GIA & AGS

The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and The American Gem Society (AGS) provide universal quality standards in jewelry and diamonds. Northeastern employs GIA and AGS certified gemologists to purchase, grade, and match precious gemstones in order to manufacture each individual piece sold in our stores. Many of the diamonds that Northeastern Fine Jewelry sells are accompanied by official independent certifications provided by GIA and AGS, these certifications are universally accepted to be accurate assessments of the Four C's associated with a diamond's value.

CBG

The most important aspect of selling fine Jewelry is buying fine jewelry. When Northeastern Fine Jewelry joined the Continental Buying Group (CBG), we gained access to exceptional purchasing power, as CBG is a network of jewelry stores with over one billion dollars in annual purchasing power. Northeastern's affiliation with this group provides us with exceptional volume buying power, which results in a lower final cost to the consumer.

Preferred Jewelers

Andie Weinman and Joe Murphy have each been in the jewelry business for over 30 years; both have manufacturing and retail experience. They are the proud owners of one of the most prestigious organizations in the jewelry industry, Continental Buying Group. They believe that the independent, privately-owned jewelry retailer is the backbone of the jewelry industry. However, they recognized that there was a tremendous void for independent jewelers to compete with Internet jewelers and national chains. Because of this void they started Preferred Jewelers International™ in 2009. The organization currently has over 150 retail locations and continues to grow. Their vision is that Preferred will be the largest association in the world and member jewelers will be able to guarantee assurance to customers that their love stories begin with....
