"The Andrew Z Diamonds Story" Our story begins in 1949 when Andrew’s father, affectionately known as "Papa" opened his first fine jewelry and watch store in New York. His single store quickly grew into 4, expanding into New Jersey. After over 50 years of running the business, many of those years spent training his son Andrew, "Papa" handed over the keys into the skillful and trustworthy hands of his son that he spent time developing.  Andrew spent 26 years in the New Jersey location before making the move to sunny Arizona. Upon first arriving Andrew opened up an appointment only office, but within a year they grew into their present storefront that Andrew and his family have been operating since 2005.
