Welcome!

Thank you for your recent interest in our diamonds. Basically, we are banking on the idea that you and your business will be satisfied with the very best in value, quality and service. We are wholesale specialists and continually set higher standards for ourselves. We have 3 different catalogs available for purchase: Diamond Rough, Polished Diamonds, and Closeout Catalog of Precious and Semi-Precious Stones and Items. Besides being extremely informative as far as what we have for sale, each catalog has within it a great deal of information that is very trade specific. Many of our long time customers have told us that they were very pleased that we were so forthcoming with so called "trade secrets". The truth is that if you prosper we will prosper. A description of each is listed below. We also encourage you to look at our photo galleries, as they will present you with an idea of the types and qualities of our diamonds.

  G-d Bless and Sincerely,

Diamond ROUGH Catalog (complete) $25.00 (overseas add $7.00)

Mailing address: Kenneth Glasser  /  P.O. Box 28048  /  Las Vegas, NV 89126-2048 USA

This unique catalog contains valuable trade information on Cuttables, Industrials and Specimens. We have developed an excellent and precise method of diamond rough grading covering every aspect of a stone or parcel group. The catalogs contain in-depth data in the critical areas of crystal shape (i.e. octahedron, macle, cube, etc.), weight, color, surface appearance, price, and commentary about any specific, outstanding, or unusual features. On cuttable rough we often state what we feel the stone's potential is when cut if the stone or parcel is not an "A-B-C" obvious outcome. Industrials generally speak for themselves. Specimens can always be used in several ways such as display, jewelry use as-is, and experimentation. They can can always be used industrially.

Hundreds of stones are being offered for sale as well as a wide variety of parcel groups. Also included is a sample diamond rough Certification Report that we can produce for any specific stone. The rough stones being offered for sale range from smaller than .01ct. to well over 100.00 carats each. The catalog includes cuttable rough, industrials and specimen rough for immediate purchase. Some types of processed rough are available such as milled, drilled, sawn tops, spot windows, etc. Many stones and parcels are displayed in color on the web site.

We offer Rough trade services: sawing, laser sawing, laser drilling, hole drilling (laser or abrasive), hole interior polishing, cleaving, windowing, deep pressure acid boiling, sorting of all types for cutting or industry, cutting from rough into any type of finished stone (round, fancy or exotic), recutting of diamonds into new cuts, girdle polishing, certification, etc. and general information that may assist you.

We also offer a specialized Diamond Rough Buying Service for specific types or quantity gathering of any type. The Rough catalog w/ prices may be used as an approximate indicator of present market wholesale conditions for the grades, types and quantities of diamond rough that we are offering for sale.

Diamond Rough Speculation Purchase

Some types of goods have increased in value by 500% over the last 7 years. A few examples in lower priced industrial goods are small cubes (under 0.50ct.), coated congo rounds in all sizes have gone up at least 600% over the last 10 years and availability is difficult. Bort over 1.00 ct. have increased in value at least by 300%, and over 10.00 ct. by more than 600%, and availability is difficult . Lower quality macles in all sizes are very difficult to find with price increases from 250% to 700% depending on the quality.

Examples of real price increases in cuttable are all white cleanest and better macles over 1.00ct. - price increases of 300% to 500% and delivery is extremely difficult even if you are willing to over pay. Clean yellow and brown stones over 10.00ct each are up 250% to 1000%. Octos and Dodec crystals from 0.40ct to 2.00ct in clean material up 250% to 300%.

I believe there is opportunity now on a very limited basis on certain types of rough for companies or people who purchase on spec and hold.

In addition to the Catalog and Photo Gallery, we also offer a specialized Diamond Rough Course. If you are interested and would like to know more about this rare educational opportunity, please click below.

Diamond CUT & POLISHED Catalog (complete) $15.00 (overseas add $7.00)

Mailing address: Kenneth Glasser  /  P.O. Box 28048  /  Las Vegas, NV 89126-2048 USA

The Polished Diamond Catalog lists hundreds of individual stones in all shapes (e.g. round, standard, fancy, and exotics), sizes, clarities (from flawless to promotional), colors (from D to intense fancy- yellow, pink, green, orange, etc.), and their respective prices (from less than $100.00 per ct. to over $100,000.00 per ct.). These are available for immediate purchase. The catalog gives all the standard details along with special information when applicable about each stone in an organized fashion (item #, weight, shape, color, clarity, cut proportion, faceted girdled 'yes or no', comments, and price).

Certified diamonds bearing the GIA, AGS, IGI, HRD and EGL reports are one of our greatest strengths. We can offer you very fine wholesale discounted prices, especially on sizes over 1.50cts in the internally flawless to SI-1 clarity range and D through J color range (please phone us on these). Quite a few certified smaller diamonds are listed with a wide range of choice. A great variety of small sizes and melee groups are offered with an extremely broad spectrum from the finest collection quality to all clarities in commercial whites through promotional imperfects as well as fancy colors and shapes.ough promotional imperfects as well as fancy colors and shapes. 

With the Polished Diamond Catalog there is also a general wholesale price list on high quality goods in the most popular size ranges.

We also cut and produce finished Polished Diamond Beads drilled through (ready to string) as well as freeform art shape polished diamonds. Diamond Rough Beads drilled through are included within the polished catalog because quite a number of jewelry producers are using them "as-is" in finished pieces. From time to time, certain stones or group types are closed out. There is a special catalog section for this, but it is still best to call.

The first section of the catalog explains all grading data, sales terms, shipping, etc. as well as the trade services that we offer; repairs, recutting, girdle polishing, laboratory certification and general information that may assist you.  Please note this is a wholesale catalog and we use trade terms (all explained in the introduction section). Our low wholesale prices do reflect present world market conditions as we see them for the grade and type of loose diamonds represented within the catalog and may be used as a market indicator or index in general.

On certain types of diamonds we are market makers within the world trade.

In polished goods we can produce or find anything! Really anything. This may sound like a broad statement, but by virtue of having a strong rough stock we have a great deal of flexibility and can produce for most orders. If there is a request for something rare that we don't have on hand, we will find it for you very quickly.

Portfolio collections of polished goods - Some people like to collect and some enjoy speculating on certain types of goods over a long term. Most collections are GIA or AGS certified stones in better clarity grades with better white colors. Some people who are building important collections are purchasing fancy color diamonds. Collections range in total value from $50,000 to well over $10,000,000. Portfolio collections of polished goods are custom made according to your taste and personal or company need.
