Meet Kevin Lydon

CEO and Founder of Your Diamond Hunter

Your Diamond Hunter was created to remove confusion, pressure, and guesswork from buying fine diamonds.

For decades, the diamond industry has relied heavily on opinion-based grading, inconsistent standards, and traditional retail markups. We chose a different path, one built on verified information, precision selection, and transparency.

Every diamond we offer is independently laboratory certified by respected global grading institutions. Without certification, a diamond is merely an opinion. With certification, every detail: cut, color, clarity, proportions, and performance  is
clearly defined and verified.

We specialize in lab-grown diamonds because they allow access to extraordinary beauty, superior precision cutting, and exceptional value, without compromise. These diamonds are physically, chemically, and optically identical to mined diamonds, 

while offering clients the opportunity to obtain larger, finer stones at a more intelligent value. Unlike traditional jewelry stores built around inventory and sales pressure, Your Diamond Hunter operates by consultation. Each piece is sourced or created intentionally, whether diamond earrings, engagement rings, or custom designs, with education and clarity guiding every decision.

Our standards are simple: Certified diamonds only. Education before purchase. Precision over volume. Confidence over persuasion.

Our role is to act as your diamond advocate — guiding, sourcing, and verifying every step so you can move forward with total confidence.

My Story

Your Diamond Hunter was founded after years of firsthand experience observing how inconsistent grading, opinion-based evaluations, and inflated pricing had become standard practice within the traditional jewelry industry.

We saw how the same diamond could receive different grades depending on where it was presented — and how customers were often expected to make meaningful purchases based on trust rather than verification. The solution was straightforward: focus exclusively on independently certified diamonds, eliminate unnecessary overhead, remove sales pressure, and advocate for the client — not the inventory.

As laboratory-grown diamonds evolved and global grading standards strengthened, it became possible to offer diamonds of exceptional cut, brilliance, and optical performance at values previously unavailable through traditional
retail models.

That evolution shaped Your Diamond Hunter — a boutique, consultation-based approach built on trust, education, and precision. Today, the philosophy remains unchanged: If a diamond isn’t certified, we don’t
sell it. If it isn’t exceptional, we don’t source it
