AGI was originally founded by Pete Vaidya, starting as a loose gemstone distributor in the Southwest region only. AGI has expanded over the last 4+ decades to establish its dominance in the wholesale B2B market as a fine jewelry and gemstone powerhouse. AGI has two core divisions – loose precious color gemstones and finished jewelry, and exclusively supplies to independent retail stores all across North America. AGI is a vertically integrated wholesale manufacturer and distributor. AGI’s finished jewelry line is a combination of high-quality materials (14K, 18K, or platinum), genuine/mined diamonds and luscious, rich-in-color gemstones (never synthetic or lab-grown), and most importantly, an ever-evolving curation of the latest trends and fashion statements at attractive, sellable price points for our retail partners. We also pride ourselves on our gemstone expertise and detailed curation. With on-staff gemologists to assist, we will always provide subject-matter expertise on rare and expensive gemstones for our retail partners.
