A Note for Clearwater Customers
Clearwater customers come in for three reasons, mostly: engagement rings at better prices than the big chains downtown, certified diamond buying with a credentialed gemologist on the spot, and Rolex repair. Any of those, the drive up U.S. 19 is an easy one.
Why Clearwater Customers Come to Us
The Clearwater mall jewelers charge retail. We price wholesale because the family buys and sells direct, and most of the work is done by our own bench jewelers.

Family Jeweler Since Day One
Florida Diamond Center has been run by the Valdes family since it opened. Three generations in the jewelry trade, with more than thirty years of combined experience behind the counter and at the bench. Steve Valdes III is here today, same as his father and grandfather before him.
A GIA Graduate Gemologist grades every stone. In-house jewelers handle most of the repair work. The family works both sides of the trade, buying and selling, which keeps our pricing at wholesale rather than retail. That is how we have always done it.
