Ron Samuelson’s Summary

Right place, right time is the best way to describe Ron Samuelson’s experience in the diamond business. Although he stepped right into a leadership position in his family’s 87 year-old diamond business, the fact that he did this in the early 90’s, just as the internet was emerging, offered him a unique opportunity. He immediately saw the power of online marketing as a way of helping him elevate his game and become a force in Baltimore’s diamond landscape. By leveraging his knowledge of diamonds and his understanding of all things digital – website, social networking, blogging and email - he has helped Samuelson’s Diamonds become the area’s leader in online diamond buying and selling. He has been featured in Baltimore Magazine’s 40 under 40, profiled in the Wall Street Journal and leads the Facebook Jewelers Network, the cutting-edge resource for jewelers on the world’s most popular social networking site. Ron also started the Facebook Diamonds Fan Page, with almost 300,000 Diamond Fans interacting every day. He is an active member of Microgiving.com and serves on the Board of Directors of The Dr. Michael Feinglass Cancer Foundation. An avid musician, Ron and his band headline the annual Feinfest Benefit Concert. Ron lives in Maryland and is married with two children.
