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.

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

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.
