Large Attendance Expected at Diamond Week

"We are thrilled that Mr. Graff will be coming to Israel to join us for the inaugural International Diamond Week," said Israel Diamond Exchange President Yair Sahar. "Graff will arrive in Israel especially to join us in this exciting inaugural event."

The London-based jeweler is famous for his very high-end jewelry items, setting price records for many diamonds he purchased at auctions around the world.

IDE's U.S. / International Diamond Week will be held March 17-20, on the trading floor of the IDE in Ramat Gan.

"We will be welcoming a large group of American colleagues, as well as many dozens of buyers from other markets. And the variety of diamonds that will be available on the trading floor - rough and polished - will be unprecedented, ranging from very small goods to very large, one-of-a-kind diamonds," Sahar said.

Varda Shine, De Beers' executive vice president, global sales, will be the guest of honor at the ribbon cutting ceremony on Sunday March 17.
