It takes a special piece of jewelry to mark a momentous occasion such as an engagement, the birth of a child, or a special anniversary. In South Florida, there’s a unique boutique locals trust when it comes to acquiring meaningful creations. King Jewelers, a fifth generation family-owned-and-operated business, has been a reliable source for certified diamonds, fine jewelry, and Swiss timepieces, along with first-class customer service, since 1912.
Today, owners Scott and Maxine King continue to uphold their family’s traditions of integrity, dedication to customer care, and love of timepieces- all cornerstone ideals established by Scott’s great-grandfather. With the help of their sons, David and Jono, King Jewelers has grown to include showrooms in Aventura, FL. and Nashville, TN.

“Carrying on a great legacy comes with great responsibility, prudence, and intuition,” says Jono King, Vice President of Sales. “I believe my brother and I really understand this industry, respect its roots, and are constantly looking forward to stay ahead of the curve and never behind. It’s been a successful recipe we continue to perfect.”
Known for hand-picking each gem and diamond, it is the incomparable quality of their offerings and customer service that has made King the personal jeweler to a long standing clientele desiring a high-end shopping experience. As an authorized dealer for top luxury Swiss watch brands, King Jewelers houses authentic Breitling, Cartier, Hublot, and Jaeger-LeCoultre timepieces, among others. For the finest diamond selection, their diamond and fine jewelry collections include leading designers such as Harry Winston, Chimento, Forevermark, John Hardy, and Roberto Coin.
“Our family business is rooted in trust, integrity, knowledge, know-how and the utmost appreciation for our clients and friends,” continues Jono. “One of the greatest compliments we receive is when our clients go out of their way to tell us what a wonderful experience they had and how our stores and staff aren’t pushy or forward, which makes the whole luxury experience that much more mutually enjoyable.”

The Color-Changing Chameleon Diamond

With fine quality diamonds, rarity equates to value. With diamonds in the normal range, value is based on the absence of color, because colorless diamonds are the rarest. With fancy color diamonds— stones outside the normal color range as determined by GIA—the rarest and most valuable colors are saturated pinks, blues, and greens. In all cases of fancy colored diamonds, even minor color differences can have a big impact on value. One of the most fascinating and exotic diamonds has to be the Chameleon Diamond, a rare and color-changing diamond that normally appears to be green yet can morph to a range of shades of the spectrum from brown to yellow.
As rare as they are, chameleon diamonds are particularly awe-inspiring because of certain qualities that no other stones possess. At the core of those characteristics is a unique power: the ability to change color. These diamonds actually adapt to their environment and temporarily switch colors, switch hues. It’s important to note that not all chameleons go from a darker hue to a light one – some shift colors in the reverse, from yellow to green.
So what actually causes this change in diamond color? While researchers are unable to thoroughly explain these color-changing behaviors, which are known as thermochromism (a switch in response to heat) and a photochromism (a switch in response to light), these diamonds all contain unusually high concentrations of hydrogen, as well as traces of nickel and nitrogen, in their crystal structure. This nitrogen-hydrogen complex could be responsible for the chameleon effect.
What makes these stones so fascinating is not only their color-changing capability, but also the fact that very little has been written about them. For these reasons, chameleon diamonds remain an intriguing phenomenon and a highly sought-after addition to any connoisseurs or investor’s collection. To date, the largest documented stone of this kind is a 31.32-carat oval-cut chameleon diamond known as the Chopard Chameleon Diamond.
