Business Description: Locally and Familiy owned - Timothy E. Quigley, owner and founder of TQ Diamonds, unknowingly began his career with a simple childlike fascination with rocks and minerals. He began gathering and collecting gemstones at the age of nine. His intense fascination with gemstones catapulted him towards his dream career. Tim entered the jewelry industry as a salesperson for a local jeweler in 1985. Two short years later, he opened the doors of TQ Diamonds. Tim's business philosophy is based on outstanding service and the finest quality products. As an independent jeweler, Tim feels he can offer his clients much more than other jewelry store chains. Therefore, he hand selects every diamond and precious gem he sells. In addition, Tim developed a keen eye and deep appreciation for custom designed jewelry. He knows his clients are looking for unique pieces of jewelry that express their thoughts and ideas. Tim has brought custom design to a new level with TQ Diamonds. TQ Diamond's creative team consists of 3 designers/goldsmiths and 6 professional sales associates.
