Diamonds by Raymond Lee: Our Story

In Boca Raton, Florida, the name Diamonds by Raymond Lee is synonymous with luxury jewelry and exceptional service. For over 40 years, our family‑owned and operated business has been a beacon of excellence in the high‑end jewelry market, serving clients who demand nothing but the best. We built our reputation on integrity, personalized attention, and a relentless commitment to quality. Whether you are searching for a dazzling engagement ring or looking to sell a treasured timepiece, Diamonds by Raymond Lee offers an unparalleled concierge‑level experience for jewelry and watch lovers alike.

A Family Legacy in Boca Raton

Our story began in 1983, when founder Jeff Josephson moved his family from Scotland to sunny Boca Raton to pursue his dream of opening a fine jewelry store. He established Raymond Lee Jewelers that year, laying a foundation of trust and quality that would span generations. Our original Raymond Lee Jewelers showroom remains a family-owned Boca Raton institution built on trust and excellence.

 Decades later, two generations of the Josephson family continue to run the business, keeping alive Jeff’s founding values of honesty, integrity, and exceptional service.

In 2016, the Josephson family expanded their legacy by opening Diamonds by Raymond Lee, a cutting‑edge showroom in East Boca Raton. Located at the former site of the iconic Boca Diner, our standalone facility transformed a beloved local landmark into a state‑of‑the‑art jewelry destination. This renovation created a gorgeous, high‑tech showroom that revitalized the area and signaled our long‑term commitment to the Boca Raton community. Today, Diamonds by Raymond Lee is recognized as South Florida’s diamond destination, a modern boutique filled with GIA‑certified diamonds, designer bridal jewelry, and an extensive selection of luxury watches. Under the leadership of Jeff’s nephew, Dan Josephson, our East Boca showroom blends a fresh concept with the same family values that have guided us for decades, creating the next generation of jewelers rooted in tradition.
