Ritani is a 14-year-old firm manufacturing and selling polished diamond jewelry in the United States.
With a flagship store in New York, Ritani also has brick and mortar operations in Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Jacksonville, San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and dozens of other U.S. cities and forty countries around the world.
Formerly owned by the Julius Klein Group, the firm prides itself on having a hybrid model and a foot – or rather a hand adorned with precious metals and gems – in two different spheres, providing both internet sales, as well as custom-made jewelry.
In 2013, Ritani received a $15 million cash injection from investment firm Cantor Ventures, who plan to partner Ritani with other retailers who will act as its local affiliates and take the company public, aspiring to make the company one of America’s biggest distributors of diamonds. To this end, former Blue Nile vice president Brian Watkins was brought on board.
