Henri Daussi founded the company 60 years ago in Antwerp, Belgium under the name Andiamond.  Since diamonds are the local trade in Antwerp, almost everyone in the family’s history worked or was involved with the diamond business.  Henri, being the master diamond craftsman, was the first to build a unique cutting wheel that cuts into a diamond.  With his new cutting technology, he cut the first perfect heart shape diamond.  The heart shape put Henri Daussi on the “Diamonds Business” map and from that point on, things skyrocketed.  Still today, the Antwerp office is used as a contractor to cut some of the world’s largest, rarest heart shape diamonds.

Today’s focus is on the Daussi Cushion engagement ring.  Offering both traditional cut cushions and Daussi Cushions, any size, elongated or square, in a variety of style, the company is always available to help with your search for the perfect diamond.

Jean-Francois Albert has a well deserved reputation as a master craftsman and classic designer. Although known for his clean and simple contemporary designs typically featuring incredible colored stones, he is equally talented in the design of wedding rings and bands. His contemporary styles of wedding rings are all available in platinum, 18 karat white gold or 18 karat yellow gold.

He has won numerous international awards for his designs, including the DeBeer’s Diamonds Today Award and the American Gem Trade Association’s Spectrum Design competition, and is a member of the respected American Jewelry Design Council.

Born in Lausanne, Switzerland, Jean-Francois began his apprenticeship in the art of jewelry-making at the age of 15. His first professional position came a few years later in Geneva, when he was hired by the legendary house of Piaget. This auspicious start is evident today in the pristine precision of Albert’s design. He moved to Montreal, Canada in the late 1960s to introduce his own line of fine jewelry. While working with a fine jewelry store in Newport Beach, California, he met his future wife, Babs. His company, JFA Designs was founded in 1979. Today Jean Francois and Babs direct and manage the successful and innovative JFA Designs together. In addition to their home in Newport Beach, the Alberts’ life in Southern California includes an island retreat on Catalina Island. Engagement and wedding Bands Destin Florida.

Samuel Jewels, Inc. was founded by Steve Samuel (second generation) and Camille Samuel (third generation) who combined have 100 years of jewelry experience and knowledge. Two men with a trade and a dream, immigrants from the Mardin region of Turkey, lived together in White Plains, NY and attempted to reach their goal in a country where they could not even speak the language. The company specializing in exceptional fine crafted wedding bands, represents four generations of expert hand-crafted artisanship. The tradition began with Samo Samuel in the ancient Byzantine region, recognized for many centuries as an area that cultivates exceptional hand-crafted metal work. Samo was a blacksmith who used his steady hand and keen eye to give his customers flawless art work in areas ranging from tea sets to serving platters made from gold and silver.

The next generation learned the trade from their father, Samo, and expanded and improved upon it, branching out into the field of jewelry. The sons, some of who are still working in jewelry until today are involved in every facet of the jewelry business. Once again, the new generation learned their trade from their fathers, but developed their skills to find their own niches in the jewelry business. The involvement of the Samuel family is as expansive today as it has been at any other time in history, with thirteen descendents of Samo still carrying on the family craft.

Oscar Heyman & Brothers has earned the distinction of being as classic and high-quality as any jewelry could be.

Since the family company was started in 1912, its foundation has been dedicated to creating some of the world’s most beautiful jewelry by superior craftsmen. At its inception almost 100 years ago, there were three brothers who came to New York from Latvia. Oscar Heyman & Brothers was established with origins traced to the Faberge workshops in Russia. The company has built its reputation for quality throughout the years and is committed to maintaining the family work ethic and traditions. The secret to this family dynasty, now in its third generation, is that centuries-old skills are still imparted from father to son so that the technical savoir-faire is never lost.

Colored precious stones from all over the world have continued to be a very important part of Oscar Heyman jewelry. Each piece of jewelry is a result of flawless design, excellent craftsmanship and impeccable matching and setting of stones in metals. Every step in the making of jewelry, from cutting and polishing of gemstones, the alloying of precious metals, making their own tools and dies, to the designing and manufacturing of each piece is done in-house. The jewels created by Oscar Heyman & Brothers are stamped with an Oscar Heyman mark with an individual serial number. Extensive records are kept for each serial number to include sketches, so that pieces can be identified and dated.
