K & D Diamonds, founded by David Dresdner in the heart of New York City’s Diamond District, is a trusted name in natural diamonds with a heritage spanning three generations. Specializing in primarily GIA-certified stones, the company has served the diamond industry for over thirty years. “We were trained virtually from birth,” says David.
K & D’s approach is centered on partnering with jewelers to help them provide exceptional service. “Imagine a jeweler who doesn’t have the exact diamond a customer is looking for in stock. Instead of losing that sale, they can partner with K & D Diamonds. We offer a fantastic service where we carefully select diamonds based on the customer’s specific needs—considering cut, shape, carat weight, and quality. We then ship a curated selection of these diamonds, free of charge and on consignment, directly to the jeweler.”
This level of service extends beyond loose stones. “We also excel at creating custom layouts for diamond jewelry, like necklaces, bracelets, and rings,” adds David. “Whether it’s a unique arrangement of various shapes and sizes or a complete, finished piece, we can bring those visions to life with precision and quality.”
K & D emphasizes “old school” craftsmanship, with expert artisans creating exquisite, high-quality pieces designed to last a lifetime. “Essentially, K & D Diamonds provides jewelers with access to a vast inventory of loose, high-end diamonds and the expertise to create matched layouts, all while prioritizing exceptional service, no upfront costs through our consignment model, and a commitment to complete customer satisfaction. We stand behind our diamonds and craftsmanship, ensuring that every piece is perfect,” says David.
For David, the greatest fulfillment comes from the personal connections and meaningful moments that arise from the work. “The joy of knowing that K & D Diamonds plays a small role in the significant life events of customers. It’s more than just a transaction; it’s about contributing to cherished memories,” he shares.
Trust is at the heart of K & D’s operations. The company proudly holds memberships with the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), the Continental Buying Group (CBG), and the American Gem Society (AGS)—an affiliation that David sees as a vital endorsement of their values.
“AGS membership acts as a formal validation,” says David, reinforcing their long-standing reputation for excellent service, integrity, and business ethics. He adds, “The AGS logo signals to consumers that K & D adheres to high ethical standards and possesses significant gemological knowledge.”
The AGS also connects K & D with a broader network of professionals who share a commitment to responsible practices and lifelong learning. “The AGS provides opportunities for continuous education, ensuring that K & D Diamonds stays up-to-date with the latest gemological knowledge and industry standards.”
David continues, “AGS membership is more than just a credential—it’s a powerful endorsement that strengthens our brand, builds stronger customer relationships, and reinforces our position as a highly respected diamond supplier in a competitive market.”
