A major diamond jewellery body has revealed its new-look board.

The International Coloured Gemstone Association (ICA) has appointed senior figures which will lead the group through the 2009-11 period.

Wilson Yuen has been named as the body's president, while Charles Abouchar and Jean Claude Michelou will take the roles of vice presidents.

Mr Yuen said that he is "very happy" with the board, saying that it includes numerous professionals with experience in the industry, lovers of gold diamond rings and diamond necklaces may be interested to hear.

He added: "Each of them brings a unique perspective to the ICA for setting our goals and defining our strategies over the next two years."

In other industry news, earlier this week the Antwerp Diamond Bourse announced that it is launching a new website, which it hopes will update visitors on the latest news regarding the city's diamond centre, with those interested able to sign up for email updates.
