Who
We Are
Doron
Franco founded Crown Diamond in 1987 with a vision of integrating advanced
technology with business practices rooted in the traditional diamond
industry. Today Crown Diamond's large inventory, ranging from quarter
carats on up to larger diamonds over 10-carats, is part of an online
network that interfaces with more then 100 retail US jewelry store websites.
Our
Value Proposition
The
company prefers to be considered a "value-added partner" rather
than simply a diamond wholesaler by offering jewelry retailers a wide
range of sales support material. In addition to being able to link our
inventory to your website, seasonal hard copy price lists, sales training
tools and new customer kits, the relationship with Crown Diamond's client
partners is based on trust, service, and quality the company's
success reflects these core values. Crown Diamond has an inventory of
mainly GIA and EGL, as well as in-house certified goods sourced
from our buying offices in the diamond bourse in Ramat-Gan, Israel.

Dear
Jeweler,
Welcome
to our website. As website pioneers in the Diamond Wholesale Industry,
we always strive to give our customers a new edge, a top of the
line advantage in the ever expanding Information Super Highway.
In
todays competitive marketing environment, an ad in a local
newspaper, a flyer or even a radio commercial does not reach far
enough. To compete effectively you need to be a part of the Internet
and have your own website. By having your very own website, your
customers will be able to enter your store 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Youll be able to
promote and sell your merchandise even when your store is closed.
In
1986 when I started Crown Diamond with only a box half-full of
diamonds, I envisioned that one day Crown Diamond would grow into
a major leader in the Diamond Wholesale industry in the South.
I have achieved this goal by rapidly increasing our loose diamond
inventory to include thousands of single diamonds (most of them
featured on our website).
My
highly dedicated and professional staff always welcome your requests
with courteous service and a wide selection of diamonds. Weve
come a long way since September of 1986 but in many ways we feel
as though its only beginning. The internet has and will
continue to help Crown Diamond grow even more and we intend to
utilize its strengths fully.
Thanks
again for visiting our website and we look forward to visiting
yours one day!
Doron

Ofer
contributes
ten years of diamond expertise to Crown Diamond Co. His position
as our main diamond buyer has been strengthened by the opening of
Crown's full-time overseas buying office. With his fingers constantly
on the pulse of one of the world's largest diamond centers, he is
able to continuously replenish and strengthen our diamond inventory.
Ofers keen eye makes his opinion highly respected with our
customers. His ability to locate those hard to find
requests is uncanny!
With
Ofers vast diamond connections abroad, he is always able
to locate and purchase stones at the very best possible prices.
It is because of Ofers consistent and remarkable buying
power that Crown Diamond is able to pass along such great savings
to all of our customers. |

Daryl
is
Vice President at Crown Diamond. Among his various responsibilities
Daryl manages the inventory, works directly with the marketing director,
and handles strategic development of new accounts.
Daryl
comes to us from a highly unusual background. For 10 years Daryl
was a stand-up comedian performing all over the country and even
appeared on HBO and Showtime. Daryl has shared the stage with
the likes of Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno, just to name drop a
few! Weary of the road but not tired of making people laugh, Daryl
still occasionally hits the stage. His name may not be well known
but he has become famous in our office for his knowledge
of diamonds, his management skills and, of course, for adding
levity and wit to our office. |
