The House
Four generations. One discipline.
From the cutting floors of Surat to private clients across India and the Gulf — GV Diamond has spent fifty years in a single craft.
GV Diamond Pvt Ltd was founded in 1976 by Govind V., a third-generation diamond cutter who believed that India's best stones deserved an audience inside India.
Today, the house is run by his grandchildren — gemologists, designers, and craftsmen who have, between them, examined more than two million carats of rough.
We work exclusively with earth-mined natural diamonds. We do not stock lab-grown stones. We do not retail through department stores. We source, grade, set, and deliver — one client at a time.

"We do not buy diamonds from wholesalers. We cut them ourselves. That is the only promise we have ever made — and the only one we intend to keep."
Govind V. · Founder · 1976
Our Philosophy
Three principles. Fifty years.
01
Earth Only
Lab-grown diamonds are an engineering achievement. Natural diamonds are a geological one. We believe only one of them carries the irreplaceable weight of four billion years.
02
Four Generations
Since 1976, every stone we have cut has been handled by the same family. That continuity is not a marketing line — it is quality control built into the bloodline.
03
No Retail
We have never sold through department stores, jewellery fairs, or mall kiosks. Direct to client means the price you see is the price of the stone — not the showroom.
