Clients of every taste and budget including those for whom only the rarest of diamonds will do turn to Diamonds International for the wide array of diamonds at stellar values.

Celebrated jewelry retailer Diamonds International has at its core a history of determination and drive wrapped around the vision of a family patriarch who believed success was attainable--despite the odds. When David Gad immigrated to the United States, he brought with him big dreams for a better life-- but little else except his belief and a strong work ethic. He found work in New York City's bustling diamond trade and eventually grew a successful diamond business.

Even after suffering from ill health he remained steadfast in his belief that great rewards were within reach. So he empowered his children with the same vision that they too would succeed. Gad poured seed money, shared his connections and expertise, and most of all passed on his contagious vision of believing that anything was possible.Gad's family then wholesaled diamonds to retailers throughout the Caribbean until 1988 when they opened their first retail store in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands with a partner.

When hurricanes devastated much of the Caribbean in the mid 1990s the inspired words of patriarch David Gad to "Believe" propelled them to rebuild again.That inspiration has reaped huge rewards over the years.

Today Diamonds International has expanded to over 125 locations, making them the largest diamond, tanzanite, and luxury jewelry and timepiece purveyor in the Caribbean, Alaska and Mexico. Their retail brand includes Diamonds International, Tanzanite International, and Diamonds International Watch & Design.They've become the first and only stop for the worl's top cruise line passengers and tourists at these destinations. In doing so, they've earned the trust of shoppers because their knowledgeable and friendly staff treat them like family too.

The worlds' premier diamond brands are located in one showroom so selecting that important diamond is a delight not a dilemma. Hearts on Fire, the 88, and Gift are there to evaluate as well as Diamonds International's own 90 facet Crown of Light diamond.

Experiencing the Crown of Light personally is truly an unforgettable experience, and one that can only transpire at a Diamonds International retailer.Extraordinary customer care and unparalleled quality define the Diamonds International brand.

Because they are both a diamond and tanzanite sightholder with a factory in Namibia this allows for total control over the cutting and polishing process and the price.

Their lifetime upgrade policy on all diamond jewelry purchases is another signature trait. Each diamond is certified with a quality report from a leading gem laboratory. Finally, their United States based customer service department adds that extra layer of assurance to each purchase.

Today the Gad family continues to pay tribute to their father's belief in perseverance and ethical business practice at each Diamonds International showroom.
