ALROSA and the GfK research company have conducted extensive research into diamond consumers in the US and China, and found that 86% of Chinese respondents and 59% of respondents in the USA plan to buy at least one piece of diamond jewelry this year.
During the International Diamond Week we've inaugurated the technological incubator that's set in the IDE building itself.
The IDE digital coin, Carats IO, was launched on February 5th, during a festive ceremony at the International Diamond Week, and is another step of the IDE's technological revolution.
During the opening ceremony we published the Get Diamond index, first of its kind, presenting the value of diamonds by the sum of deals made per day, evaluating the diamond market and validating the virtual coin, Carat IO.
After long expectations, countless meetings and working around the clock, we're happy and excited to open today the year's greatest event, theming innovation and technology this time.
