Eyal Cohen
Diamond Jeweler
Being a fifth-generation diamond jeweler, Eyal Cohen has spent his life in the diamond industry. The family business has been passed down from an uncle to a nephew in each generation. In fact, Cohen’s uncle was a top diamond dealer in Hong Kong.
Cohen received his gemologist degree from a private school in 1981 in Jerusalem, Israel, where he was born. He was pursuing a career in counter- terrorism degree when his uncle wanted him to join the family business in 1996. After Cohen earned his MBA in business, he entered the diamond industry. He then spent 25 years selling loose diamonds wholesale around the Southeastern United States.
Today, Cohen owns The DiamondLab in Boca Raton. He also runs an appointment-only showroom near The DiamondLab called Diamonds By Eyal. “Diamonds are something I’m passionate and excited about,” he says.
Buy a single loose diamond or choose from the collection of diamond engagement rings, wedding bands, studs, necklaces, bracelets and more. “You name it, we have it.” They often make custom jewelry to accommodate a client’s wishes.
Believe it or not, diamonds have personalities. Some are happy. Some are depressed. At The DiamondLab, all diamonds smile.
That’s accomplished by selling loose diamonds that are cut to ensure they receive maximum light exposure.
“The more light that travels in and out, the more brilliant and alive it will be. Our goal is that when the client gets out of bed, they will look at their ring and the diamond will smile at them,” says Cohen. “We make dreams come true.”
All jewelry is made with quality materials and craftsmanship and backed by a satisfaction guarantee. The business also buys customers’ gold and trades natural diamonds for lab-grown ones.
Lab-grown diamonds are created by a simple process. A seed from a natural diamond is placed into a machine and the diamond is grown to the desired size in 28 days.
“It looks, feels and is the same as a natural diamond except for the value. Since you save on labor and time, it’s cheaper than a natural diamond,” he shares. “The cost of creating a lab-grown diamond is significantly less than a natural diamond.”
The DiamondLab celebrated its one-year anniversary in November. Thanks to high demand, they’re looking to expand the space.
