Lumera Diamonds

Live in Dallas/Ft. Worth area, so checked pricing at a couple of the big diamond wholesalers first. Found something I liked, and decided to google online and see if anything was better quality/pricewise. Looked at Lumera's site and found better diamond for about $350 less. 1.08 carat, cushion cut, color G, clarity VVS1, excellent polish, very good cut, looked great in photo. Saw some bad reviews of Lumera but most were positive so took a chance since they had guarantee. Diamond arrived when they said, and it looked better than I could have asked for. Very pleased and wouldn't hesitate to order from them again. We picked ring setting separately so fiancee could get what she liked as this wasn't either of our first times at marriage.

I bought a gold solitaire 1 ct. diamond and I had the best experience. Of all the places I looked I had the best customer experience, found the best prices, and in the end was greatly satisfied. Would highly recommend shopping here... you won't be disappointed. Thanks again to this company and those who work here. I'm very thankful.

Hi Joe,

We received the 1.26 Oval D VS2 today, and my wife loves this diamond more than the first one that was lost! It cost us $1,250 less (I paid via bank wire) buying at Lumera vs. a local jeweler where we previously viewed the exact GIA diamond.

After receiving the diamond earlier today, we took it straight to the jeweler that is designing the replacement ring. Ironically, he was upset he could not find it to sell to us; even though, he had five weeks to look for the diamond.

I am looking forward to the $200 referral fee I will be getting when I refer my friend who will be getting engaged soon. Thanks for all your help!

I first started looking for a diamond a year ago for an engagement. I started with a jeweler my parents used, who was great, but did not have as much to choose from as I would like. From there I started looking online for advice, and found diamonds for sale online (which had never occurred to me). I originally worked with another retailer, who had great selection, but not the best service. I felt like I was being sold instead of helped.

I originally found Lumera using their diamond education section (which is the best I found anywhere - lots of details and explanation and zero selling ("e.g. you should buy a diamond at least this big...)). Anyway, spoke to a consultant, and was immediately struck by two things: extremely knowledgeable and very to-the-point. I did not feel like I was being sold something, or that he was trying to figure out how much I could spend, or tell me what I needed to hear in order to make a purchase. Instead he gave me very direct and specific answers to my many questions, and corrected a lot of assumptions I was making (most of which actually led me to spend less, since I was overestimating the clarity I needed). I found this approach to be awesome for what I needed - facts and honest help. I ended up doing most of the communication through email, which was actually really nice, since it kept everything in writing and allowed me to refer back.

The primary reason I purchased from Lumera was I trusted their advice. Their prices are as low or lower than others I saw, and there were more diamonds to choose from than I needed. I had read reviews that basically complained they will not extend their return past the stated 30 days, but that was not an issue for me (as long as the policy is clear and understandable, I would feel silly demanding they change it just for me). I actually returned the first diamond I bought when I found out she wanted a different shape, and replaced it with another, no problem. All in all, great experience. I would recommend them to anyone who sort of recognizes that buying something of very high value that you know little about is fraught with danger, and what you need more than anything is advice you can trust.

Our 40th anniversary was approaching and I wanted to surprise my wife with something a bit more special than the previous 39 - a round diamond of excellent cut, G or H color and VS2 to S2 clarity and 2 plus carats in size seemed like it would be the answer. I visited jewelry stores, diamond brokers and five online web sites to do as much due diligence as I could in the time that I had. I kept coming back to Lumera because their selection was outstanding, their prices were more than competitive, their education on diamonds was superb, and their on-line assistance was exemplary.

I had the good fortune to deal with a rep who essentially found the diamond that I was searching for and recommended it to me. Based on the criteria that I had given him, he suggested a 2.34 carat round diamond of Excellent cut, H color and S/2 clarity. I had some concern about the clarity but he assured me that the inclusions weren't visible to the naked eye and that the diamond's other characteristics and price far out-weighed the S/2 clarity (which no one would see anyway except under a 10 power microscope). I decided to go with his suggestion.

The diamond arrived on time, and I had the diamond until I presented it on our anniversary. "Did she like it?" you ask. "More than I can say in a family review!" is my answer. We had it placed in a platinum setting and it is now part of a three ring group with the diamond being the "shining star." If you are persuing a diamond, go with Lumera - your recipient will love you for it!

PS I have since had the diamond appraised by a reputable jeweler - the dollar amount was significantly higher that what Lumera charged me.
