The story of Rahaminov Diamonds’ meteoric rise from a small postwar cooperative to the source of the hottest diamond jewelry trends and red carpet styles is, above all else, a story about family. Jewelry and jewelry-making have a unique quality that brings people together, and the Rahaminov brothers were no exception to this magnetic pull. Drawn like a sailor to a siren call, these brothers banded together to work as expert diamond cutters at Buchara Diamonds—one of Israel’s first diamond cooperatives. Through their absolutely stellar work at Buchara Diamonds, the Rahaminov brothers began to gain notoriety for their outstanding work ethic, meticulous diamond cutting skills, and their use of the highest quality raw materials around. The jewelry love spread to other members of the family, and even more Rahaminov brothers joined the trade, sharpening their skills, contributing their breathless enthusiasm, and bringing with them the family’s creative vision and penchant for novel designs. This was what Rahaminov Diamonds has christened the “first generation” of the brand.
The brand expanded in the ‘60s, eventually spreading to Italy—the home of some of the oldest and most revered institutions in fine arts, goldsmithing, and jewelry production. Flourishing alongside revered jewelers like Buccellati, Damiani, Bvlgari, and more, Rahaminov’s Italian years entrenched the designer in the rich and storied history of Italian goldsmithing, which has been a consistent source of the peninsula’s pride since the time of the Ancient Etruscans. What Rahaminov terms the “second generation” of family jewelers emerged in Italy in the 1980s. Tamara Rahaminov, the daughter of Moshe—an original Rahaminov brother—grew up enmeshed in the diamond culture that captured the passions of so many family members before her. When she reached adulthood, she embraced that passion and began studying at the Gemological Institute of America, where she met her husband Amir Goldfiner. Together, they ushered in a new era for Rahaminov Diamonds by opening a Los Angeles location. Thanks to Amir’s unparalleled business sense and Tamara’s extraordinary eye for design, Rahaminov’s star rose like never before. It was under their direction, and under the direction of their daughters, who have been deemed the “next generation” of diamantiers, that Rahaminov has risen to become the designer of choice for trendsetters, collectors, celebrities, and models alike.
Each piece of jewelry rolled out by the jeweler appears like a monument to the Rahaminov family’s illustrious history, their deep-seated passion for all things diamond, and their one-of-a-kind design perspective, which holds that it is the diamond that inspires the design, and not the other way around. The result? Timeless, opulent, and utterly flawless pieces brimming with soul and passion, each of which glitters like nothing you’ve ever seen. Ready to join the family?
Rahaminov diamond bracelets
Rahaminov Diamonds is a brand committed to celebrating diamonds, celebrating family, and celebrating creativity. In practice, that looks like taking a classic design intended to show off the best features of a diamond and transforming it with a little technical innovation and a lot of vivid imagination. Case in point: the Rahaminov Pear Shape Buttercup Bracelet, which tackles the essential tennis bracelet design and reimagined it with a little more whimsy. With a glossy 18k yellow gold setting that harkens back to Rahaminov’s days in the hotbed of fine Italian goldsmithing, this diamond tennis bracelet features 6.30 ctw pear-shaped bezel-set diamonds along its length rather than the more traditional round-cut prong-set diamonds. A member of Rahaminov’s signature Buttercup collection, this yellow gold bracelet’s east-west diamond arrangement gives it a feel of modernity and keeps the 6.30 cts of diamonds from looking as clunky as they might look in a north-south setting. The choice of modern pear-shaped diamonds additionally introduces interesting geometry to the bracelet, playing with the idea of femininity in jewelry design by including both smooth edges and sharp lines. All things considered, this is one situation where we wouldn’t mind things going pear-shaped!
Rahaminov diamond earrings
Right now, asymmetry is the new black. Whether it’s a long dangly earring on one side paired with an ear cuff on the other, or a pair of studs that each feature a different motif, an asymmetrical set of earrings is a fantastic way to infuse your look with a sense of play. In true Rahaminov fashion, the diamond jeweler has reimagined this trend and added their own interpretation of asymmetry to the mix in the Rahaminov Mix Match Halo Bar Earrings, elevating the pet style of online trendsetters by including spectacular fine jewelry touches like mixed-metal design, diamond halos, and spectacular fancy yellow diamond accents. On one side, two round-cut white diamonds drip down, each encircled by a dazzling diamond halo; from post to the bottom of the second white diamond, the earrings glisten in silvery 18k white gold. As the 18k white gold setting reaches down, it kisses the point of a dazzling yellow diamond halo, set this time in matching 18k yellow gold. At the center of this buttery halo is a single, glorious pear-shaped fancy yellow diamond—the star of the show. The opposite earring features an inverse of this design, as two round-cut fancy yellow diamonds set in 18k yellow gold flow into a sparkling pear-shaped white diamond, which shines like a single, beautiful raindrop. Sunshine in the form of yellow gold and yellow diamond meets rain in the form of white gold and diamond in these fancy diamond dangle earrings, making them perfect for bringing a little sunshine to a cloudy day. No umbrella needed.
