What is your background?
I moved from Israel to Los Angeles in 1981 to open a restaurant. The perfect weather and the Hollywood scene were the main reasons I settled here. I worked as a restaurateur in DTLA for a couple of years providing services to jewelers and diamond dealers when my love and interest in diamonds brought me into the jewelry industry.
In 1984, I sold my restaurant and partnered with a friend and began dealing in diamonds. After working with my partner for four years, in 1988 I decided to go solo and start my own company,
Lex Diamond Co.
in the 550 Building.
How did you get into our industry?
Observing my customers line of business peaked my curiosity and after much thought, I entered the diamond business
What is your specialty?
My specialty is loose diamonds in the 1.00ct - 3.00ct range, in all shapes.
