Ramat Gan: With the fourth edition of the Israel Diamond Week in New York behind us, the organizing committee of the International Diamond Week in Israel (IDWI) has begun the preparations for the event’s winter edition that will be held at the Israel Diamond Exchange (IDE), February 14-18, 2016.

Moti Fluk, the IDWI’s parting chairperson, said he expected the February edition to bring more members of bourses – from the USA, Europe and Asia – onto the IDE trading floor than ever before. “We’ll be encouraging members of additional bourses affiliated to the World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB) to come and join us, making this the most diverse and valuable ‘inter-bourse’ diamond trading event that has been held up to now,” Fluk said. As has become tradition, members of the Diamond Dealers Club of New York (DDC), the Antwerp Diamond Bourse and the Bharat Diamond Bourse of Mumbai will be joining the event.
