The ring that Diamond Brokers of Florida created is absolutely beautiful, crafted with incredible precision and care. My fiance's reaction when she saw the ring was priceless and I have to thank Jan from DBOF for helping me create a perfect moment. Jan was incredibly helpful with the entire process, helping select the highest quality diamonds and matching my desired setting to a tee. I will recommend their services to any of my friends and family - the level of craftsmanship is exquisite and their service is unparalleled.

Jan helped me find the perfect engagement ring! Not only did it impress my fiance, who often stares at it in wonder as it sparkles, but it impressed her parents and friends beyond belief. The ring truly out sparkles any others I have seen.
While buying a ring from most sellers is nerve-racking and uncomfortable, Jan made the process reassuring. Jan's patience and professionalism were unmatched by any other jeweler I contacted in person or on the internet. Through prompt replies to my many emails, Jan answered every question, sent multiple pictures, and satisfied my very detailed requests. She did a great job!
As I will tell all my friends, I highly recommend that you buy your engagement ring from Jan at DBOF!

I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive about making such a big purchase from someone I never met.
The internet is full of scammers trying to make a buck using fake reports and such. I was able to run across the DT forum and was able to educate myself and find a reliable dealer like Jan. I bought a stunning 1.24ct ring with a full GIA report along with a Gemex light performance analysis. I am grateful to Jan for getting me such a lovely ring to propose to the girl I plan on spending the rest of my life with

Overall, I had a great online experience with DBOF, and would definitely recommend them. I was initially nervous about buying jewelry "over the Internet", but Jan was able to answer any questions I had thoroughly and promptly, and with their competitive pricing, I can't imagine doing this any other way. Same jewelry, better price, better service, zero hassle. Thanks Jan!!

I bought my first ring from Jan and Brad back in 1991, another one in 1994 and just upgraded this past week with them! I have also purchased a necklace, bracelet, and diamond earrings from them along with my husband's wedding band. They are both fantastic people, extremely patient and kind and very easy to work with. The professional service and competitive prices can't be beat! We highly recommend that if you are serious about a diamond purchase and expect only the best, head to Jan and Brad today! You will not be disappointed!

We are extremely pleased with the service and the beautiful diamond that we received from DBOF. Jan was extremely patient with us and always responded quickly to our numerous e-mails full of questions. We told her what we were looking for in a diamond for an engagement ring setting, and she identified the perfect diamond for us. Bruce ordered it and proposed last week, and it is absolutely stunning! Everyone who sees the ring comments on the brilliance of the diamond, and even the appraiser commented how well-cut it is. It sparkles like crazy in every kind of light, and we really could not be any happier. We have told everyone we know about DBOF, and we will certainly be making any future diamond purchases only from them. Thank you again for helping to make an important purchase such an easy and positive experience.

We just finished another successful transaction with DBOF. We upgraded my diamond to a larger one. We received 100% credit for my original diamond and were able to upgrade to any amount that we wanted to. This was one of the many things we liked about DBOF initially. Most other companies require you to upgrade to double the original amount spent.
Once we let Jan know we wanted to upgrade, she immediately sent us info on several diamonds. We chose one and Jan sent us the diamond to view for a 7 day inspection period. This was nice because it gave us a chance to view the diamond in various lighting situations including sunlight, fluorescent light, candlelight, etc. Once we decided we wanted the diamond, we exchanged lots of e-mails discussing setting options. We had the diamond back within one week from the time we sent it to them for mounting. Brad always takes great care in setting the diamond perfectly in the mounting, which is another one of the many things we like about DBOF.
The price of the diamond was reasonable and the quality is always there. We like knowing they only offer great diamonds to start with. They personally inspect each and every one and only offer the cream of the crop. This is quite valuable since you can’t choose a diamond based on numbers. A well trained eye is one of your best resources.
We have found DBOF to be honest and offer really beautiful diamonds at a fair price.
The new diamond is an absolute stunner and is showcased beautifully in the elegant mounting.
Thanks for everything Brad and Jan. We will be back!

I recently received a Gelin-Abaci tension ring from DBOF. It totally exceeded expectations in any way imaginable. I'm in Michigan and had to order this ring sight unseen, and had to be convinced to jump into this internet diamond buying on a leap of faith. I echo the sentiments of the others who've left feedback here: it was a smooth, easy, honest transaction that couldn't have gone smoother, and the price significantly beat local jewelers.
Jan was prompt and courteous in her responses to my incessant emails about this purchase, and that helped set my mind at ease. I would recommend DBOF to anyone looking to buy a diamond on the web. Thanks - she said "yes" by the way.

Brad & Jan are wonderful to work with! I ordered an ArtCarved diamond band and it is even prettier in person than online. They are very knowledgeable about diamonds and very patient. The quality of all their jewelry is outstanding! I will do more business with them and will gladly recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for diamonds, settings, or that unique creation. Thank you to Brad and Jan for everything!

Even though you have access to the greatest selection of diamonds online, it seems to contain a potential minefield of issues. If you're new to this gig, the sad truth is that no one can tell you the BEST THING TO DO. You have to make up your own mind on:
1) Who you trust for a fair deal
2) What you're really expecting to get out of it
Thankfully DBOF has gone the extra step of providing BrillianceScope reports for their gems. While its not a perfect system I would consider it a valuable tool for painting a better picture of a stone that may be hundreds of miles away locked in some vault. Even with return guarantees, you may be paying $50 for your Insured Fedex return. This is an expensive way to window shop!
DBOF was helpful in determining the best options for me and I ended up with a beautiful stone that knocks the socks off of anything I've seen locally in the same price range.

I started my diamond search at mall stores, one dishonest local jeweler, BlueNile.com, and UnionDiamond.com. Luckily I found DBOF. I emailed Jan my specifications; the next day she replied back with a couple things I was interested in. I was stubborn and unknowledgable, trying to see if BlueNile or Union could save me a buck for a similar diamond. Boy was I wrong!
I had the chance to visit their Melbourne store about a month into my shopping. Brad spent an hour showing me four different stones and several setting, using a microscope, a loop, a heart-and-arrows viewer. He even showed me gemologist techniques for comparing diamond color. The shop closed, but Brad continued to talk with me for an hour after closing. He gave me tons of info.
I finally found a setting I wanted by a designer DBOF sells, but they don't make the setting any longer, and they never offered it in 18kt white gold. Jan called the designer personally and convinced them to custom make a setting from their existing molds, in the metal and finish I wanted. 8 weeks later, Jan called to ship the ring. It was overnighted USPS, registered and insured. Amazing ring, amazing service.
Trust these people...they do not want to swindle you!!! There is no need to haggle on price, because I checked most everyone else. They only offer to sell you wonderful diamonds, and they sell them at prices even with their wholesale competition. The knowledge and service they provide is invaluable, and they are the most honest jewelers I have met. A 3-month search for the perfect diamond ring could have been saved if I would have trusted DBOF from the start.

We had spent the last 4 and 1/2 years searching for a branded Royal Asscher diamond locally and on-line when I learned of DBOF through various chat rooms and message boards. Skeptical to purchase a stone over the internet, from a vendor outside of my own state, at a price that seemed too good to be true, I tried numerous searches to find a negative posting or an unhappy customer in relation to DBOF. There simply weren't any to be found. So, we put our faith in Jan, and we're so glad we did! We took the diamond to our local jewler to select a mounting (in hind-sight, we should have done this through DBOF as well!), the jewler kept trying to convince us to purchase a similar
diamond and mouting through him--saying that he'd cut us a deal. We explained that we did not believe he would be able to compete with DBOF's price, and with three or four tries, he didn't even come close. DBOF's professionalism, prices, and care for their customers outranks any shopping experience I've had--making our 4 1/2 year search definitely worth the wait. Put any hesitation aside. You will not do better than DBOF!

Jan and Brad are the BEST!! After talking to both of them extensively (they never seemed rushed or pushy) I still couldn't decide between two stones...so they sent me BOTH to inspect for 7 days. How classy is that?! They made shipping a breeze and I know my diamond is everything they said it was and more. You have nothing to lose by buying from them and a lot of money to save!

My problem: to find a US based supplier that could source a special order white gold Ritani ring and send it to the UK within two weeks.
My solution: Jan and Brad who managed the affair remarkably well given the circumstances which even included a change of destination - Antigua. Top marks to the team for helpfulness, trust and efficiency. Long may they prosper.

I purchased a Gelin-Abaci tension set ring (TR-045) in 14kt yellow gold with a .72 ct. VS1 G Ideal cut round diamond. It's simply lovely. The stone is like white fire, and this particular setting holds the diamond aloft and exposes it from every angle. It's quite something. This was a 5th wedding anniversary gift for my wife and the ring has cemented an already good marriage even more closely.
Jan was so easy-going and happy to work with. Brad was a really nice guy to talk to, and gave some good advice that the beauty of a particular diamond is more than the sum of its specifications (cut angles, table size, etc.). Some may raise an eyebrow at making such a large purchase from a company over the Internet: good for you, be careful and be smart! But I would suggest that you have no trepidation in purchasing from DBOF. They've had a stable business for many years and it appears from reading the comments of others (both here and in other online forums) that I am just one of many *very* satisfied customers.
Jan, Brad: thanks so very much. You made something so beautiful affordable for me, and did so graciously.
Jim

I decided to have my emerald cut solitaire remounted in a Gelin-Abaci tension mount for my ten year wedding anniversary (I'd been lusting after tension mountings since seeing them a month after receiving my engagement ring!) The local jeweler who handles Gelin-Abaci didn't seem to know much about the settings and gave me a price that seemed rather high. So I decided to do some research on the internet and that's when I kept reading about Jan at DBOF. When I emailed her with some questions I always received prompt and very well-informed replies...plus a price quote that was almost half of what the local jeweler wanted. I decided to go with Jan, and within a few weeks received back my absolutely gorgeous ring in the perfect setting. I would do business with Diamond Brokers of Florida again without any hesitation.

I bought a pair of round brilliant diamond studs from DBOF a couple of weeks ago and a friend brought them back for me from the States.
DBOF has FABULOUS customer service. It was the first time purchasing diamonds off the Internet for me and I was very apprehensive buying stones unseen, in addition to that I did not reside in the U.S. However I was also very discouraged by the high prices in the B&M shops here. I actually emailed another vendor, but Jan was the fastest and most consistent in replying. She sent me pictures of the AGS reports, brilliancescope reports and loose stones. She also answered the many questions I had and did not get impatient at all when I kept bugging her. Ü
I am really happy with the earrings and the quality of the stones. I would have had to pay 60% or more above the amount for the same here. Everyone who has seen the earrings so far thinks the size of the earrings are larger than they actually are and that they give off a lot of fire and light. It has been a great experience buying from DBOF and I would definitely like to do so again when the opportunity arises.

Jan and Brad are the best!!! Exceptional customer service, great prices, trustworthy, professional work and above all, lots of integrity and very honest!!
I was skeptical initially of buying a diamond over the internet. DBOF made the experience so easy and relaxed, it went beyond my expectations. Jan and Brad were very patient as they brought in numerous stones so they could examine them for me. I changed my mind a few times on budget, size and type of stone. They took the time to send me multitudes of photos, reports and answered my questions verbally and via emails sometimes within minutes.
The stone and setting are quite amazing. I/we purchased a 1.62 H/Si1, round brilliant Ideal cut and Brad set the fireball in a DVatche Royal Crown setting. My finance was/is over the moon with this brilliant stone, as it sparkles, shimmers and is quite stunning even in minimal lighting. I was quite taken aback the first time we placed the diamond in direct sunlight. The best way to describe the diamond is it radiates light and color like a mini prism.
We went to numerous brick and mortar jewelry shops as we decided what type of stone my GF wanted just as a preliminary search. Comparing the stone we bought at DBOF to what we viewed at the mall stores was no contest. Hands down in a complete rout, the WINNER was DBOF. I wish I would have done business with DBOF at Xmas, as I bought my girlfriend a pair of diamond studs at a local jewelry shop. That was a big mistake on my part as those stones just don’t have the pizzazz or the value compared to the stone purchased at DBOF. Live and learn, but my next jewelry purchase will be with DBOF. They have earned a repeat future customer and will always receive referrals from us.
Seriously, do yourself a favor if you are in the market for jewelry/diamonds and DO NOT hesitate to do business with DBOF. They will guide you in making the best selection, at a great price with quality that will turn heads. They also are real nice people and I would give them a 5 star rating.
Thank You Jan and Brad!!!
Charles and Dina

I just received my wedding ring, and the diamond is twice as nice as anything I saw in any upper scale jewelry store. When I asked the mall guys if they had excellent cut diamonds, they all looked at me like I was crazy. Cut is king, and this diamond sparkles twice as bright as any of the "good" cut diamonds I saw.
I bought my diamond from the internet because it was the only place I could find really good diamonds, that were not priced over $10,000.
I bought from this site because they were always the quickest to respond to my inquires, and gave great advice on their inventory. My ring just appraised for almost twice what I paid.
Here is some good advice. Buy your from this site. Not only will you pay less, but you will get higher quality. If you absolutely feel that this is not the case, return the diamond.
Thanks Diamond Brokers,
Jason

I recently purchased an engagement ring from Jan, and couldn't be happier with the great service and quality that I received from DBOF. My fiance loves the ring, as well as everyone that sees it.-It is very unique, and it really sparkles! I ordered a tension set Gelin-Abaci with an ideal h&a diamond. I would definitely recommend DBOF to everybody!

My boyfriend Scott and I got in touch with Jan and Brad in August after local searches for a princess cut made us discouraged.
Scott was initially hesitant of buying off the Internet, but he soon warmed to the idea, thanks mostly to Jan and Brad. Jan was also ready, willing and able to talk and help, responded to emails within minutes and was always pleasant to talk to. She never pushed, always had great suggestions and made me feel like I was her only customer.
We picked a Brilliant Fire princess cut and had it shipped to our home for viewing. The minute we opened the box we were in love. It was obvious how much more lively this diamond was than any other we had seen.
After a trip to an appraiser to verify the stone was what Jan and Brad said it was, we decided to buy the stone.
But our journey with Brad and Jan did not end there.
I spend the next few weeks talking with Jan about possible settings and she sent me picture after picture of ideas. We decided on a setting and Jan hand picked my four side stones.
Brad's work on the setting is beautiful. The ring is a piece of art. He even re-did the center prongs after realizing they were set too high.
I finally got the ring on Nov. 2 when Scott officially proposed after I finished the New York Marathon.
The only thing I remember about that whirlwind moment is saying, "that thing is huge!" when I saw the ring.
My sister's boyfriend looked at the ring later that day and said: "You need sunglasses to look at that thing!"
I get compliments everywhere I go.
This ring is so much more beautiful than I expected. It is blindingly white in my office, sparkles like mad in the dark andis full of rainbows in sunlight.
I plan to go through Jan and Brad for my wedding band and any other diamond jewelry I buy over the years.
No one can match their service and the diamonds they sell!

If you are looking for a great diamond talk to Jan, you will also save yourself a lot of time and you will get a great deal. I had spent several months researching diamonds and visiting the many stores and dealers here in New York City before I contacted Jan, and I would have saved a considerable amount of time if I had contacted her earlier.
Jan was immediately able to send me information on a fantastic stone that she had at the store which met my exact specifications. More information than I usually got from visiting other dealers in New York in person. Virtually perfect cut, superb brilliance, centrally clean and much better value for money than what I had previously seen.
Brad did a fantastic job of mounting the stone, and it was delivered to me within 5 days. I never had to visit the store
The stone, ring and the high quality of setting work have been commented on by friends and colleagues here, including a Tiffany gemologist.
My fiancee loves it!!!

I found DBOF on the Internet, but since I live in the area...I visited the showroom. Jan was very helpful, knowledgeable, and spent a lot of time helping me select the perfect diamond for my fiance's ring.
I was impressed by the equipment she had available to view the diamond's cut and clarity, and she gave me a very good education on the importance of the cut. The price was very competitive, but the quality for the price was exceptional. I had visited the mall stores for months, and never found a diamond even close to the beauty of the one Jan helped me pick out.
We will definitely be back to get our wedding bands from Jan.

My fiancée and I would like to thank Jan and Brad of DBOF. Jan found the most beautiful sparkly loose diamond and Brad did a wonderful job in mounting the diamond / ring. :)
I found Jan to be very helpful, resourceful and professional. She is honest with her opinions and helpful with her suggestions. I quickly learned to trust her judgement and value her input. Jan is an expert in this field who is truly dedicated and committed to making all her clients very happy. It really was a pleasure to work with her.
I highly recommend DBOF services to everyone. If there is anyone out there who wants any type of diamond, I'm sure Jan can find it for you. :)
Thank you Jan. Thank you Brad. You've made our engagement so much more special! :)
Paul

Long story short. I am extremely happy with my recent purchase. Jan and Brad spend extra time with me via email and delivered the ring when scheduled. Jan and Brad also took time to explain the ring’s qualities to my family when they stopped by their store. Do not worry when making a purchase with DBOF over the internet. This was my first internet purchase ever and I couldn’t be more satisfied (unless it was free). Thanks Jan and Brad and I am sorry it took me so long to email you back. She said yes.

I was initially a bit hesitant about purchasing an engagement ring over the internet, but after emailing and speaking with Jan my apprehension was quickly put to rest. She responded to all my email inquiries in a kind, professional, and timely fashion. I received the ring yesterday and it looks beautiful. I would feel very comfortable in recommending Diamond Brokers of Florida, and would certainly do business with them in the future. Thanks, Jan and Brad - Sincerely, Mike.

My experience with DBOF could not have been better. Jan made my search for the perfect engagement ring a painless and wonderful experience. Jan was always there help, and responded to all my emails almost immediately. She helped me in every way possible, and made me feel very comfortable. I was kept informed throughout the entire process, I couldn't have asked for better service. DBOF's level of service is top notch!
There is not a day that goes by where my Fiance doesn't receive several compliments on how beautiful her ring is! Needless to say she absolutely loves the ring.
I have already recommended DBOF to serveral people, and will continue to do so...DBOF is simply the greatest. Thanks again Jan for all your help!

We are reminded every day how happy we are with our purchase from DBOF when we look at our beautiful Wedding rings! Our budget was limited and we had searched for weeks at every chain jewelery store in Central Florida. The Wedding set we purchased from Jan and Brad is better than anything else we found, even rings at twice the price we paid. When friends see the rings it literally takes their breath away...Quality is both obvious and stunning! We are customers for life.

Jan,
Carrie and I love the ring!! I asked her to marry me the same day I got the ring (I couldn't wait, ha ha!) and she said yes. I am extremely happy with the ring and very satisfied with the service you provided us. I will recommend you to all my friends!!
Thanks for all your help and making this whole process a pleasure.

My husband and I purchased a new diamond from Jan and Brad for our 10th anniversary. The new stone is a beautiful 1.59 Ct Round Brilliant and we could not be more pleased with the stone. Jan and Brad also made a pendant and earrings from the 3 stones in my original engagement ring. The results were stunning. I found Jan to be very patient and helpful during my pursuit for the perfect diamond for me. I recently had the diamond and Ritani setting appraised and the appraisal was 2 times what my husband and I paid! DBOF offers excellent service, quality and prices. I recommend them above anyone else!

I purchased a wonderful .662 AGS000 VS1 F round brilliant from Jan at a fair price. The diamond has met my high expectations and reaffirms the great reputation dbof has on the online forums. Jan was very patient and responsive to all my questions and requests and worked with my desired ring designer. Jan recommended a smaller carat weight diamond than I initially wanted, but the excellent quality of the diamond makes it appear larger than it actually is. My fiancee and I had looked at diamonds from HoF and 8*, but this diamond recommended by Jan is every bit as beautiful. We are very satisfied with our purchase.

In short: I'm happy...I did my homework, spending hours and hours learning about diamonds, settings, and jewelers (both Brick and Mortar as well and internet). Places like diamondtalk and pricescope were very helpful, and I even emailed people who had left comments here. Everyone had nothing but positive things to say about Diamond Brokers of Florida.
More about my experience: I wanted a princess cut, with certain table and depth percentages as well as color and clarity specs. Jan immediately had a few stones that fit my criteria. I kept looking, but hands down decided that DBOF's diamond was the best for me, and at a good price. Jan was great about emailing info like the GIA and other reports. She also helped arrange the appraisal with an independent company. I had the stone appraised by someone again (local) and it was all good. Maybe I overdid it with 2 appraisals, but I am very careful about such big purchases. My diamond experience with DBOF was 100 percent awesome.
Jan and I went through some setting ideas, and she was great about emailing photos and suggestions. I decided on a Vatche setting, but wanted a Euroshank modification (not so normal). Jan was also helpful on helping me decide the exact size.
Things took a little longer than we had hoped, but that is understandable since it was a very custom setting (it was out of her control since it was done at the Vatche shop). We also had a sizing issue, apparently a Vatche issue as well. We kept communicating throughout the process and I never felt worried that things wouldn't work out.
Those two issues are heavily overshadowed by the beauty of the diamond and the setting.
I would definitely recommend DBOF. I am now in the process of the wedding band; likely to be another vatche custom job. DBOF is my number one place.

Outstanding! Professional, honest, sincere and above all helpful. I admit to being skeptical at first. WOW, was I mistaken! Jan was a blessing to work with, helping procure the perfect stone. I never expected such a positive experience at such a reasonable price. No one else can match the complete quality of DB of FL. I wholely recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional stone at a bargain price.

Thank you for working with me so well and often. I purchased a diamond online but live only 2 hours away so went for a visit as well to see some stones in person. I was very pleased with the service, quality (1.1 VS2 E H&A), selection of ring (tension set Gelin and Abaci) and the price. The price was lower than I could find on any other web broker and certainly thousands cheaper than the malls. Thank you Jan for everything.

Jan & Brad,
Thank you so much for all your hard work. You guys did such a great job all the way through the process. You answered all of my questions just as fast as I could ask them, and the end result was a beautiful diamond that is even better than I had imagined. By the way...she loves it!!!!!
To anyone that is nervous about buying a diamond off the internet: don't worry...as long as you are dealing with Jan and Brad.
Thanks again!
Shane

I am about to purchase a pair of pear shaped diamonds of just over 1/2 carat each to use as accent stones for a ring I am making with a red spinel I own. I just arranged to buy the pears from Jan and Brad from whom I also bought the spinel (which glows like a red traffic light), of course!
I had bought diamonds from two other vendors on the 'net before getting to know Jan and Brad. I have no regrets about the purchases I made from those other vendors; they, also, were reputable.
I got to know Jan and Brad in March of 2000 in an on-line diamond forum, however, and have been buying happily from them ever since. I have gotten more satisfaction from them than from anyone else.
They have sold me several "small" diamonds (of .50 carats or less) as well as cultured pearl earrings and strands of cultured pearls.
As other customers have said, Jan and Brad are very honest. They offer excellent prices along with very, very courteous, friendly service. No one at Diamond Brokers of Florida will ever speak brusquely to you no matter how tired he is or how bad a day he has had.
Jan and Brad are completely trustworthy and lovely to work with.
You can find me on-line at Pricescope and Diamond Chit Chat with the user name: A Girl's Best Friend (AGBF). My postings are also available on Diamond Talk. They, also, were posted under the name "A Girl's Best Friend" and signed AGBF. If you cannot find them under that name, try MadAsHell. (I may be listed under that appellation.) The point is, I am an experienced consumer whom you can contact for further references should you wish to do so.

I just wanted to send you a brief note thanking you for your help and advice - I asked my girlfriend to marry me on Saturday and she said
yes! (although to be fair she said yes BEFORE she saw the ring :) ).
She loved the stone and setting, and I thank you for the level of service that DBOF provided to me - although I had "sources" in Manhattan, to me it's more than just price - although you were
extremely competitive. In my case, I chose a DVatche setting.
To others thinking of purchasing from you - I highly recommend to anyone considering a diamond ring purchase to contact Diamond Brokers of Florida before looking elsewhere. As someone who is comfortable with online purchases, I can honestly say that this buying decision was incredibly easy and honest.

In my opinion, what sets DBofFL apart is the attention to customer service. Jan helped me find a beautiful princess with great fire, and a super platinum setting. She's always good with keeping you informed via email, answering questions quickly. Since I needed the ring resized, it was great that they send the ring with a return box to send back via US govt insured registered mail. If the idea of buying a diamond online is a bit unsettling, just read the testimonials, and then give them a call or email.
Thanks DBofFl!

I just want to say that my experience with DB was a very satisfying one! I was very apprehensive about spending so much money on something I did not see with my own eyes first, but I can assure you that after I wired the money my diamond arrived the next day, just as promised (very securely and privately wrapped and boxed) and was absolutely stunning! As a woman, I especially felt comfortable dealing with Jan as I never felt she was talking down to me or being pushy. Jan gave me the information on each stone without any pressure and answered all my questions without becoming impatient. I know if I were to buy the same diamond retail it would cost thousands of dollars more! I would highly recommend dealing with Diamond Brokers of Florida!

Had a lot of concerns and questions buying an engagement ring from the internet. Jan did a great job in providing information on the diamond which helped me with my decision. Bought a 1 carat, H&A diamond, superideal cut with VH3/VH3/VH2 Brilliance Scopes. Got engaged two weeks ago and was waiting to see what comments there would be. EVERYONE loves the ring, the diamond is incredibly sparkly with fantastic light return. The color of my fiancee's diamond is not that high (wanted to stay within budget) but it faces up super due to the great cut. Have yet to see one around here that can match the beauty and sparkle of her stone. Thanks Jan and Brad for everything!

I started off by taking a trip to a well known “commercial” jewelry store chain. After staring at diamonds for about 30 minutes with this annoying sales lady giving me every line in the book, I still wasn’t happy with what I was seeing. My vision of the ring I was going to be giving my future wife didn’t look this simple and cloudy.
As I continued my search on the internet I stumbled upon a website called www.diamondtalk.com. As I read the posts on people’s experiences with purchasing diamonds I started to notice that DBOF was repeatedly recommended. After exploring their site for a few days I decided to call directly to ask some questions. After talking to Jan I felt like we were BOTH trying to decide what would be the best diamond to buy, not just trying to sell me something to get it off the shelf. She made the whole process so easy. After I selected the diamond that I had envisioned about all this time, I felt completely comfortable purchasing a ring I had never even seen before. When I received the ring I was absolutely amazed. You can tell Jan and Brad delivered a diamond that they would be proud of. They definitely have two life long customers.

My engagement ring purchase with DBOF was a pleasing one. I got the stone I wanted, the mounting I wanted and a very competitive price. The stone, mounting and the clear, respectful communication throughout the whole purchase process significantly exceeded my expectations. After I saw the stone during the evaluation period, and felt a sense of the DBOF professionalism... I decided to send some repeat business. DBOF is in process of turning an old engagement ring I never offered into a set of earrings for a bridal gift.

You're probably reading this because like me at the time, what you are contemplating doing seems very risky. Well, I bought a diamond engagement ring from DBOF and am very pleased with their sterling service and words cannot express the joy my fiancée displayed when she opened the box.
My search for a diamond started near where I worked in London (UK). I had no idea of what diamonds were and how much they cost. I would spend lunchtimes visiting the famed 'Hatton Garden' shops but I was shocked to see how expensive diamonds were. I quickly smarted my knowledge on the 4 C's and asked my friends how they got their 'rock'. Never in my mind did I intend to buy such an important and precious item over the internet, I only used the wealth of information to help me understand what made a diamond desirable, but I stumbled on DBOF's website, which had a user-friendly search option. I immediately found the C's which fit my requirements and was amazed to see how much more affordable the jewels were than in the local shops. It just shows how profit orientated this industry is and how a little effort will pay off handsomely. Even at this point, I was still weary and began researching more about DBOF and found so many compliments about their service on chat sites such as diamondtalk.com. I dug up the courage and called DBOF to ask about a particular stone. Jan is the perfect diamond salesperson. She made me feel at ease straight away and her gemological knowledge is astounding. The best thing about it was that buying a diamond has an incredible personal experience and I felt that everytime I spoke to her, she shared that feeling. I did not feel pressured at all, and all my questions no matter how simple were answered very quickly. She also helped me in understanding about cut for the particular shape I was looking for and even helped me search for a stone which had these 'ideal' dimensions.
Another big worry for me was delivery of the ring. I needed the ring in seven days when I put the order in and somehow, it arrived earlier than I expected! Considering they had to get the diamond delivered to the shop, run the various tests, mount the stone, deliver it overseas and to do all this over the Easter weekend, I am more surprised how quickly it was all done and can only congratulate Jan and Brad on their sterling work (as well as FedEx who worked on Easter Sunday!)
In summary I have had a great experience buying my diamond ring from DBOF and I will not hesitate buying from them again. Thank you for all your effort Jan and Brad. I hope to speak to you all again soon.

I emailed Jan at Diamond Brokers of Florida who was extremely helpful in finding the diamond I was looking for. I had specs, pictures, a copy of the cert, brilliance scope, and a sarin analysis emailed to me almost immediately. I already had more information about the diamond than I did at any B&M store, or other online store. It was clear after a few emails that Jan really is interested in finding the perfect diamond for someone and not just making a sale. She was very responsive to all of the emails and questions I had. When I wasn’t sure of a setting, she emailed me with several settings and had several on her web site for me to choose from. Once I decided on a diamond and setting that I liked, I decided to place the order with Jan. She was very easy to deal with and extremely helpful. I was informed throughout the entire process, which made me feel very comfortable. I received the ring last week and it is beautiful. Before it was shipped Jan sent me the tracking number and some pictures. The ring arrived triple boxed and in a very nice case. The ring is gorgeous and is very sparkly. The diamond is set very nicely as well. Jan & Brad spent a lot of time not only on helping me find the diamond/setting I was looking for, but also on setting the diamond.
I would highly recommend DBOF to anyone. Jan makes the process so easy and comfortable, you won’t have any doubts or worries about buying a diamond online. The diamonds are top quality, their customer service is fabulous, and the bench work is great! Thank you so much DBOF!!

I have been looking for my perfect ring for 4 months, and I found it at DBOF. Jan is excellent. She always answers my emails within minutes! She is very responsive to my needs. I bothered her for more than 2 months....I want this, I don't want that, and one day she found me the perfect diamond. Jan is not pushy at all. She gives you facts and advices only. My baby arrives in one big FedEx box. It comes in a nice wooden box. Documents include a comprehensive insurance appraisal, certiciates, brillianscope reading, H&A pics, megascope measurements, etc. The whole process is just very smooth and excellent! I will definitely recommend DBOF to ANYONE! Brad is excellent as well. He is a very gifted jeweler. The diamond was set perfect. Perfect arrows configuration. I can't say enough good things about DBOF!

I have 3 words to say....BRILLIANT FIRE PRINCESS. We just purchased a brilliant fire princess diamond from Diamond Broker's of Florida and WOW! It is just so gorgeous and sparkly and everything I always dreamed it would be. I have wanted to be a princess for over 30 years and now I certainly feel like one. My fiance just re-proposed to me over last weekend (my birthday as well) this time with a gorgeous princess diamond. It doesn't get any better than this! I would have to say that I highly recommend Diamond Broker's of Florida. Our buying experience was just wonderful and we got exactly want I wanted. We had shopped everywhere under the sun and still hadn't found our dazzler until, by chance (or divine intervention), we found Diamond Brokers of Florida. They are very knowledgeable, honest and very easy to work with. They provide all the documentation (GIA cert, sarin report, brilliancescope analysis, laser inspription, photos and appraisal). Plus their prices are reasonable. I wish every girl could have a diamond that makes her feel as special as mine makes me feel. I am still smiling and will be for a long, long, long time : )

Jan was very helpful in getting me the stone I wanted. I was completely satisfied, even more so when I had an independent appraisal done afterwards. My soon to be wife was delighted with the ring. I would recommend DBOF to anybody.

I had a very relaxed and painless shopping experience with Diamond Brokers of Florida! I had never shopped for an engagement ring before so I wanted to make sure that I was getting the best I could for the best price. I kept coming across DBOF's name on diamond chat forums so I thought I would check them out. I sure am glad I did! Not only could they get me the Gelin-Abaci tension setting that I wanted but their loose diamond selection and price were better than anywhere else I looked! I was still leary about buying jewerly online because I couldn't physically handle the piece, but they emailed me so much information (pictures, certifications) that I was very comfortable purchasing from them. I am sure that I was starting to annoy Jan with all the emails I sent, but she was always prompt, polite and informative. I would suggest to anyone to buy their jewerly from Diamond Brokers of Florida!

We would like to thank DBOF for the very high level of service they provided us during our search for the perfect engagement diamond ring. We couldn't be happier with the final result! Jan was always so helpful and responsive with the many questions we had along the way. She was extremely pleasant to deal with; she was never pushy, and her advice showed that she truly had our satisfaction in mind. The ring also arrived beautifully packaged. An additional benefit was the ability to purchase a comprehensive appraisal with the ring. We found that DBOF's prices can't be beat for the high level of quality they provide. We would highly recommend them to anyone in search of a diamond!

Received my absolutely beautiful 1.13F IF princess cut diamond set in a simple V-prong platinum setting from Jan today -Valentine's Day! After much indecision on my part, Jan sent the diamond to Chris at gemappraisers.com and was graded a 1B which cinched the deal! Today was the first time I actually saw the diamond. It's so fabulous! Thank you Jan and Brad!

Jan helped me find the perfect engagement ring at a good price. She let me bug her for more then a month as we searched the earth for this diamond. Once we found it, everything was painless, quick and full service so no complaints whatsoever. And the diamond she found for me is ABSOLUTELY beautiful, my fiance gets compliments all the time!!

I just received a 1.52 VVS2 H Brilliant Fire princess diamond with a Vatche X Prong setting. It is absolutely stunning! I am very happy with Diamond Brokers of Florida for 4 reasons: (1) Reputation - Check the diamond messageboards like diamondtalk.com and pricescope.com. You'll find numerous customer testimonials praising DBOF. (2) Price - Compare the same quality diamond with other stores (B&M and online) and you'll see that DBOF is very competitive. The 2% wire transfer discount was great! (3) Service - Jan is very quick in replying to emails and I was able to see the available diamonds in person in their store in West Melbourne. Internet prices with B&M convenience. (4) Documentation - Being an engineer, I love seeing numbers and documents backing things up. They provided the GIA certificate, sarin analysis, and Brilliancescope analysis. I will definitely call up Jan at DBOF when I buy my next diamond. Thanks Jan and Brad!

I just received my diamond e-ring and it's beautiful and sooooo sparkly. I can't take my eyes off of it. I just can’t say enough about Jan and Brad. The customer service is second to none and they are never pushy! Jan went out of her way to help me and answered no less than 50 emails and probably 10 phone calls from me, I was very nervous about buying over the net. I contacted her so many times that I was afraid she would get aggravated with me but she was always polite and oh so helpful. The information they provide on their diamonds is phenomenal. I felt like I knew what my diamond looked like before I ever received it. A local appraiser in my area verified everything that Jan told me about the diamond and was very impressed with the price my fiancé paid. If you want an awesome diamond at an exceptional price, don't hesitate to buy from DBOF. I will be happy to answer any questions, just email me. Thanks again Jan and Brad. You guys are the best and I will definitely recommend DBOF to all my friends and family!

Jan,
I just wanted to thank you. My girlfriend loves her ring. I really appreciate your assistance and making what could have been a painful process, easy and enjoyable.
To anyone who is considering buying a ring online, I highly recommend Jan and DBOF. I was skeptical at first, about buying on the internet. However, I read so many positive things about Jan on the bulletin boards, that I decided to give her a try. I am very happy I did so.
Thanks Again,
Steve

Diamond brokers is soooo impressive with their diamond documentation, quality and prices!!! I was stunned by how NONE of my local mall or stand alone Jewelers had a single ounce of certification or documentation to back up the majority stones they offered which cost vastly more. Plus my local jewelers stones looked like they should be used for drill bits instead of high end jewelry:)! We also tried Blue Nile online, but Diamond Brokers still beat them on the value and documentation. If your an engineer or techie like me, you will love all of the documentation and analysis that comes with their diamonds - my 1.7 CTW Diamond stud earrings had GIA certificates, Sarins reports, BrillanceScope Tests and even a short 'video' of each stones brilliance results. AWESOME!

If anyone is considering buying an engagemen ring buy it from Diamond Brokers Of Florida. This is buy far the most pleasant and comfortable buying experience I have ever had. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED I"ll be referring all of my friends to her.

I was very happy with my purchase. The ring arrived on the promised date, one day before I proposed. She adores it!
Jan replied promptly to all of my inquiries and was a great help.
To anyone considering purchasing from Diamond Brokers of Florida, I was satisfied with the entire experience - the price, the quality of the diamond, the customer service (which is the one thing I had been nervous about when purchasing on line), and the craftsmanship.

Jan was wonderful in selecting a beautiful G, 1.28ct., SI1, diamond for my finaceé's engagement ring. We worked cross country from California to Florida and it was easier than any in-store experience, Jan is a pleasure to work with via phone and email as she will send information, GIA certs and digital photos quite often within a few minutes of my sending an email question. The diamond appraiser who did the insurance appraisal could not believe the price paid for the diamond and setting. I original was going to have the diamond set here in California but ended up sending the diamond back and having Brad handle the ring and setting. the appraiser had high compliments for the craftsmanship of the stone setting. My fianceé has been ecstatic and the compliments from her married friends have been fantastic too. Listen up guys, I was shopping locally in Santa Barbara, CA and didn't get a fraction of the education,service and selection that Jan provided. Thank you Jan and Brad you made a very stressful situation quite easy and enjoyable.

I purchased a diamond from diamond brokers and have nothing but good things to say about Jan and D.B. She always replied to my emails in a very timely manner and was extremely helpful. I would highly recommend D.B. Note: it was my experience that D.B. will not go back and forth with prices, they give you the lowest price they can and that is it. For me this was nice, no used car salesman here, lowest price first! Absolutely no problems with getting the stone first, looking at it, sending it out for an appraisal and then finally saying "I'll take it!" Give D.B. a call and ask for Jan, you won't be sorry.

Very good experience with Jan during this process. Educated me on several asspects of buying a diamond ring and responded to several e-mails extreemly quick (day/night/weekend). No preasure and no ssales pitch - just facts and insight - which led me to purchase my engagement ring from them. Everyone is impressed with the ring and I am very happy I chose to do business with Dimond Brokers. Highly recomended!
Thanks Jan!

After spending numerous weekends trying to find the diamond that would fit my requirements, I sent an email to Diamond Brokers describing what I was looking for. The same day I got a reply from Jan and her recommended diamond was exactly what I was looking for. I fit perfectly into parameters of my search and the price was very reasonable. Jan has been the most helpful and patient salesperson that I had ever met. She promptly responded to all of my questions. I took my time sending the check in and, even though the cutter was getting antsy, Jan was very patient and gave me enough time to pay. As I told her, whenever I need to shop for another diamond, Diamond Brokers of Florida will be the first place where I look. Thank you very much.

There are lots of long testimonials for you to read so I will make mine brief: I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN HAPPIER WITH THE SERVICE I RECEIVED FROM DIAMOND BROKERS OF FLORIDA. From the moment I e-mailed Jan with an admittedly very vague idea of what I might want, she was attentive and helpful. (Indeed, she tracked down an absolutely stunning stone that met my needs within a day!) Jan also displayed almost infinite patience with my inane questions and general neuroticism. I absolutely would not hesitate to do business with Jan and Brad again.

Diamond Brokers of Florida gave us excellent service! I purchased an engagement ring through Jan and she helped us immensely. There wasn't even a problem modifying our order after we placed it. The ring arrived as scheduled and was more beautiful than could have been imagined.
Thanks a million Diamond Brokers of Florida!

The ring is stunning, lots of fire and light --- the stone looks to be MUCH HIGHER clarity than VS2 -- more like a VVS2! The Platinum/WG also helps the wonderful cut make this stone absolutely white-looking! The cut is so fine that the arrow heads are quite clean and beautiful, and the light return is stupendous. The prongs are also VERY nicely finished; I appreciate your craftsmanship with a nasty metal like platinum. Thank you so much; Evelyn was completely and utterly thrilled.
