Yoram Dvash: This is an historic agreement that will enable us to concentrate on growing the diamond industry.

Registration is progressing at a brisk pace after opening earlier this month with the number of buyers certain to surpass all of the previous events.

Several Tenders of polished and rough diamonds are to be held at the event in February.

The visit began with a tour of the Harry Oppenheimer Diamond Museum, and continued with a reception in the directors' room together with IDE President Yoram Dvash and IDE directors.

I. Hennig Tenders, the independent international diamond tender operator, holds several tenders every month in various markets.

His visit is timed to coincide with the opening of the IDE International Tender Center.

The Israel Diamond Exchange is new features, special guests and free attractions to make this event even more advantageous to international buyers.

Registration via a specially created web site will be available soon, and the WFDB will announce it as soon as it goes online.

IDE President Yoram Dvash is calling on members of all diamond bourses affiliated to the World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB) to attend the event.

The auction was 80 percent sold by lot and 84 percent sold by value, attracting 149 buyers from 23 countries.

ALROSA's rough prices have been adjusted up or down by only about 2 percent at its monthly sales this year.

With rough producers’ revised output plans across the industry and other mine expansions, production worldwide next year could rise by 2.5 percent to 130 million carats.
