Founded in 1970 as Raleighs first wholesale jewelry distributor, CMI Jewelry Showroom grew into a nationally recognized importer of diamonds direct by the mid 1980s. Due to increasing local demand the original Showroom was opened to the public in the 1990s and most recently expanded into a 10,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility. Our continued growth is a testament to the long-time commitment to our customers and to the support of our community. We carefully select our diamonds from sources world wide at significant discounts based on our large volume of inventory. Our diamonds are independently certified for quality and precision of cut by the most reputable laboratories. Simply put, we offer selection and values similar to the internet without the common dangers involved with purchasing on-line. CMI has Local owners who are available to personally teach you about diamonds as well as an educated, professional staff who DO NOT WORK ON COMMISSION.
