Diamonds by Davalos

Third Generation · GIA Graduate Gemologist

Honoring a Family Tradition.

My name is Alvar Dávalos, a third-generation jeweler and Graduate Gemologist from the Gemological Institute of America. My grandfather started in this trade nearly 100 years ago in the 1930s and created our family's first workshop based in Mexico City in 1946. My father expanded the business into the famous 47th Diamond District in New York City and has helped clients around the world — from Dubai to South Africa. Now I look to continue their legacy.

I have been involved in the jewelry industry my entire life and have gained different levels of experience — from ethically sourcing the finest diamonds across the world, working with jewelry artisans and designers seeing their processes firsthand, to working in retail sales helping local couples get engaged and celebrate milestones.

The Approach

Quality and craftsmanship, above all else.

I know the ins and outs of the jewelry industry and want to provide you with all the knowledge I have gained and maximize your value. By cutting out many of the middlemen local retail jewelers use, we can craft something of the finest quality — unique, timeless, and valuable — without high markups.

Almost all our pieces are bespoke creations developed from the ground up and catered to fit your needs. Each diamond and gemstone is chosen by hand, whether natural or lab-grown. They are reviewed by a certified GIA Gemologist and are certified by the GIA or IGI. Designs are tailored to you and made to tell a story.

Our Mission

"Our mission is to build something for generations to appreciate and remember your story."
