New York Metro · in-person & nationwide by video
The diamond you pictured — without the Fifth Avenue markup.
Diamond Concierge Inc. buys directly in the wholesale diamond market on your behalf. You get certified stones, an honest education, and one person answering the phone from first sketch to final appraisal.
Direct access, photographed
This is what direct access looks like
Certified loose stones, in hand, on a desk in the diamond district — before they are set, before they reach a retail case, before anyone adds a keystone markup. Both photographs below are our own, taken while choosing stones for client briefs.
Actual client-facing inventory
Four cushion cuts, chosen over their own paperwork
The grading report visible in the frame reads 3.01 carat, E color, VVS2 — that is the report shown in the image, not a claim about every stone on the hand. The rest of the parcel varies, and each report travels with its stone.
We publish no carat weight, grade or price for a piece we have not put in front of you with its certificate. Everything here is price on request, deliberately.
Loose, before setting
Ovals, side by side, at the moment of choosing
Clients see stones this way — loose, graduated, next to a set band for scale — rather than one mounted ring under a showroom spotlight. It is the only honest way to compare cut quality with your own eyes.
Shop by category
Seven ways clients begin
Every piece below is sourced to order from the same wholesale desks that supply the showrooms — engagement rings, everyday diamonds, and anything for any occasion.
Why a concierge
Three conversations, not thirty browser tabs
A concierge is not a shop. We sit on your side of the table — sourcing against your brief, showing you the trade-offs in plain language, and negotiating the stone at wholesale.
The discovery call
Fifteen minutes, video or phone, anywhere in the country. We talk budget honestly, decode the 4Cs for your specific brief, and agree on the shape and setting direction. No pressure, no showroom.
Curated stone options
Within 48 hours you receive a short list — three to five independently certified diamonds pulled from our wholesale network, each with the certificate, video, and exactly what you are paying for and why.
Set, certified, delivered
Your piece is finished by New York bench jewelers, independently appraised, and delivered insured — hand-delivered across the NY metro area, or fully insured nationwide.
Current inventory
Pieces in hand right now
Photographed here, in our own hands, not licensed from a supplier catalog. Specifications and pricing on these come from the paperwork in front of us — so they are quoted to you directly rather than published.
The evening it is actually for
Every ring on this site leaves in a box, on a night that matters
This is the oval solitaire from current inventory, photographed the morning it went out to a client. We are not in the business of staging: the roses were his.
New — Bridal Sets
The band should be cut for the ring
A wedding band chosen months later gets notched, bent, or worn with a gap. A band cut for the ring it sits against does none of those things — it closes flush and the pair turns as one.
Our first matched bridal set is now in hand: a round brilliant in a pavé halo, and a contoured open-halo band shaped so the two halos interlock rather than collide. Photographed together, apart, stacked and worn, so you can see the fit rather than take our word for it.
If you already have a ring, this is the service worth asking about. We cut contoured bands to an existing ring regularly, and you see a wax against your own ring before anything is cast.
In motion
What it looks like on the street, not in a lightbox
Five seconds of an oval solitaire on a moving hand, on a New York sidewalk, in whatever light the afternoon was giving. No showroom, no turntable, no lighting rig.
This is the footage we would want to see before buying. An oval is long enough to catch light along its length as the hand moves, and a walking hand in daylight is a far harder test than a rotating stand under tuned spotlights. The ring is untouched and is not scaled against the finger — what you see is the size it is.
In motion, again
A photograph cannot show light return
Brilliance is a moving property. It is the one thing a still image is structurally incapable of showing, and the one thing you are actually paying for when you buy a well-cut diamond.
So we film. This is a tennis bracelet from current inventory, rotating on the wrist in ordinary daylight — eleven seconds, no audio, no speed change, no lighting rig. Watch the same stones pass through the same light twice and you can judge the cut yourself.
Direct wholesale access
We buy where the retailers buy
Our accounts sit with cutters, dealers and wholesale desks in the New York diamond district and abroad. That means you see the same certified stones a luxury retailer would show you — before the keystone markup, the marble floor and the branded box are added to the price.
The second vertical
We also specialize in laboratory-grown diamonds
Direct wholesale access on both sides of the market, which means no reason to steer you. Ask for a shape, a size and a budget and you will get a natural shortlist and a laboratory-grown shortlist in the same email — each stone with its report, its growth method and the trade-offs written down, including what resale really looks like.
Client words
Quietly, by referral
“I had three quotes from Midtown showrooms. The same GIA report number came back nearly eleven thousand dollars cheaper. I still do not entirely believe it, and she has the receipts.”
“We did the entire thing from Chicago on video calls. Sketches on Tuesday, stone options on Thursday, the finished ring in my hand ten days later. Genuinely white-glove.”
“She talked me out of a bigger stone and into a better cut, then reset my grandmother’s diamonds into the band. That is not a salesperson. That is an advisor.”
