Guru Diam
Updated Nov 04, 2026 15 min read

Guru Diam is a trade-only wholesale diamond and jewellery supplier for jewellers in Australia and New Zealand, shipping from New York. We hold 10,000+ IGI and GIA certified diamonds, natural and lab-grown, plus calibrated melee, matched pairs, fancy colours, antique cuts and 3,000+ finished jewellery pieces ready to ship. Custom jewellery starts with a 3D CAD in 24 hours, with no minimum order. In-stock orders confirmed before 6 PM New York time ship the same day, and international delivery typically takes 3–4 business days.

This page is for jewellery retailers, designers, manufacturers and bench jewellers in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Auckland and across Australia and New Zealand. We supply businesses only. If you are shopping for your own ring, please visit a local jeweller: many of them buy from us.

Read on for what we stock, how the time difference works in your favour, how to open a trade account, and the questions Australian and New Zealand jewellers ask before their first order. To skip ahead, apply for a trade account and your account manager will be in touch the same business day.

Why Australian and New Zealand Jewellers Buy From New York

Australia has a strong local jewellery trade, but local wholesalers cannot hold every shape, size and grade a client might ask for. When a client wants a 3 carat elongated cushion, a matched pair of pears or a run of 1.5 mm melee for a pavé band, the usual answer is "we will have to order it in", followed by a wait.

Guru Diam is based at 36 West 47th Street in New York's Diamond District, and we keep a large certified inventory on hand rather than sourcing each request from scratch. For an Australian or New Zealand jeweller, that adds up to:

  • More of what clients ask for, in stock. 10,000+ certified diamonds and 3,000+ finished pieces.
  • One account for the whole job. The centre diamond, side diamonds, melee and the setting itself.
  • Fast international delivery. Same-day dispatch on in-stock items and delivery typically in 3–4 business days.
  • A bench on call. Custom manufacturing with a 24-hour CAD and no minimum order.

How the Time Difference Works for You

New York and the east coast of Australia are roughly half a day apart, and that gap can work in your favour. Our same-day cut-off is 6 PM Eastern, which falls on the following morning in Australia and New Zealand: roughly 8–10 AM in Sydney and Melbourne depending on the time of year, early morning in Perth, and late morning in Auckland.

In practice, that means an order you confirm with us first thing in the morning in Sydney can still leave New York that same Eastern evening. Equally, a question you send us at the end of your day is often answered while you sleep, so a CAD render or a set of diamond options is waiting in your inbox when you open the store the next morning.

CitySame-day cut-off (6 PM Eastern) in local time
Sydney, Melbourne, CanberraNext morning, roughly 8–10 AM depending on the season
BrisbaneNext morning, roughly 8–9 AM
AdelaideNext morning, roughly 7:30–9:30 AM
PerthNext morning, roughly 6–7 AM

Lab-Grown Diamonds Wholesale for Australian Jewellers

Jeweller's loupe and tweezers grading lab-grown diamonds wholesale for Australia

Lab-grown diamonds have become a mainstream request at Australian bridal counters, especially for larger centre diamonds. We stock lab-grown diamonds in all popular shapes and sizes, IGI graded, with GCAL certification also available on lab-grown. Our lab-grown production is mostly CVD, with some HPHT, and every certified diamond is listed with its grading report.

Common requests from Australian and New Zealand jewellers include:

  • Round, oval, pear, emerald and radiant centres from 1 to 5 carats
  • Elongated cushions and ovals in specific length-to-width ratios
  • Larger certified lab-grown centres for statement rings
  • Diamonds sourced or cut to a client's exact specification when they are not in stock

See the range on our lab-grown diamonds page, and read our guide on sourcing GIA and IGI certified lab-grown diamonds wholesale.

Natural diamonds

We also supply natural diamonds for clients who ask for them: browse certified natural diamonds and natural melee. Natural matched pairs are made to order.

Wholesale Melee Diamonds, Calibrated for Pavé and Tennis Work

Fancy yellow pear diamond ring with baguette shoulders in 14K yellow gold, wholesale jewellery for Australia

Every setter knows the cost of a badly calibrated parcel: hours spent sorting, diamonds that sit high or low, and a finished band that does not look even. Our melee is calibrated to ±0.05–0.10 mm, and our lab-grown melee is CVD Type IIa. You order by millimetre size, so a design that calls for 1.3 mm and 1.5 mm gets exactly those sizes.

Calibrated melee is the foundation of pavé bands, halos, cluster rings, eternity bands and tennis bracelets. See sizes on our wholesale melee page, or read our guide to calibrated melee for pavé, tennis and eternity work.

Matched Pairs, Fancy Colours and Antique Cuts

Matched pairs. Our pairs are matched to ±0.1–0.2 mm and within about one colour grade, for stud earrings and three-stone side diamonds that look balanced once set. Lab-grown pairs are available in all shapes; natural pairs are made to order.

Fancy colours. We carry fancy colour diamonds in seven colours: black, blue, brown, green, pink, red and yellow.

Antique and old cuts. For vintage-style pieces, we carry so many antique cuts, including Old Mine and Old European cut diamonds. See the antique and fancy colour wholesale page, or read about antique-cut lab-grown diamonds wholesale.

Finished Wholesale Jewellery, Ready to Ship

For stores that want finished stock rather than loose diamonds, we keep 3,000+ jewellery pieces ready to ship. Diamond quality in our jewellery is D–F colour and VVS–VS clarity, with IGI certification.

LineRange
Tennis bracelets2–32 ct total weight; 7-inch standard always in stock; other lengths made to order

Custom Jewellery Manufacturing for Australian Jewellers

Jeweller's bench tools for custom jewellery manufacturing for Australian and New Zealand jewellers

Plenty of Australian stores sell custom work without employing a full workshop. Our custom jewellery service is designed for exactly that: we are the bench, and you keep the client and the margin.

  1. Brief us. Send a sketch, a photo or a description: piece type, metal, centre diamond, size.
  2. Approve the CAD. A 3D CAD render arrives within 24 hours, often overnight thanks to the time difference. Nothing is cast until you approve it.
  3. Production. We cast, set and finish in-house in New York and India, using diamonds from our own inventory.
  4. Delivery. The piece is finished 4–6 working days after CAD approval (complex pieces 2–3 weeks), then shipped internationally, typically arriving in 3–4 business days.

There is no minimum order and you pay per piece. Rush service guarantees delivery in 4 days for an extra charge. Private label production, engraving, satin, matte and hammered finishes, and after-sales resizing and repairs are all available. Read our wholesale custom jewellery manufacturer guide or what custom jewellery costs wholesale.

Wholesale Diamonds Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth

Sydney

Sydney jewellers working the bridal market need a steady supply of certified centres in the shapes that are trending, often in sizes local stock does not cover. With our cut-off landing on Sydney's next morning, a Sydney store can confirm a diamond at the start of the day and have it dispatched from New York that Eastern evening.

Melbourne

Melbourne has a large community of independent designers and manufacturing jewellers. Many use outside manufacturing for overflow work or for pieces that need a CAD fast. Our 24-hour CAD and no-minimum custom service suits short design runs and one-off commissions.

Brisbane and the Gold Coast

Queensland stores often carry finished stock, especially tennis bracelets and studs. Our 7-inch tennis bracelet is always in stock and studs up to 10 ct total weight are in stock, so you can restock best-sellers without large minimums.

Perth and Adelaide

For jewellers further west, the cut-off falls very early in the morning, which means an order confirmed the previous afternoon is usually already on its way. Calibrated melee and matched pairs are popular orders for Perth and Adelaide benches.

New Zealand

We supply jewellers in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and across New Zealand on the same terms as Australia: same-day dispatch on in-stock items, international delivery typically in 3–4 business days, no minimum order and a 14-day free return on stock items.

How to Send a Request That Gets a Fast Answer

Request typeWhat to include

Opening a Trade Account From Australia or New Zealand

  1. Apply. Complete the trade partner application.
  2. Verification. We confirm your business is in the jewellery trade. Applications submitted before 4 PM Eastern are approved the same business day; later ones the next business day. Because of the time difference, an application sent in the morning in Australia usually arrives during the New York working day.
  3. Your account manager. Each account has a dedicated account manager for sourcing, quotes and order updates.
  4. Order. Use the website, WhatsApp, phone, our live order portal for custom work, or our API and CSV feed.

Payment and Returns

We accept wire transfer, ACH, cheque and debit card. Established accounts can apply for credit terms, and memo terms are available for approved accounts. We do not accept credit cards.

Stock items come with a 14-day free return, and international orders are included. For custom pieces, confirm the terms with your account manager before you approve the CAD.

Diamond Quality and Certification

Every certified diamond we sell comes with its grading report from IGI or GIA, and GCAL certification is offered for lab-grown diamonds. Reports are listed with each diamond, so your staff and your clients can check colour, clarity, cut and measurements before an order is confirmed. In our finished jewellery, diamonds are D–F colour and VVS–VS clarity, with IGI certification, and studs of 2 ct total weight and up come IGI certified.

Integrating Our Inventory Into Your Store

Australian online jewellers and multi-store retailers can connect our inventory to their own systems through our API and CSV feed, so certified diamonds and jewellery can be shown on your website without manual uploads. Your account manager can set this up once your account is open.

A Typical Order From a Melbourne Jeweller

Here is how a common commission runs end to end for a store in Melbourne or Sydney.

On a Thursday afternoon, a couple asks for a 2.5 carat elongated oval solitaire with a hidden halo in platinum, plus a matching wedding band. Before closing, the jeweller shortlists three IGI-certified ovals on our website and sends a WhatsApp message to our diamond desk with the shortlist and a phone sketch of the ring.

Overnight, while Melbourne sleeps, the New York team confirms the ratios and measurements of each oval, picks calibrated melee for the halo and the band, and drafts the 3D CAD. On Friday morning the jeweller opens the store to the diamond options, the melee spec and the CAD render with its platinum weight already in the inbox.

The couple approves the CAD over the weekend. The ring and band are finished 4–6 working days later and shipped from New York, typically arriving in 3–4 business days. The store has handled one supplier and one account manager for the centre diamond, the melee and the finished pieces, and the client has a custom ring in roughly two weeks.

Building a Lab-Grown Bridal Range Without Overstocking

Many Australian and New Zealand stores want a lab-grown bridal offer but do not want to tie up cash in a large inventory of centre diamonds. Because there is no minimum order, a common approach is to stock a small set of mountings and semi-mounts in the store's best-selling styles and order the centre diamond per client.

  • Display. Keep a few solitaire, three-stone and halo mountings in 14K, 18K and platinum to show clients the styles.
  • Sell from inventory. Show clients certified diamonds from our live inventory on a screen in the store, with their grading reports.
  • Order per client. Confirm the diamond, and either set it locally or have us set it and ship the finished ring.
  • Restock best-sellers. Reorder tennis bracelets and studs as they sell, rather than buying deep stock up front.

This keeps the display fresh, keeps cash free, and still gives clients the depth of choice that 10,000+ certified diamonds offers.
