I have a local B&M that is set up in an office building. They appear to be on the up and up as they have been in business for over five years now. The owner is Israeli and his family is in the cutting business in Tel Aviv. He used to be a wholesaler and sell to the higher end stores in the area and region for years and has set up shop for himself. His prices are very competitive and equal or exceed what I am finding even on here. I don''t know too much about the diamond industry but is this possible? They claim to "skip" Antwerp and get them directly from family members in Tel Aviv about four times a year when he goes and visits. The stones are really beautiful and the prices are very good. Is this possible or is there a sham in there somewhere?
