Registration Opens for Israel Diamond Week in New York

(IDEX Online News) – Registration has opened for the fourth edition of the Israel Diamond Week in New York. The event will be held on the trading floor of the Diamond Dealers Club of New York (DDC) from October 19-22.

“The diamond trading centers of Israel and New York complement each other,” said DDC president Reuven Kaufman. "New York is the undisputed gateway for the diamond, gem and jewelry industry and trade in the United States while, since long, Israel has been one of the largest trading partners for the North American diamond market." 

Kaufman said that previous editions of the trading week had offered solid proof that such inter-bourse trading events provide an extra boost to business relations between American and Israeli diamond traders and buyers. “In the diamond trade, there is nothing like face-to-face meetings to conclude a successful business transaction."

Israel Diamond Exchange president Shmuel Schnitzer said the US is Israel’s most important market and the DDC is a long-time and trusted partner. “Once again, we hope to create many win-win scenarios for the members of both bourses and the visiting buyers, toward the holiday sales season," he said.  

Some hundred Israeli diamond traders are expected to attend the event.
