Saul Weissbart started his career as a diamond polisher at the age of 14, when he arrived in Hatton Garden in the 1940s. He gradually began supplying diamonds to his customers in the 1950s and built a highly respected reputation in the trade.

Saul was a life-long member of the London Diamond Bourse. Furthermore, he served on the Board for over two decades in a variety of roles, helping to shape the policy of London’s diamond trade. He was well-known for his deadpan sense of humour, and people still come into the office quoting his jokes!

In 2012, Saul was interviewed by Rachel Lichtenstein for her book, Diamond Street: The Hidden World of Hatton Garden, a fascinating account of London’s diamond district. She devoted an entire chapter to him and his memoirs.

S Weissbart remains a family business, with brothers David and Jonathan running their father’s office in time-honoured tradition. David began working with his father in 1985, and Jonathan joined them ten years later. Many valued customers have been with the company since those early trading years.

Now in its seventh decade, S Weissbart combines online trading with first-class service and trust.
