Our Story

1980-1989

Sample diamond ring With decades of expertise in diamond retailing, Helzberg Diamonds emerged as the dominant diamond specialist of the 80's. In 1988, Barnett Jr. stepped up to Chairman of the Board, and the company's leadership was strengthened by the selection of Jeffrey W. Comment, a maverick retailer of national prominence, to serve as president. With Comment at the helm, Helzberg Diamonds launched the concept of the Helzberg value tag, to instantly communicate the exceptional values customers could expect to find at Helzberg Diamonds. This little pink Helzberg value tag became the cornerstone of our marketing strategy. Helzberg Diamonds' buyers stayed one step ahead of most competitors by increasing buying in international markets, offering the widest selections of truly unique jewelry at the most competitive prices. Entering the 90's with 101 stores in 22 states, Helzberg Diamonds continued its commitment to offer the best customer service in retailing.
