Second-generation jeweler and Graduate Gemologist from the prestigious Gemological Institute of America, Ken Black launched the Philadelphia Diamond Company in 2002 after more than 12 years as a well-regarded and innovative jeweler with national retailers. Together with his wife, Nicole Black, M.B.A, they have created a unique, customized jewelry experience tailored to a client's style and individual needs in a relaxing environment.
Despite what you might think, our personalized, custom process almost always costs less than buying a piece of manufactured jewelry. It's the smartest way to buy jewelry. And, as you'll discover, the most enjoyable. This is why our customers come back to us again and again. Most of our competitors are commercial stores with commission based employees, focusing their attention on transactions and margin growth. We answer only to our clients- which enables us to focus all of our attention on our craft.

Look no further - this family owned business is incredible and I have no doubts that Ken can help craft the jewelry that you are after! Our paths crossed when trying to custom design my wedding band. Ken met with us multiple times, patiently listening to my vision, helping us get the drawing into a wax mold, then into metal, and later altering bits and pieces of the metal until the ring was exactly what I was looking for. Ken was incredibly patient throughout the whole process, offering valuable insights and working with us under a tight timeline. He delivers quality and is able to think outside the box to help you get what you want. I highly recommend Philadelphia Diamond Company!

I was fortunate to work with Kenyatta and Nicole Black of Philadelphia Diamond Co. for an 8th Grade project at school. They took their personal time to mentor me and teach me about the jewelry industry and the art of making fine jewelry. With their help, I was able to design a beautiful custom ring. With their guidance, I was confident to present my project and everyone was so impressed. I couldn't thank them enough for this amazing experience!

Ken at the Phila. Diamond Co. did an amazing job on my rings! I had a damaged diamond in my engagement ring and he replaced it with an absolutely stunning diamond and was able to keep my current band. He had the work done in record time. I couldn't be happier and I highly recommend Ken and Philadelphia diamond co!

My partner and I had such an amazing experience with Ken at Philadelphia Diamond Company. We went in to our appointment mostly knowing what we were looking for in an engagement ring, but he showed us a variety of styles and options that really opened up our minds. My partner was able to work off a pre-made design and customize the ring to her liking. PDC works with lab-grown diamonds which was important to us for cost and ethical reasons (but they also have natural stones available too).
After landing on a design we liked, the final ring was available in two days! It sounds like the pieces and stones we wanted were readily available, it could take longer for more complicated designs. We were blown away and took the ring home right after our second meeting. Service was fantastic, quality of the ring/diamond are amazing, and Ken was able to work within our budget. Highly recommended!

Ken took abstract ideas and turned them into works of art! His process is amazing to watch. My fiancee wasn't sure what she wanted and through Ken's questions, patience, and expertise, we arrived at a stunning emerald cut eternity band. I asked Ken to incorporate her grandfather's class ring and he created 2 tiny accents inside the band so that she's always connected to her grandfather.
It's perfect and she absolutely loves it. For mine, I showed him a picture of a ring I liked and he ran with it! It's a totally custom piece and I'm obsessed. Ken is a true professional. He has great communication. He stuck within our budget and completed them earlier than the deadline. We will use Ken again for our wedding bands and I would recommend him without question.

Looking for the perfect jeweler, look no further. Mr. Kenyatta Black, of the Philadelphia Diamond Co. is your guy. We went to Mr. Black in search of a wedding ring, instead we got the most pleasurable experience that ended with the perfect ring. First of all, his establishment was nicely furnished and tastefully decorated. The atmosphere was most pleasurable, with soft music, plentiful jewelry displays, beverage options, and very comfortable. Mr.
Black did not start with what he had to offer, but started our session with me and what my desires were. He took the time to get to know me by asking the right questions, and patiently listening to help me choose the perfect ring that was right for me. The right design, the perfect stone, along with Mr. Black's professional ability and attention to detail, produced something truly amazing.
The finished product definitely exceeded our expectations. Mr. Black never forgot our original conversation, and remained mindful to keep us within our budget. Mr. black guaranteed his product, along with advice for proper care. We came in for a ring, but left with so much more, along with a lifetime jeweler.

I didn't want to go into the city to shop for wedding rings, but PDC is a little off the beaten path of Jewelers' Row toward Old City. Ken was very accommodating. We knew we would still marry during COVID, so I contacted him months in advance to give him a heads up: I had looked online for a ring to my fiance's specifications, and he hadn't liked any of them. Ken assured me that as our date grew closer, he'd be happy to help.
Not only was he able to help my fiance find the ring he loved, he was also able to help me find a complementary setting for my engagement ring. Ken is very laid back and flexible, which is an important trait when assisting with lifetime jewelry purchases. We plan to visit Ken for upgrades in the future as we celebrate different milestones.

I bought an engagement ring last summer from Philadelphia Diamond Company and it was a great experience. Ken answers every question you can think of and ensures you're finding the perfect ring. It's a pressure free environment and it's one on one service which helps the whole experience. They really want what is best for you and it shows.

I was recommended to go to Kenyatta for my engagement ring, and I couldn't be happier. Ring shopping is a harrowing experience, but he walked me through the entire process and got me exactly the type of ring I was looking for at the right price. The customer service at Philadelphia Diamond Co. was top notch. Ken was extremely friendly, respectful, and accommodating. And my fiance loved the ring! We'll definitely be coming back for our wedding bands

My experience at the Atlanta Diamond Company was fantastic. I had been searching for months for a wedding band and was becoming frustrated at my inability to find what I was looking for. After talking with Kenyatta for about 15 minutes he was able to find exactly what I wanted in the price range that I wanted. I came in the store expecting to only peruse the selections and to keep shopping but came away pleasantly surprised at Kenyatta's solution. Kenyatta and Nicole were patient and supportive. Not only did I like my ring, but my wife did too : I would definitely recommend shopping at Atlanta Diamond Company. The store is in a great location and looks immaculate!
