About us
For over 90 years, our family has lived a passion for the extraordinary. For exceptional diamond jewelry that brings joy and forever reminds us of the very special moments in life. Now in our third generation, our qualified team produces jewelry made from the finest materials in expressive designs that catch the eye. At home in Germany’s diamond metropolis Idar-Oberstein since 1931, we move with the times – but at the same time stand for lasting values that stand the test of time.
Herbert Giloy laid the foundation stone of our family business in 1931 with the establishment of a diamond cutting shop. Today it is run by the third generation and still stands for comprehensive diamond expertise and outstanding quality.
Manfred Giloy, son of Herbert Giloy, completes his training as a diamond cutter and joins the company.
Manfred Giloy becomes Managing Director, his brother Werner Giloy also works for the family business. The company expands and the diamond cutting shop becomes a diamond jewelry manufactory. During this time, trusting relationships with leading suppliers in the world's diamond and jewelry metropolises are established, which continue to this day.
The qualified employees of Giloy & Söhne are one of the first in Idar-Oberstein to also work as diamond appraisers.

By investing in innovative manufacturing techniques, we are setting new standards and consolidating our leading position in the European diamond jewelry market. Long-standing relationships with our international business partners and the fact that we are still a family-run business today make Giloy & Söhne a stable and independent company.
Made in Germany
Top quality has been our maxim since the very beginning. The entire jewelry manufacturing process, from purchasing the diamonds to designing and setting the stones, lives up to this claim. We manufacture diamond jewelry that deserves to be called “Made in Germany”.
Responsibility
We source our diamonds exclusively from long-standing, renowned business partners in the world’s diamond trading capitals. In accordance with the System of Warranties, our partners are obliged to purchase diamonds only from legitimate sources and to comply with social standards such as the globally recognized ILO and the principles of the ILO and the UN Global Compact.
With the “World Federation of Diamond Bourses” seal, we act in accordance with a special code of conduct. In addition, we are RJC-certified and thus guarantee responsible ethical, human rights, social and environmentally friendly working practices.
But our responsibility does not end with the purchase of the stones: careful handling of this exclusive resource and sustainable production are also essential components of our philosophy. From the quality of the raw materials to the skillful processing of the stones and the design of the jewelry – diamond jewelry from Giloy & Söhne is made to last.
