Diamond District, Diamond trade district on West 47th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenue, Manhattan, United States.
The Diamond District contains thousands of independent jewelers, wholesalers, and retailers operating from multi-story buildings with secure showrooms and workshops.
The district relocated from Maiden Lane near Wall Street to 47th Street during the 1920s when rising rents forced diamond merchants to seek new locations.
Many establishments represent multi-generational family businesses started by Jewish immigrants who brought their diamond expertise from European trading centers.
The Gemological Institute of America provides professional certification services and educational resources about diamond grading within the district.
Over ninety percent of diamonds entering the United States flow through this single block of Manhattan, making it the largest diamond trading hub nationally.
