About the Tour and Hemant
When you join our New York Tour of Diamonds, you’re not just stepping into the famous Diamond District — you’re stepping into Hemant’s world.
With over 25 years of hands-on experience in the diamond industry, I’ve worked in many crucial roles — from a diamond assorter to a broker, as a grader in a reputed laboratory, and later assisting top diamond merchants as a buyer. Throughout this journey, I’ve had the privilege of inspecting hundreds of diamonds every single day — of all shapes, sizes, and qualities.
What still fascinates me is the intricate process of uncovering a diamond’s true identity:
💎 Inspecting inclusions and clarity up close
💎 Evaluating color under the correct lighting
💎 Understanding what the report doesn’t always reveal
💎 Seeing how a rough stone transforms into brilliance
Through this tour, I aim to share the knowledge and insights I’ve gathered over decades — so visitors like you can feel confident and informed when buying your own precious stone.
🗽 Did you know?
More than 80% of diamonds that enter the United States pass through this very block in the New York Diamond District. This tour lets you explore where it all happens — from visiting the polishers and jewelry makers to learning the history and culture that built this iconic marketplace.
If seeing and evaluating diamonds live excites you — and you want to understand the behind-the-scenes craftsmanship that brings jewelry to life — I’d love to host you and make this a memorable, eye-opening experience.
Join me on the New York Tour of Diamonds, and discover what makes a diamond truly special.
I look forward to meeting you! ✨
Hemant
