Adrian lee – Owner – Diamond grader and jewellery designer I cannot think of a better profession than being a diamond merchant. In life, I believe that your work must be as enjoyable as your play. I love working with diamonds and with my clients to help them express their devotion to their partner through the design and creation of their own unique diamond engagement ring. My captivation for diamonds and jewelry started in high school as an extension of my passion for art and sculpture. The beauty and color of precious gems set within the artistic lines of designer jewelry captured my imagination and lead me on my path towards a career in the jewelry industry. After following interests in business and science to university, I held onto my passion for the jewelry industry and developed a strategy to reconnect with my love for designer jewelry by starting an online business being one of the first jewelers to direct import GIA certified diamond and designing them into exclusive custom made jewelry. With a drive to operate my own business and with the knowledge of how powerful the internet was becoming for business I saw a great opening in how the modern jewelry store was going to develop and wanted to be at the forefront of this change. Hence I developed Diamond Brokers Queensland as an online diamond merchant facility, which has since progressed to include a retail style jewelry showroom in Cleveland.
