CIBJO's Diamond Commission issues Special Report

Preceding the 2012 CIBJO Congress, CIBJO's Diamond Commission has issued its Special Report. Diamond Commission president- Udi Sheintal began his report saying that the expression ‘No news is good news’ holds true in the case of discussions about diamond nomenclature - in CIBJO circles and beyond held in the past years.

Comparing the depth of the issues arising in the COBJO’s coloured stone and pearl sectors with regards to nomenclatures, in the diamond sector “the heat of discussions has been lowered to a moderate temperature. This has allowed the members of the Diamond Commission Steering Committee and the Diamond Commission (DC) to concentrate on the fine tuning of the wording of the Diamond Book and, also, to open the floor for discussion on other topics that have moved into the diamond sector's field of vision."

The 2012 CIBJO Congress is scheduled in May 2012, in Vicenza, Italy.
