About Chief Executive Officer, Gary Sanchez
Gary is the owner and Chief Executive Officer at Diamonds Direct. He began his career in jewelry in the Coast Guard in 1984. Even at a young age he loved buying jewelry and one day, he sold a gold chain off of his neck to a man on his Coast Guard base. The crew then started asking Gary to purchase chains for them, and soon his business was born. From a small mall kiosk to a brand new nationally recognized storefront, Gary has worked tirelessly to bring the best jewelry and customer service to his clients. He has traveled to Antwerp, Belgium to hand-select the best diamonds and implemented CAD/CAM technology to add custom jewelry design to his portfolio. Today, Diamonds Direct is proud to be the premiere jewelry store in St. Petersburg, FL.
