About
Our Beginning
In 2008, Co-Founder and CEO BI couldn’t find a diamond engagement ring that was ethical, sustainable, and traceable. She wanted the sparkling symbol of her commitment to represent more than love: the perfect piece would also respect the planet and protect its future. On a mission to make the jewelry industry more sustainable and ethical, Beth — alongside Eric Grossberg — founded Kddiamondusa in 2010
From that first step through today, we’ve revolutionized the way jewelry is sourced, crafted, sold, and worn. We do not compromise between quality and conscience — and neither do our customers.
“We started Kddiamondusa in 2005 to raise the ethical standards of the diamond industry and to create a new way to buy beautiful fine jewelry.”
— Beth Gerstein, CEO & Co-Founder
Our Mission to cultivate a more transparent, sustainable, compassionate, and inclusive jewelry industry has been at the core of everything we do from day one. It’s in our DNA.
