Side Stones That Frame the Center

Malka’s Story

A Different Eye for the Stones

Three-million-dollar deals were written on a tiny piece of silver foil torn from a cigarette pack and sealed with a handshake. That was all it took. The business was built on trust — and I built my life on it. Malka Roizen, President
Malka Roizen, President of Baguette Mondial

For nearly fifty years, Malka Roizen has built a reputation on something that cannot be weighed or graded: trust.

One of the few women to own and operate an independent diamond business, Malka brings a different eye to the stones — one shaped by decades of experience, a perspective her customers have come to value as much as her legendary precision. Her clients return not simply because of the quality of her diamonds, but because they know that when Malka says a stone is a certain size, color, or quality, it is. Every time.

But her story begins long before Baguette Mondial, inside Israel’s legendary diamond exchange — in a trading hall that didn’t want her there at all.

Ramat Gan · 1979

The Trading Floor

Malka was twenty-one years old when a family friend invited her to work with him at the diamond bourse in Ramat Gan. He became her employer and mentor, introducing her to the business and teaching her everything he knew. She studied by night and worked the floor by day, stepping each morning into a world of fortunes and back out each evening into ordinary life. It was a man’s world, and many of the religious traders objected to a woman joining them in the hall.

On my first day, I was carrying a tray of coffee into the building. A man saw me and just slammed the door in my face. The coffee spilled everywhere. I was clearly not welcome.

But Malka never tried to force acceptance. She simply worked. Within weeks, attitudes began to change — they went from ignoring her completely to giving her advice, even throwing her a bone occasionally.

One day, while walking past a negotiation, two traders asked Malka to hold a rare fancy red diamond while they completed the paperwork. Her mentor saw what was happening and told the traders, “If she’s holding the stone, she deserves a commission.” They agreed — and Malka received a commission on the deal. The woman who had once been ignored on the trading floor was now being recognized as part of the business.

Her mentor also taught her that the diamond business depended on absolute honesty. Reputation was everything. She witnessed deals worth millions of dollars recorded on small pieces of silver foil torn from cigarette packs, then finalized with a handshake. Once your word meant something, it was all anyone needed — and Malka embraced that philosophy completely.

She learned every stage of the business — from sorting rough diamonds to evaluating finished stones for color, clarity, cut, and measurement. Because her mentor also owned a polishing factory, she followed each diamond from rough crystal to finished brilliance, developing an instinct that still guides her today.

I can look at a stone and tell you if it’s mine or not. That deep looking has stayed with me forever.
Miami · 1992

Baguette Mondial

When Malka immigrated to the United States with her family, she knew she wanted to build something of her own. News reached one of Israel’s leading diamond manufacturers — a deeply religious man whom she had befriended years earlier on the trading floor. The same community that had once questioned whether a woman belonged in the diamond exchange now believed in her enough to become her business partner.

He would manufacture diamonds in Israel. Malka would build the business in Miami. She named the company Baguette Mondial, reflecting the baguette and fancy square-cut diamonds that formed its foundation.

Success came almost immediately. During her first week, jewelers streamed into her office, and she often worked until nine o’clock at night. They quickly discovered what customers still value today: Malka didn’t simply sell diamonds — she understood exactly which stones belonged in each piece of jewelry. Over the years, she expanded far beyond baguettes into all sizes, fancy cuts and fancy colors, and the business grew on her name alone.

The Standard

Every Stone, Measured by Hand

In a business where every shipment is insured, every return is expensive, and every mistake costs time and money, accuracy matters. To this day, every diamond that leaves Malka’s office is calibrated. Round, oval, marquise, emerald, radiant, pear — every stone is measured by hand to ensure it matches the customer’s exact specifications.

That level of precision saves her customers countless hours, unnecessary shipping costs, and expensive returns. More importantly, it gives them the confidence to begin creating without stopping to verify every shipment.

The Partnership

More Than a Supplier

Over the years, Malka’s role has evolved far beyond selling diamonds. When customers are unsure which size will best fit a design, she photographs multiple stones side by side so they can compare proportions before making a decision. For center stones, she often sends several carefully selected options, encouraging customers to keep the one that best suits their piece and return the rest without pressure. She doesn’t simply fill orders — she helps jewelers create.

The same care extends to color and quality. If a customer requests an F-color diamond, they receive an F-color diamond. In decades of business, Malka has never had a customer reject a stone because it failed to match what was promised.

People need what they need. My job is to make sure that’s exactly what they get. If you ask for F color, you’ll get F color. People trust me — and most of them don’t even check my goods anymore.

In an industry where a handshake once carried the weight of millions of dollars, there is no greater compliment than knowing your customers trust you without a second thought.

Invisible Setting · On Request

Grooving Available to Order

On request, stones can be cut with fine grooves along the girdle so they lock into a metal rail with no prongs in sight — the invisible setting. It lets a cluster of stones read as one larger stone, and sets seamless fields for watch bezels and pavé-style pieces. It’s a painstaking, specialist cut that few manufacturers offer; ask for it and Malka calibrates and grooves each stone to sit shoulder to shoulder in a seamless field of light.

One Standard

Measured by Hand, Every Time

Every stone is personally calibrated and checked against your request — length, width and depth. Ask for F color and F color arrives; ask for a 1.3 mm round and that is exactly what ships. We hold tapered baguettes in all sizes — including large goods such as 8 × 4.6 mm in EF / VVS, or any color you require. Large certified goods are supplied to the same standard. In all her years, Malka has never had a stone rejected for failing to match what was asked.
