Jewelers can buy a diamond from anyone. When it's for their own milestone, they choose the one source they trust completely.
This one chose us.
"I'm honored that my stone came from someone I like and trust."
When it's personal, jewelers call Union Gems. When it's for your clients, you can too.

Lab-grown diamond prices have dropped dramatically, and there’s a silent trap many stores aren’t seeing.
Even with higher markups, retailers are generating fewer gross profit dollars per sale, while payroll, rent, insurance, and other expenses keep rising.
At AGS Conclave, we discussed a 9-step plan to help the stores we work with grow diamond profitability.
If you’re navigating this shift, DM us.
Behind the Buy | Day 3 💎
A few diamonds stopped us in our tracks today. After looking through thousands of stones, these are the moments that keep buying trips fun.
A few highlights from the search. 👀
Which one would you put in your case?

I’m exhausted today.
I'm sorting through 9,000 diamonds, and there are no shortcuts to finding beautiful stones.
Even with GIA reports, we manually review every diamond — cut quality, inclusion location and characteristics, color, and all the little details that don’t always show up on paper.
This is what it takes to curate the inventory you rely on.

Behind the Buy | Day 1 💎
Let’s get ourselves sorted.
This is where a buying trip begins: boxes of diamonds, thousands of possibilities — and a lot of sorting ahead.
Over the next few days, we’ll show you what it really takes to find diamonds that meet the Union Gems standard.
Spoiler: most won’t make the cut.

AGS Conclave just wrapped — and once again, it was one of my favorite weeks in the industry.
Ben Nemtin challenged us to think bigger, be brave, and turn intention into action. Will Guidara’s journey with Eleven Madison Park had me thinking about how much opportunity we have to elevate every client interaction.
I was honored to share my perspective on the **“New Diamond Horizon”** and discuss practical strategies to improve profitability from diamond sales.
But what I value most about Conclave is the people. The formal sessions are great, and the hallway conversations, shared experiences, and honest discussions about everyday business challenges make the week special.
Thank you to the Gem Society team, and to everyone who made it feel a little like a family reunion.
Decisions. Decisions. Decisions. How should we want mount this emerald cut?
As soon as I saw it, I had to have it .... 7.02ct K-VS1 Emerald Cut — 1.45:1, XX excellent, 65.7% depth
