Diamond Industry Saddened by Loss of a True Gentelman
Jeffrey Comment, CEO Helzberg Diamonds
The diamond industry mourns the loss of one of its "diamond stars", Jefferey W. Comment, Chairman and CEO of Helzberg Diamonds.
Jeffery, a noted philanthropist and well respected member in the diamond trade died unexpectedly on Oct. 30. He was 60.
Comment is credited with helping to expand the Helzberg Diamonds retail chain from 72 to 265 locations throughout the United States during his 16 years with the company. His focus was on (diamond) brand protection - a topic he recently lectured on for GIA students at the institute's world headquarters and Robert Mouawad Campus in Carlsbad.
"Jeff Comment was a true gentelman, intelligent, articulate and giving as a leader, and as a human being," said GIA President William E. Boyajian.
Comment was active in many charitable causes, including the United Way

Comment is survived by his wife of 34 years, Martha, and his two children, Kristen and Ryan.
