I found exactly what I wanted
I first went online to view what was being auctioned. I saw two items I liked, bid online for them and was the high bidder. I was ecstatic.

Disappointing Experience
I was glamoured by misleading descriptions. Unquestionably these rings are worth far less than their estimates and I would strongly caution buyers to be wary of any items listed by this seller that purport to be natural gemstones. The auction house originally advised that they covered shipping on jewelry, but a couple weeks after I paid my invoice, they sent a separate bill to my email and then ignored my request for a tracking number. Ultimately, online auctions have risks but based on my experience with this seller I'm just relieved I didn't win the items I bid higher on.

Lewis & Maese Antiques & AuctionJan 27, 2025
Thank you for your review. Unfortunately we cannot reach out to you without knowing who you are to discuss. Our descriptions are as stated and we do stand behind them. We have never advertised that we cover the cost of shipping for jewelry. We do "handle" in-house shipping of jewelry but we do not cover the cost. We pack and send in standard shipping boxes as stated in our terms and conditions. We highly recommend emailing any auction house including ours for a condition report and any questions you may have at least 1 business day prior to the auction. Thank you again and have a great day!

Lab Grown Diamond Earrings are actually moissanite
The auction had a description of these earrings as follows: 14k Gold 4.00 ct Round Brilliant Lab Diamond Studs. I made the purchase and when I got the studs gone and took them to my jeweler I was very disappointed to find out that these were not in fact lab grown diamonds but rather much cheaper moissanite, which can be purchased for a fraction of the price i paid. I've reached out twice and have heard nothing. Don't waste your time or money with this auction house.

Happy New Year Joshua and thank you for your review. Apologies we have been closed for the holidays since the auction but rest assured we are catching up with emails and phone calls today and we will be contacting you shortly. In regards to your purchase, the earrings are as described in the catalog. A lab-grown diamond can sometimes test as moissanite on a standard diamond tester because of the presence of boron impurities within the diamond, particularly when grown using the high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) method; this boron can affect the diamond's thermal conductivity, causing it to register similar to moissanite on a basic tester, which relies on heat conductivity to differentiate between stones. When boron is incorporated into the growing diamond crystal during the HPHT process, it can alter the electrical conductivity, making it read more like moissanite on some testers. The earrings you purchased are backed by a PGL certificate as well which you can also confirm with them. We thank you again and look forward to discussing with you very soon.

Truly the title says it all. We have purchased multiple items form this auction, they have been well described, accurate and excellent phots. The items themselves were of the quality expected and the service on site is exceptional. I highly recommend this auction house.

Nice auction house
People at the place assisted me in loading the very heavy item without hesitation. The 3rd party payment system the LiveAuctioneers uses is something else. Took several tries and days to get my item paid for due to a down system. Was very frustrating

Lewis & Maese Antiques & AuctionOct 21, 2024
Hi Jerry! Thank you for your review. Good to hear we were able to load your purchase without issue. Sorry about the LA payment processor. I am sure they are doing their best to work that out and hopefully it never happens again for you. We look forward to seeing you at pickup again soon! Have a great day ~

Beware of the outside shipper/packer run by Abe highly recommended by the co.. not in house
Communication is tough with this auction house, their inside packing and shipping is very expensive do they referred us to sn outside packer named Abe who is very charming and friendly and follows up really well, but the packing and the choice of materials would have been done better by a three year old. Stay away from this shipper if you want your item, mine arrived in good shape by a sheer miracle.

Lewis & Maese Antiques & AuctionAug 05, 2024
Thank you for taking the time to review your purchase experience, David. We will reach out to Abe to request the images of their packing job as they should have them. Although we do not get complaints about Abe's jobs, we will take appropriate steps to remove Abe from our list if we find their packing techniques are inadequate upon further review. Thank you again for your time. Have a wonderful day!

Re-sale of my property without my authorization
I have won hundreds of auctions on LiveAuctioneers and this is the first negative review I've been compelled to leave. Lewis & Maese sold my bought and paid for property to another party without contacting me first. This sale took place within days of the auction close and after I had communicated that I was still waiting for two shipping quotes to come in but the one that I did have was prohibitive. Based on this issue, assuming the remaining quotes were not any less, I inquired as to what my options would be, asking if them re-selling it for me was an option or if abandonment was my only option. Inquiring what my options were led to them selling my property without my consent. In the interim, I did receive a reasonable quote for shipping and when I contacted the auction house I was advised of the resale. I have received a refund of my purchase price from them but am still waiting for a refund from the shipper.

No response to any email, hidden fees charged
Would not do business with these jokers again. I email them before the auction to clarify-but good luck getting a response, I emailed them 4 + times about that and other matters and never heard back once. (yes, I checked my spam folder) After winning my lot the LiveAuctioners page said I would be emailed an invoice directly from L & M, that never happened as well. Be aware pickup must happen in 10 days or you will be charged daily fees, I've never seen such a short window, apparently another way to nickel & dime winners. Poor pictures and inaccurate description of my item as well as many others in the same auction too. I am following up with Texas authorities about a refund of the undisclosed payment fee.

Lewis & Maese Antiques & AuctionJun 21, 2024
Hello Charles, as we explained to you and as it is stated on your invoice, this is a charge LiveAuctioneers for bidding/paying on their website. We have nothing to do with it which is why it. It is on their terms when you registered to bid using their website. I will ask our rep at LiveAuctioneers to reach out to you. We thank you for your business and hope you can resolve the misunderstanding with them.
