What Intercolor USA does

Intercolor USA is a privately held B2B gemstone wholesale dealer founded in 1978 and headquartered at 48 W 48th Street, Suite 800, in Midtown Manhattan's diamond district. The company specializes in fine quality single stones, matched pairs, and layouts across a curated portfolio of precious gemstones that includes rubies, blue and fancy (pink, yellow, orange, purple, green, Padparadscha, peach) sapphires, emeralds, tanzanite, alexandrite, and tsavorite. Its active inventory of 600+ stones is sourced from 17 countries of origin across Africa, Asia, South America, and Australia, and each lot can be accompanied by certifications from accepted gemological laboratories including GIA, GRS, AGL, Gubelin, SSEF, AIGS, CDC/CD (Christian Dunaigre Consulting), GIT, and Bellerophon.

The core commercial platform is a member-only online catalog accessible via password-protected login, with a 16-axis filter system covering gemstone type, sub-color, weight band, shape, origin, certification lab, treatment, pair type, and stock location (in-house vs. on-memo), supplemented by a dedicated Gemsearch inventory tool and a memo/approval system that lets registered buyers evaluate stones on consignment before purchase. The company explicitly does not sell directly to the public and routes non-member inquiries to existing retailers.

The commercial model is sales-led B2B wholesale on a per-stone, pay-as-you-go basis; pricing is non-public and quoted to members via phone (212.997.7755) or through the member portal. Customer segments are jewelry retailers, independent jewelers, and jewelry manufacturers that source single stones, matched pairs, and layouts for finished pieces. GTM is anchored in trade-show exhibitions and in-person appointments at the NYC office, with light secondary presence on LinkedIn and Instagram and SEO/organic search surfacing the public catalog. The company has 11–50 employees, a single US office, no disclosed funding, no M&A history, and no public revenue figures.
