From 1963 to the Cutting Edge: Katz Jewelry Leads New York’s Lab-Grown Diamond Boom

Founded by David and Rose Katz as a small custom jewelry shop for friends, Katz Jewelry quickly grew into a respected name in New York's Diamond District thanks to its personalized service, expert gemstone work, and unique designs. Today, partners Peter Kahan, Susie Kahan, and Julius Katz carry on that legacy while embracing the tools and materials shaping jewelry's future.

New York, NY - In an industry often resistant to change, one New York City jeweler is proving that tradition and innovation can shine side by side. Katz Jewelry Company, a family business founded in 1963, is now at the forefront of the lab-grown diamond revolution — a rapidly growing movement transforming the way the world buys diamonds.

With the global lab-grown diamond market projected to hit $55 billion by 2030, consumers are increasingly seeking ethically sourced, environmentally friendly alternatives to mined stones. Katz Jewelry is meeting that demand head-on, offering lab-grown diamonds that are chemically and visually identical to their mined counterparts, but without the environmental cost or ethical concerns.

“People love our lab-grown diamonds because they deliver the same beauty and sparkle, but at a fraction of the price and with none of the guilt,” says Peter Kahan, Katz Jewelry co-owner and GIA-certified gemologist. “For us, it’s the perfect marriage of our decades of craftsmanship and today’s values.”

Old-World Craft, New-Era Values

Engagement Rings & Jewelry Reinvention on the Rise

While lab-grown diamonds are surging, Katz Jewelry is also seeing a boom in engagement ring sales and heirloom repurposing. Customers are bringing in vintage or inherited pieces to be reimagined into modern designs — keeping sentimental value intact while giving the jewelry a second life.

One recent client described the experience: “They took my grandmother’s ring and transformed it into something I could wear every day — it feels like I’m carrying her with me, but it’s completely my style.”

Still Sparkling in the Heart of NYC

Operating from 37 W 47th St #25 in the Diamond District, Katz Jewelry continues to offer custom jewelry design, antique restoration, and honest, accessible service. Whether creating an entirely new engagement ring or breathing life into a decades-old treasure, the team blends artistry with cutting-edge ethical practices.
