Registration opens for the Israel Diamond Exchange's second diamond buying event, being held August 26-29. Staged in the largest diamond trading hall in the world, the four-day happening offers big advantages. Participation costs almost nothing, buyers enjoy 100% security at the safest diamond bourse in the world, and more than $1 billion of goods, of a huge range, direct from the manufacturers at straight-from-the-factory prices, will be on offer.

The upcoming US & International Diamond Week is a joint project of the Israeli and New York diamond exchanges, developed by their respective presidents, YairSahar and Reuven Kaufman. The second fair is being held following the overwhelming success of the previous joint projects: the first Diamond Week event in March and the Israel Week held in December 2012 at the DDC New York.Representatives from more than 200 overseas diamond companies networked with in excess of 500 Israeli diamantaires in the IDE's comfortable and spacious trading hall at the first Diamond Week in March. The number of handshakes, exchanges of mazalu'bracha and requests for business cards was so great that everyone went home with a taste for more.
