 Keith Shaftel, President and CEO Senior Diamond and Jewelry Buyer
Mr. Shaftel’s diamond and jewelry buying experience spans over thirty years. Shaftel has always been a firm believer in the importance of the secondary diamond market and treating clients with respect whether buying or selling, he actually instituted an exclusive 75% buy-back policy for diamonds purchased from the Shaftel Diamond Company at any time! You can read the details of that policy on the Shaftel Diamond website. As an extension of this philosophy, Mr. Shaftel initiated BondedBuyers.com which now occupies a jewelry and diamond showroom on the ground floor of Houston’s premier jewelry trade wholesale building along with its parent company, Shaftel Diamond Co. which has consistently enjoyed a top credit rating from The Jewelers Board of Trade. Mr. Shaftel is also a member in good standing of the prestigious Diamond Dealers Club of New York (DDC,) an organization dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical standards in diamond trading as well as the American Gem Trade Association (AGTA), a similar organization for the colored stone industry. |
