Third Annual Diamond Trade Fair

Published on 03/02/12

The Antwerp Diamond Bourse and the Diamond Club of Antwerp opened their doors on Sunday as the third edition of the Antwerp Diamond Trade Fair (ADTF) was launched at the trading halls of the historic bourses. Diamond buyers from Europe, the Middle East and Turkey visited the booths of some 70 Antwerp diamond firms where an unprecedented collection of diamonds, gemstones and diamond jewelry were on display.

Phillipe Ringer, the sales manager of Trau Brothers, said the company was pleased to see a sizable delegation of Middle Eastern buyers at the fair. "Countries like Saudi Arabia and Lebanon have become increasingly important target markets for Antwerp diamond firms. These countries are showing a strong demand for high-end goods, both for large loose diamonds and for unique, high-quality diamond jewelry creations. To cater to these buyers, we are presenting both single stones as well as some extraordinary jewellery items," he said.
