Humble beginnings
EMD’s CEO & president Moshe Eliav entered into the diamond industry in 1979, as a hardworking junior cutter and
polisher in a diamond workshop, within a team of 30. After just one year, the workshop owner realized
Moshe’s potential and promoted him to Workshop Manager.
EMD is born
In 1981, Moshe used the skillset he gained as a workshop manager in order to create his own diamond
manufacturing business. He took a small loan of $1000 to purchase his first rough stone and founded
EMD. The business has since grown from a one-man venture into a full-fledged, growing diamond
producing company.
Father and Sons
Nir and Roy joined the business in 2007 to help their proud father Moshe run EMD, and, within their first
year at the family business, were instrumental in the expansion of EMD's diamond collection, adding various fancy shapes and colors into the mix and further claiming their specialty in the diamond
industry. In addition, the two sons improved business management practices and customer
collaboration.
GIA and Scale
With an expanded inventory of 2,000+ GIA-certified diamonds in stock at any given time, EMD staked its
claim as a leading diamond manufacturer in 2010. Largely focusing on the North American market, EMD
offers diamonds ranging in carat weight from 0.70-8.00, in a variety of shapes, including oval, radiant,
pear, cushion, heart, emerald, princess, asscher, marquise and round.
