Surat: The Diamond City will host a two-day-long Diamond Detection Expo & Symposium (DDES) 2017 to provide a platform for the trade to interact with developers of machines and technology for detection of natural diamonds and synthetic at Samast Patidar Samaj Bhavan at Katargam starting from April 14.

Regional chairman of Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), Mr. Dinesh Navadiya strongly reiterated that Surat’s diamond industry stood firmly committed to taking all steps necessary to prevent undisclosed mixing and establish separate footprints for natural and synthetic diamonds as this would help maintain consumer confidence in natural diamonds.
