A&C Gem Trading Corp. Relocates, Opens Wholesale Showroom

The gemstone company is moving to the Ross Metal Exchange in New York City’s Diamond District.

A and C Gem Trading Corp.
A&C Gem Trading Corp.’s new showroom is for designers, as well as jewelers, manufacturers, and students. It will stock colored gemstones in a wide variety of colors, sizes, shapes, and price points.
New York—A&C Gem Trading Corp. has relocated within New York City’s Diamond District and opened a wholesale design showroom for designers, jewelers, manufacturers, and students, the company announced late last week.

The gemstone wholesaler, which moved in June, is now at Ross Metal Exchange at 54 W. 47th St.

A&C Gem Trading Corp. chose to partner with Ross Metals to ensure that all the materials for designs are under one roof and easily accessible to its clients, the company said.

While A&C is a supplier of colored gemstones, Ross Metals sells materials in gold, silver, and platinum, as well as gold-filled findings, wires, plates, chains, and more.

“We are excited to embark on this new chapter in our journey,” A&C Gem Trading Corp. owner Heather Sandor said.

“The relocation to the Ross Metal Exchange represents a strategic move that aligns with our commitment to excellence and innovation. With the addition of our design showroom, we look forward to fostering creativity and forging lasting partnerships with jewelry designers from around the world.”

Along with the move, the company has opened a wholesale design showroom stocked with colored stone materials in a wide variety of colors, sizes, shapes, and prices.

The showroom’s design was inspired by the layout of interior design showrooms, allowing clients to come in, sit down, and pull gems from A&C’s selection.

A private dedicated design workspace complete with tools and gemstones is located inside the showroom for clients to work on their projects, mood boards, and collections.

The pairing of A&C Gem Trading Corp. and Ross Metals marks the first completely wholesale exchange in the Diamond District dedicated to jewelers, manufacturers, designers, and students, A&C said.

The showroom is located at street level within the Ross Metal Exchange.
