A strong participation by Israel diamond companies is expected for the upcoming "U.S. Diamond Week" to be held from March 17 to 20 at the Israel Diamond Exchange (IDE). "The March 17-20 buyers' week is open to accredited diamond dealers from all over the world," emphasized IDE President Yair Sahar. He noted that more than 100 Israeli diamond firms have already signed up to display and sell goods at the event, with many more expected to do so in the coming weeks.

The event is slated to be held on the trading floor of the IDE, and is one among several events planned in March with the purpose of providing a range of business opportunities for IDE members who will welcome buyers from across the world.

Buyers will be offered complimentary hotel accommodation at the Leonardo Hotel, located opposite the Ramat Gan diamond exchange complex. Sahar noted. "The IDI and its chairman Moti Ganz have time and again shown just how deeply the IDI is committed to creating interest in and demand for Israel's diamond industry, and this is another wonderful example," he added.

The U.S. Diamond Week will be followed by diamond tenders by Archos, the Israeli subsidiary of Russia's Alrosa, Diamdel, I. Hennig & Co. Ltd. and Fusion Alternatives Tenders and eDiamond amongst others.
