones was not big
enough for me to give up my WF. All in all, it came down to price and the
uneasy feeling I got from being told I made the wrong choice with the stone
I had already picked out.

Thanks for the feedback! I have an appointment with him in a couple of weeks after I get back from my mini-vacation...I''ll go in with my eyes open....but it sounds like he has what I''m looking for in my price range, so I''ll be able to go in being aware...

Here''s a follow-up to my experience with Troy and Liberty Diamond Cutters. We''ve bought a diamond from them today...they''re setting it in my provided setting and are including a full appraisal for me for free....I was also given the GIA report to bring back to them tomorrow (when I pick up the ring) to ensure that the diamond set is indeed mine...

Here''s my report:
