In 1981, Jimmy and Helain Pesis founded Continental Diamond with a clear vision in mind – to establish an inviting and respectful environment for everyone. Their commitment to creating raving fans and lasting memories has driven Continental Diamond's success for over four decades. Whether you're a first-time buyer or a passionate collector, your experience with us remains our top priority.
We are a team of highly educated and experienced professionals. Our team is made up of career driven associates, many of whom have been in the business for over 20 years. We have three master goldsmiths, four gemologists and eleven GIA diamond experts – along with many other certified professional jewelry and timepiece specialists.
People often comment on how different our vibe is from other jewelry stores. It’s not the paint or décor that makes us unique –in fact we’re located on the first floor of a ten story office building; what we’ve realized that makes us different, is truly our “We Care More” attitude.
We Value & Support Our Community
Continental Diamond is proud to be an advocate for our visitors and customers but equally as passionate about being a contributing member of our community. Having grown up here, raised their children here, built this company here, Jimmy and Helain are invested in Minnesota and its welfare. By working with Continental Diamond you can be a part of our collected effort to support one another and our community.
Long before “experiences” were a thing, Continental Diamond became known as an oasis. With our relaxed, non-commissioned, stuffy-free atmosphere, you’ll find lots of laughter, hugging, life conversations, our famous freshly-baked cookies and maybe if you’re lucky even some visiting puppies.
