your Guide
meet Hemant

Hemant has spent 27 years on 47th Street — starting as a diamond grader, moving into trading, and building direct relationships with the dealers and manufacturers who supply America's jewellery industry.

 

He knows which dealers carry the best inventory at each price point. He knows which certifications to trust and which to question. He has seen every trick, every upsell, and every pressure tactic the retail market uses — and he knows how to help you avoid all of them.

 

When you walk the district with Hemant, you are walking with someone the dealers know by name. That changes everything about what you can access, what you can see, and what you can pay.

HOW IT WORKS

01  Consultation — know before you buy

We start with a 30-minute education session: the 4Cs, realistic pricing benchmarks, which certifications to trust, and what questions to ask. You arrive informed, not intimidated. This session happens before we ever set foot on 47th Street.

02  Private tour — behind the counter

Walk the Diamond District with a 27-year insider. We make personal introductions to vetted dealers and manufacturers — the same people who supply the stores you've been browsing online. You see stones that never reach a retail display case, at prices that never appear on a price tag.

03  Stone inspection — expert eyes on every diamond

Every candidate stone is inspected under loupe before you consider it. Cut precision, clarity grade accuracy, colour grading, proportions, and fluorescence — all verified in real time. You will know exactly what you are holding before you make any decision.

04  Made to Order Jewelry

once the diamond is selected, we can work on the design of the piece of jewellery. we will offer you cad rendering , casting and make final piece for you

FAQ

What if I don't find the right stone on the day?

No pressure at all. Finding the right stone matters more than finding one quickly. We can schedule a follow-up session, continue searching on your behalf, or give you the tools and contacts to keep looking independently. Many clients find their stone on a second visit — and we're happy to keep going until it's right.

How much can I realistically save?

Typically 20–40% compared to retail on a comparable stone. On a $10,000 purchase, that is $2,000–$4,000 in real savings. On a $25,000 stone, savings of $5,000–$10,000 are not unusual. The session fee is the smallest line item in the transaction.

Is this just for engagement rings?

Not at all. Clients come for engagement diamonds, anniversary jewellery, investment-grade loose stones, custom pieces, and gifts. If it involves a diamond, we can help — whatever the occasion or budget.

What should I bring?

Just yourself and your questions. If you have existing GIA reports, retail quotes, or stones you've already been shown elsewhere, bring those too — Hemant will tell you exactly what they're worth. No preparation is needed beyond showing up curious.

Can I come as a couple?

Absolutely — most engagement and anniversary clients come as a couple, and the session is designed for two. The private format means the conversation moves at your pace, not the dealer's.

I've already done your group walking tour. Is the private session different?

Completely different experience. The group tour is an introduction to the district — its history, culture, and craft. The private sourcing session is where you go if you want to actually buy. You'll go into showrooms you didn't enter on the tour, see stones at wholesale pricing, and have Hemant negotiate directly for you. Many of our private clients are walking tour graduates.
