the diamond business. (Back to Top)
We manufacture and import loose
diamonds from Antwerp and Israel, from 0.40cts to 5.00cts, in both Rounds and all fancy shapes: Marquises, Pear Shapes, Ovals, Emerald
Cuts, Asschers, Princesses, Radiants, Cushions, Heart Shapes, and Trilliants (in
pairs).
Ownership of Listed Diamonds
All diamonds listed on our
Search Engine, are
our diamonds, not like other on-line sites who do
not own any inventory and simply download "other people's diamonds," including
ours, to their websites. (Back to Top)
Qualities of Our Diamonds
Our qualities range from
D to K Color, and from Flawless to I1
Clarity. We specialize in
fine
to excellent makes. Our diamonds are
"finished" properly.
Our diamonds do not have "naturals" or other blemishes. All of
our diamonds, even the lower graded ones, have polished and faceted girdles,
adding brilliance to the diamonds.

Certification
100% of our loose diamonds
have Certificates issued by the
Gemological Institute
of America ("GIA"). Because we feel that other laboratories,
such as the
European Gemological Laboratory ("EGL"), are too lenient
in the application of grading standards, we feel that it is in our customer's
best interest that we offer exclusively GIA certified diamonds. In our
opinion, EGL certificated diamonds tend to be of a lower quality than the GIA graded
diamonds. In fact, if you ever see two diamonds of the same size and grade,
one with an EGL certificate and one with a GIA certificate, the EGL certificated
diamond will always cost less. That is because it is not as good a diamond! With A. Fishman & Son's
diamonds, you can confidently anticipate that you will get what you expect and
not be embarrassed or disappointed.

Fracture-Filled ("Clarity
Enhanced") Diamonds
There is a sense in the
consumer market place that a "clarity enhanced" diamond is a better
diamond than one which is not enhanced. The word "enhanced" has been used
to describe fractured diamonds whose cracks have been filled with a
foreign substance. The fact is that the GIA will not grade or certify
fracture filled diamonds. These diamonds tend to be originally clarity
grades in the I3 and "rejection" range. The process is not permanent and
there is a danger that the diamond will shatter or break. See
Clarity
Enhancement of Diamonds for
more information. (Back
