SELECTED DIAMOND TRADERS – YOUR SOURCE FOR LARGE TOP QUALITY DIAMONDS

 

Selected Diamond Traders is a leading family owned and operated diamond distributor and trading company. The Israel-based company handles high-end diamonds ranging from 1000 stones per carat to 15.00 carats. Selected Diamond has a regularly renewed, very high stock level of diamonds that were cut in China and Russia using state-of-the-art tools, thus making it one of very few companies able to immediately provide perfectly-cut precisely calibrated diamonds in significant quantities.

 

 

Abraham Pinkusewitz founded Pinkusewitz Diamonds in the 1970s. After managing various aspects of the company, Abraham’s son Moshe established Selected Diamond Traders in 2005. Moshe developed a similar system to his father’s and now caters to those who inquire about larger top quality stones. Moshe granted the Israel Diamond Institute an exclusive interview to share some insight into the company.

What sort of diamonds do you stock?

Our stock is composed mainly of rounds and princesses ranging from 0.30 carat to 15.00 carat diamonds of D to K color, and IF-SI2 clarity. All our diamonds are cut and polished according to very strict guidelines, and our goods are checked thoroughly by in-house gemologists to ensure customer satisfaction. We carry an extensive stock of diamonds certified mainly by the GIA. In addition to rounds and princesses, we also supply fancy shapes including Cushions, Emeralds, Marquises, Pears, Radiants, Asscher Cuts, Hearts and Trillions.

Our top-quality parcels and melees are cut and polished in China and Russia, guaranteeing the finest make. Our parcels of small diamonds are in the range of 0.001-0.299 carat (0.6 to 4.3mm). These diamonds are available in D to I colors and clean to SI1 clarity. The latest diamond grading technology and microscopes enable us to create a new level of accuracy and consistency.

Because our aim is to create long-lasting business relationships, our diamonds are priced fairly and competitively to guarantee maximum satisfaction for all parties.
