Last year, the National Retail Federation reported that 77% of shoppers planned to purchase their holiday gifts at the last minute. By the last minute, they mean less than two weeks before the holiday. When these customers come through your door seeking a very special gift of custom jewelry for their favorite someone, you want to be able to tell them yes – but do you have the systems in place to make the holiday magic happen?

Grunberger Diamonds: Making Life Better for Bench Jewelers

Creating exquisite custom jewelry requires artistry, superior goldsmithing skills, and prowess setting diamonds and gemstones. This is particularly true for the very trendy pave pieces that feature a multitude of small stones, as well as for channel set diamonds, a popular feature on many engagement ring designs. When you’re working under time pressure, it becomes clear how vital precision cut melee diamonds are – every extra minute you spend at the bench tweaking the tiny setting to accept a stone that’s just a bit too large or a tiny touch too small is a minute that puts you closer to missing your deadline.

Grunberger Diamonds specializes in high precision Ideal Cut melee diamonds. We’re known for our precision – you always get exactly what you order. Our tolerances are the tightest in the industry, and we pride ourselves on our consistency. You get the same excellent product whether you’re buying a single diamond or hundreds of them.

Consistent high precision means setting our diamonds is a simple, seamless process. You don’t have to spend extra time at the bench fussing with the settings for dozens of stones. This means you can tell your customers who are seeking a sparkling diamond brooch, custom engagement ring, or other gift of fine jewelry that you can absolutely, positively get it done for them. We same-day ship all orders.

Discover the Power of Precision

As the holiday season draws to a close, it’s time to start thinking ahead to what 2020 will mean for your company. If you’re planning to shine a little brighter, and become a bigger, more profitable venture, one way to achieve that growth is by partnering with suppliers who make it easier and faster to do your best work.

Who wins in the competitive jewelry manufacturing industry? We’ve seen time and time again that it’s the manufacturer who provides the best possible product at the most reasonable cost. A determining factor in the cost of your product is labor. This is particularly true with pave designs, which feature a multitude of small diamonds. Our position, which is borne out of 80 years of experience serving the fine jewelry industry, is that precision cut melee diamonds allow for a more efficient manufacturing process which saves you money and boosts your profitability.

We suggest that you put us to the test. We’re proud to put our product up against any other ideal cut melee diamonds. Have your team create one of your designs using Grunberger Diamonds. Time how long your team takes and compare this to the time it takes them to create the same piece using someone else’s diamonds.

You’ll find that our high-precision process results in a consistent product that saves you time. When you look at how much time you save on a single piece, and then multiply that to reflect a production run, that total can be eye-opening. Consider that total in terms of your labor costs, and the power of precision becomes very clear. When you’re working with products that fit your settings quickly and reliably, manufacturing designs with melee diamonds becomes more profitable.

We know that demand for smaller diamonds is up. The De Beers Diamond Insights report tells us that the number of engagement rings sold with a main stone over one carat fell from 42% in 2013 to 33% in 2017. These ring buyers still want a lot of sparkle and flash – that’s where the melee diamond truly proves its worth to the jewelry manufacturer. Grunberger Ideal Cut Diamonds are available in 40 different qualities. They can be calibrated to within .00250 of a millimeter. And of course, they’re gorgeous.

The world’s most beautiful diamonds are those that are sourced in a way that respects the planet and the people who live on it. Over the years, we’ve taken extensive steps to ensure that the Ideal Cut melee diamonds we produce are beautiful in every way. We enjoy end to end control of our supply channel – sourcing the rough ourselves, operating our own production facilities, and selling directly to custom jewelers and jewelry manufacturers without involving any middlemen or third parties.

Now we’ve taken the next step and achieved RJC Certification. The Responsible Jewellery Council helps companies of all sizes, throughout the jewelry supply chain meet the rising ethical demands of peers, consumers, financial institutions, and civil society. Our certification means that we follow the RJC “Code of Practices”, a set of standards that pertain to human rights, environmental concerns, and other ethical concerns associated with fine jewelry production. It is through responsible sourcing and supply chain due diligence that the entire jewelry industry can improve, and we’re very proud to be part of this movement.

Demands for Ethical Diamonds are Changing the Jewelry Industry

Grunberger Diamonds is the world’s largest producer of Ideal Cut Melee Diamonds. This means the stones we deal in are very, very small. Given the size of our product, why do we care so much about how it’s produced?

First and foremost, we care because it’s the right thing to do. In this world, we are always faced with the opportunity to make choices. From our earliest beginnings in the 1930’s to the present day, we have always strived to run our business in the most ethical way. The reason we maintain end-to-end control of our diamonds is to eliminate risk to our customers, lower costs, and ensure a higher degree of quality control. We want our customers to be magnificently proud of the jewelry they create using our diamonds. That’s only possible when they know the diamonds are sourced responsibly.

RJC Certification also reinforces the value of real diamonds, which is increasingly important as lab-grown stones gain market share. To learn more about RJC certification, visit: https://www.responsiblejewellery.com/
