BD DIAMONDS were born more than a decade ago, at the beginning of the diamond merchant Alon Ben-Dor, when he immigrated to the East and traded in diamonds at the Diamond and Jewelry Center in Bangkok. His fondness for the glittering raw material took a sharp turn when he was exposed to gold jewelry with diamonds and was fascinated by the diamond’s last stop: on a piece of jewelry. Alon gave his generosity and began producing diamond jewelry as a hobby, selling his jewelry directly as a producer to private customers. Eventually, the hobby became a major preoccupation: Alon managed to set up a manufacturing system and to design fine jewelry for individuals and companies from all over the world.
