The Beginning: A Leap of Faith and a Pear Shaped DiamondThe story begins in 1979 when a young man named Leibish Polnauer – a diamond polisher by trade – was traveling to London, while reading 'The Guardian.' Leibish sat on the train reading the paper, having just found out that the factory at which he worked had been shut down.
President and Founder of LEIBISH, Leibish Polnauer An advertisement from the royal crown jeweler Garrard‘s caught his attention. They were seeking a 6-carat pear-shaped diamond. Leibish decided to make the phone call and take his future into his hands. "For some reason they connected me to the general manager of the company," he says with a smile, "and I tried to sell to him." Leibish offered his services as a diamond dealer to them, although he did not actually have any stock of his own - and was invited in for a meeting! They explained that they needed about 80 pear-shaped diamonds in two weeks, and Leibish said that he would provide them.
Leibish Polnauer, still loving diamonds, more than 30-years later… The Search: London – New York – Tel Aviv With the guarantee that he would do so, Leibish traveled between Tel Aviv and New York City. About 120 thousand British pounds later (the equivalent of $1 Million), he returned to Garrard with the assortment of stones that was requested. The jeweler bought everything, and Leibish’s love for fancy shapes and fancy diamonds was born. Sharing the Love (of Colored Diamonds)More than three decades later, LEIBISH is the leading source for natural colored diamonds and jewelry. Many of the world's most prestigious jewelry designers and manufacturers call on LEIBISH for the diamonds that will complete their designs and ignite their creativity.
