Kalati company is a second generation family business passed on from father to son. The integrity practiced in their business is so strong that they put their family name and stamp on it.
As the principle owner, Rami Kalati travels around the United States buying estate diamonds and jewelry which he has an overseas market for. He is faulted by many for paying prices that are too high. He shakes it off as word of mouth advertising and good for referrals, which have been his primary source of success till now. Rami considers making the seller content, as one of his essential business policies. As a second generation jeweler, Rami has been born and raised in the industry. He started working in the business when he was only 18. The journeys he has been on have left him most of all with two things: a strong eye for pricing diamonds & estate jewelry; and the strong belief that only a good clean hand shake will take the business to the next generation. Rami hopes to pass on a name that will be synonymous with honesty, trust and fairness. He loves to say that he is “Able, willing and ready to beat any legitimate offer by 10%”.
Rami knows that in the diamond industry paying the highest prices is not enough. A customer selling a diamond needs to feel safe. To ensure this, he offers several alternatives to shipping valuables. He offers a phone consultation and price quote based on an existing GIA Certificate for the diamond. For those who do not have certification, he offers an opportunity to meet with an affiliated local buyer. Also for estates in excess of $35,000 he can make personal visits to a local secure bank vault location. And of course, those located in NY can call for an appointment.
Rami considers his specialty to be buying loose diamonds and engagement rings featuring old mine cuts, large off color diamonds, Marquise, Pear shapes and round diamonds over 2 carats. Also, he buys signed estate jewelry or platinum and French diamond jewelry.
Rami is a GIA Diamond Graduate & a member of the New York Diamond Dealers Club. The company is member to the Jewelers Board of Trade, Rapaport trading group, International Watch and Jewelry Guild, and the National Association of Jewelry Appraisers.
