The maison
Three diamond specialists devoted to rare antique cuts, exceptional stones and discreet private service.
Our storyEstablished 1976
Imperial Cushions began as a small family business and grew through knowledge, trust and an enduring search for unusual material. We serve private collectors, jewelers and advisers worldwide while preserving the direct, personal character on which the house was built.
Imperial Cushions is the specialist brand of Rotshild Mordechayev Diamonds, operating from the Israel Diamond Exchange in Ramat Gan, Israel.
The people behind the house
Founder, owner and master cutter
Rothschild founded and built the family business now represented by Imperial Cushions. His career as a master cutter and diamond specialist shapes the house standard: disciplined judgment, respect for the material and the patience to refuse a stone that lacks character. His eye guides proportion, recovery and the small cutting decisions that allow an antique diamond to retain its presence, individuality and life.
Senior diamond specialist
Shlomo brings decades of international diamond-trade experience to sourcing, commercial judgment and the relationships that sustain private service across markets. He combines a practical understanding of value with a calm, measured approach to negotiation, helping clients and trade partners move from an initial brief to a well-considered decision with clarity and confidence.
Graduate gemologist, cutter, dealer and antique-jewelry specialist
Mortdechay combines graduate gemological training with experience as a diamond cutter, dealer and antique-jewelry specialist. He examines and photographs each diamond, writes its dealer description and translates technical detail into an honest account of character, beauty and condition. He also leads sales, press and client communication, giving every enquiry a direct route to the specialist who knows the stone.
Professional standing
We are members of the Israel Diamond Exchange. Depending on the individual stone, documentation may be issued by major independent gemological laboratories including GIA, IGI, HRD Antwerp and Gübelin Gem Lab.
Knowledge, carried forward
Rarity alone is not enough. A stone must possess balance, life and a quality that remains memorable long after its certificate is put away.
