IDE Announces Dates of Summer Int'l Diamond Week

The Israel Diamond Exchange (IDE) announced that the Summer Edition of the International Diamond Week in Israel (IDWI) will be held from August 30 to September 3, 2015 in the IDE's trading halls.

The largest diamond exchange in the world - both in the number of members as well as in the trading floor's size - the IDE is holding the event a few weeks prior to the major gem and jewelry trade shows in Asia, enabling traders and wholesalers to purchase and prepare goods for the Fall shows in Bangkok, Shenzen and Hong Kong.

"These semi-annual diamond trading weeks have proven to be not only great networking events, but also a very effective sales platform, both for visiting buyers, as well as for the local members," explained Israel Diamond Exchange President Shmuel Schnitzer.

"As we continue to stage these low-cost, low-threshold events, we are offering all our members, no matter the size or volume of their businesses, an opportunity to meet international buyers, network and develop new business contacts," he added.

IDE Treasurer Moti Fluk, who also heads the IDWI Organizing Committee, said: "We invite buyers to save the date, visit the website and leave their contact details. We are already working to make the IDWI Summer Edition as successful as the previous one, and look forward to welcome even larger numbers of buyers in August."
