Educating diamond buyers since 1985

Diamond Cutters International (DCI) has been involved in educating diamond buyers since 1985. In 1991 owner Fred Cuellar, also known as The Diamond Guy®, penned the best seller, “How to Buy a Diamond” and became the diamond expert for a variety of publications and organizations including Men’s Health Magazine, America Online, The Weddingpages, and MSNBC.
