I am newly engaged and I was looking for a jeweler to recreate a ring design I had seen on YouTube. I had already received quotes from several well known Tampa Bay Jewelers when I came across Meridian Diamond with a five star rating. I decided to give them a call to inquire if they even do ring design as they appeared to be primarily diamond buyers. I spoke with Jonathan (one of the two brothers that own the company) and he assured me that they do ring design, so I made an appointment. I met with both Jonathan and Scott and I provided them pictures and detailed specifications of what I was looking for, by this time I was an expert and knew exactly what I wanted because I had previously met with the other jewelers. Astonishingly, their price came in almost 40% lower than the other "wholesale" jewelers that had provided me quotes. I was very skeptical at first, I am a believer in you get what you pay for, but I really liked dealing with Jonathan and Scott, I could tell they knew the business and the write-ups from other reviewers made me feel more comfortable. I am so thrilled that I chose them. They were very professional and took care of everything from the computer design to the finished piece. They were very meticulous and ensured it was done right. Scott, the one handling the design process, kept me informed every step of the way. The ring turned out beautiful, exactly what it looked like on YouTube. The appraiser was very impressed with the design and quality of the stones used in the ring. They will absolutely be my go to jeweler from now on. They are truly great people to work with and if you want a top quality piece at truly wholesale prices dont hesitate to call them.

Meridian Diamond is hands down the best place to buy (and sell) a diamond. I was doing both, which can be an overwhelming process. While I did not have the pleasure of dealing with Jonathan, working with Scott was the most seamless and thorough experience I could have wished for. From the first time I talked with Scott on the phone until the present, which is after the sale, he has been a true professional. He is knowledgeable, straight-forward and upfront, punctual, and great at communicating everything in easy to understand terms (even if you dont need that). I had a ring to sell, and wanted to buy an even better one. Scott explained exactly how the selling and buying process worked, and then we set up a time for him to show me a variety of diamonds that could be what I was looking for. The choices were excellent, and I happily chose a diamond that was bigger, clearer and more brilliant than I could have imagined, all at a price lower than many other stones of inferior size and quality. We then worked TOGETHER to modify a mounting to fit the stone and create what my now fiancée calls, "The most perfect and beautiful ring she has ever seen." Scott is great, and if you want to feel completely comfortable with the diamond buying or selling process, and find what your significant other will undeniably describe as the most perfect piece they have ever seen, choose Meridian Diamond. Thanks guys!!

Absolutely the best buying experience possible. Jonathan and Scott are the owners of this business and they will change the way you buy diamonds. It is the ONE ON ONE on one personal attention that you recieve that makes this the best place to make your next diamond or gemstone purchase. No show room, no commission sales person, no hype, no pressure. All you have to do is describe what you are looking for, and they have a large inventory of diamonds to show you - one customer at a time. They will compare and constrast several stones for you to consider, and provide you information in a friendly relaxed setting. My wife and I made an appointment and met with them and were shown several diamonds that could fit the bill for our 20th wedding anniversary. Jonathan and Scott Terry are third generation diamond brokers and helped us make a great purchase at a great price. We actually had to meet with them on two seperate occassions before we made our decision, and that was perfectly acceptable with them. They truly want for you to be able to buy your diamond with no buyers remorse, and for you understand exactly what you have purchased. Do yourself a favor, make an appointment and experience the way that diamonds should be purchased. We are looking forward to seeing them again.

Meridian Diamond Buyers is an excellent place to do business, whether youre looking to sell, buy, or simply get an appraisal done. Run by two brothers (who are THIRD generation gemologists), they bring HONEST, quality experience to the table. Expect hospitality and professionalism from this organization. I was lucky to have Jonathan appraise a ring I bought for my fiancée; he offered the fairest price around. These guys are so good at what they do, that without telling him a single detail about the ring, he was able to tell me where I bought it from and when the diamonds were cut, with complete accuracy. Thats a seriously good eye! I would recommend any family and friends in the Tampa area who are in the market for buying/selling/appraising their jewelry to at least consider doing business with Meridian Diamond Buyers. Thanks for everything, Meridian!

I worked with Scott remotely to create and purchase the perfect engagement ring for my now-fiance. It would usually be scary making a large purchase like that from someone over 1,000 miles away, whom youve never met in-person, but Scott was excellent! Scott was super-transparent and helpful, in terms of educating me about every tiny detail of each stone we considered. He was great with communication and responding to my questions. He bent over backwards to meet my tight timeline. At one point, I basically forced him to up-sell me a more expensive stone, and he talked me down to a stone that was a better value, and ultimately looked amazing in the ring he created. I was referred by a friend- hence living in TX and working with a jeweler in FL. And from this point forward, Ill refer everyone I know to Meridian.

My wife and I owned a diamond ring that we decided to sell. After shopping around with 6 of the most prominent Diamond and Jewelry buying stores in the Tampa Bay area, we found the Terry brothers at “Meridian Diamonds” to be of the highest integrity and most sincere in explaining how the diamond buying process works. Jonathan and Scott were both extremely pleasant and explained everything about our diamond in layperson terms. Also, their fair and reasonable offer to buy our diamond was most attractive and once our price was agreed upon, we were paid on the spot. My wife and I would highly recommend using Jonathan and Scott at “Meridian Diamonds” for selling or purchasing diamonds, jewelry and watches. Thank you Jonathan and Scott…”Meridian Diamonds” is the BEST! Bruce Hill

Finding these guys was such a relief... I had an old engagement ring that I had sitting around for years that I wanted to sell. I spent so much time and energy trying to go to every diamond buyer in Tampa to find someone to give me a fair and honest price. I finally found these guys, two brothers and so polite, they both explained what no one else would for me, took their time and showed me the whole process of what they planned to do with my diamond, and offered me a great price right off the bat. I will be recommending them to all of my friends that ever need to sell anything or are looking to buy something in the future! Cheers guys and thanks again!
