How I May Help You...
Cutting Diamonds in America
I specialize in restoring, refashioning and reselling antique, vintage, and modern diamonds - maximizing the inherent value of all styles.
If you wish to beautify your own heirloom diamond - or sell it, trade it or make a unique new purchase - you deserve a master cutter's expertise. Please contact me.
All cutting is done in my workshop.
The American Rose Brilliant
My signature cut is the American Rose Brilliant. It combines two traditional styles - the artistry of a classic rose cut crown, and the precision of a highly reflective modern pavilion - outperforming standard rounds.

Rough diamonds are not readily available to artisan cutters. For this reason, "estate" diamonds are my basic raw material. These Old Mine and European Cut diamonds entered the American marketplace in the pre-WWII era.
Sourced, designed, and cut exclusively in the USA.
Meet the American Diamond Cutter
My name is Maarten de Witte, aka The Diamond Wizard.
I have 45 years experience as a master diamond cutter in the United States. Formerly the Director of the American School of Diamond Cutting, I'm also a craftsman, innovator and teacher of diamond design, branding, and sales.
I view the world of diamonds through a work-hardened lens. My scope spans from the solitary workbench to the global industry, with primary focus on promoting excellence in the American diamond trade.
