With decades of experience, we choose each diamond by eye—evaluating cut, clarity, and brilliance to ensure it meets the highest standards.
OUR METALS have been chosen for their ability to withstand the rigors of frequent wear, their strength and durability when set with stones, and their overall value. We only offer precious metals - 14k and 18k gold as well as .950 platinum.

Our Story
Memphis Diamond Company is locally owned by the Mednikow family, who began their diamond business over 100 years ago in 1891.
Their first store was situated on Second Street, across from the Peabody Hotel, close to the banks of the Mississippi River. Currently their brick and mortar store can be found in an authentic mid-century building in East Memphis.
Through the decades, Mednikow has earned a reputable position in the global jewelry industry, and become a household name in the Midsouth.
As they look to the future, Mednikow is excited to expand their family of brands with the addition of Memphis Diamond Company. The brand offers a fresh take on the engagement ring tradition, allowing customers to create their own dream ring online, in real time.
Even as technology advances and offers engaging new ways to purchase jewelry, the Mednikow family remains committed to their original ethos — beauty, quality, integrity, and imagination.
