ABOUT US

Premier Gem was established in 1956 and quickly built a reputation for its ability to manufacture beautifully-made diamonds.   Very early on in our history, we began specializing in larger diamonds and this continues today.  Our diamonds and diamond jewelry don the Red Carpets and are sought-after for their outstanding beauty and craftsmanship. 

Premier Gem has been a De Beers Company Sightholder for over fifty years.  A Sightholder is the name given by the De Beers company to its direct clients (manufacturers). Sightholders purchase an allotment of rough diamonds ten times a year at "Sights" held at the De Beers headquarters in Botswana.  After receiving these rough diamonds, Premier takes these rough diamonds through all phases of the manufacturing process.  These diamonds then make their way down what is known in the industry as the "diamond pipeline" to retailers and finally to you. 

Diamond manufacturing is both a science and art.  When we receive rough diamonds, each rough diamond is carefully analyzed to decide how to bring out its inborn beauty.  We do this using a combination of technology, knowledge and intuition.  This work of creating beautiful diamonds has been our labor of love for over half-a-century.  We think the quality of our diamonds and painstaking craftsmanship reflects this passion.
