What's up with WhatsApp
How are you identified on our WhatsApp groups?
  • By a slogan?
  • By a telephone number?
  • By a First Name?
  • By the Last Name?
Statistics suggest that proper identification leads to more business. People prefer dealing with an individual that is identified by a First and Last Name.

Update From the Construction Committee
The construction committee has been waiting in the wings for a deal to be struck between the Executives and the Building Management on the office expansion and it looks as if it’s just a matter of days.

We are all anxious to get the project underway. For those that are unfamiliar with the project, the trading floor will be expanded by approx. 40% thus allowing us to incorporate additional residents in this “state of the art” location. 
  
We are now taking reservations for those individuals that would like to make the Diamond Club their home. If you are interested in reserving a spot or getting additional information, please contact Radhika ASAP as space is limited.

What is your background? Education, Work, Experience, etc...
After completing high school in India, at the young age of 17- 18 years old, I entered into the trade of Diamond Cutting. In 1969 I started my own Diamond Cutting factory in Mumbai. 
In 1995, my son and daughter-in-law sponsored my wife and I to the USA, Los Angeles. On arriving, I opened a branch office. called JP Diamonds. Exclusively dealing in Natural Diamonds. 

With the growth of the Lab-Grown Diamond Market, I converted my diamond cutting factory in India to manufacturing Lab-Grown Diamonds. 
In 2018, I changed my focus, and am happy to say that I now only deal in the Lab-Grown Diamond market. My new company is named Lab Grown Diamond Manufacturing Inc.

What is your favorite gemstone and why?
I like Round and Princess Cut Diamonds. Their
Highlight From the Luncheon
Our much-anticipated luncheon was held on Thursday, October 28, 2021, on the Patio of the 550 building. The setting was beautiful and we all enjoyed an unusually warm Fall day.
Representatives from our local LAPD headquarters were invited to join us and were given the opportunity to answer questions from Vatche and Sean about the ongoing security issues we are currently experiencing.
