David BreckmanDiamonds · By introduction
Nº 2Services

Each mandateis its own.

I advise on the acquisition, sale and stewardship of significant diamonds. Every engagement begins with a conversation, not a menu.

  1. 01

    Sourcing

    Finding a particular stone, or the right one for a purpose, through private channels as well as public ones.

  2. 02

    Acquisition

    Representing you in a purchase: examination, negotiation, documentation and a clean, discreet close.

  3. 03

    Sale and consignment

    Placing a stone with the right buyer, privately or at auction, at the right moment, and without unnecessary exposure.

  4. 04

    Valuation advice

    An independent view of what a stone is and what it is worth, for decisions, insurance or family planning.

  5. 05

    Estate and collection advice

    Helping families and executors understand what they hold, and what to do with it, calmly and over time.

  6. 06

    Trade brokerage

    Introductions and negotiation between dealers, cutters and houses, where both sides value a trusted intermediary.

Terms

Agreed at the outset.Never hidden.

Fees are set out in writing before any work begins, and depend on the nature of the mandate. I do not take undisclosed margins, and I do not publish prices.
