The Hong Kong September Jewellery and Gem Fair 2011 opened Monday, with notable presence by the Israeli Diamond Industry.
The Israeli pavilion is the largest at the show in terms of the number of exhibitors. Special effort has been put into the Israel Diamond Institute’s two 1,500-square-meter booths, in which 105 diamond companies are showing, to attract buyers to the Israeli booths.
The IDI also sponsored the official opening event, at which IDI Chairman Moti Ganz presented Diamond Trading Company CEO Varda Shine with the League of Honor and presented the new president of the Israel Diamond Exchange, Yair Sahar.
Sahar congratulated Shine in the name of the Israeli Diamond Industry for her work on behalf of Israel’s diamond sector and gave her an IDI brooch designed by Yehuda Kassif, curator of the Harry Oppenheimer Diamond Museum. The brooch tells the story of a diamond from the moment it is mined to the moment it is polished.
