The International Colored Gemstone Association�s (ICA)new global headquarters will soon be at the World Jewelry Centre. The Association has received a Letter of Intent to purchase space at the Centre.

Barbara Lipatapanlop, ICA executive director mentioned that with ICA having members from 46 countries there was a need for a central point for the international jewelry and gem industry to do business. �It was obvious early on that the World Jewelry Center would meet our needs, as some of our members will have office and retail space at WJC,� she added.

World Jewelry Center Managing Director Bill Boyajian added: �The ICA�s global diversity and perspective make it a perfect fit for the World Jewelry Center. With the American Gem Society and Gemological Institute of America already on board, the addition of the ICA is another strong indicator of the widespread support for the vision of the World Jewelry Center.�
