White Pine’s Diamond Services

• It is estimated that over 4.5 billion carats (900,000 kgs) of diamond has been extracted from the ground since mining for the mineral first began. Because of diamond’s inherent hardness, much of this is capable of being recycled back into the jewelry sector, reducing the environmental and ethical issues associated with mining.
• White Pine is a well-established recycled diamond company, with offices in New York and Barcelona and Birmingham (UK), and buyers across the United States, UK and Europe. 
• We buy recycled, polished diamonds of all sizes and grades either loose or in second-hand diamond jewelry, from the very smallest melee to one carat and above.
• We remanufacture chipped, damaged and poorly cut diamonds, in order to homogenize appearance. We use a significant proportion of our diamonds in jewelry which we manufacture in the US and Asia.
• We distribute the diamonds we buy primarily in the US and Asia to a network of industry participants, including retailers, jewelry manufacturers, diamond manufacturers and some dealers.
• We have been operating since February 2010 and are backed by Perella Weinberg Partners, a leading independent, privately owned financial services firm.
• White Pine follows the Kimberley Process and the DTC Best Practices Principles. It is a proud member of the Jewelers Board of Trade, the Jewelers Vigilance Committee and the National Pawnbrokers Association in the US, and the British Jewellers’ Association and the National Pawnbrokers Association in the UK.
• We are fully accredited by the Better Business Bureau in the United States. All BBB accredited businesses have agreed to live up to BBB Standards for trust. Their Standards for trust are a comprehensive set of policies, procedures and best practices focused on how businesses should treat their dealings – fairly and honestly in all circumstances.
