Israel Diamond Institute Third Seminar on Rough Diamond Sources Features Canadian Producers
Ramat Gan (ContentDesk) May 3, 2006 -- Israeli diamond companies were invited to form cooperative agreements with Canadian rough diamond producers, at a seminar organized by the Israel Diamond Institutes (IDI) Rough Diamond Committee. The seminar featured Pierre Leblanc, Executive Director of Canadian Diamond Consultants; Martin Irving, Manager of the Minerals Sector, Strategic Sector Branch, Government of Saskatchewan; and George Read, SVP of Shore Gold Inc. Kenneth MacNeill, President and CEO of Shore Gold also attended. Canadian Ambassador to Israel Donald Sinclair brought greetings. The seminar was moderated by Chaim Even-Zohar.
The seminar was hosted by IDI Chairman Simcha Lustig, who chairs its Rough Diamond Committee, and was attended by Israel Diamond Exchange President Avi Paz, Israel Diamond Manufacturers Association Moti Ganz and Israel Diamond Controller Shmuel Mordechai. Lustig said that the seminar is part of the institutes efforts to introduce additional rough sources to the Israeli diamond industry. Israel is a major buyer of rough diamonds, having imported $5.3 billion in 2005. Canadian and Israeli Diamond Industries to cooperate:Lustig said that Canada produces today 15% of the worlds rough diamonds, and is expected to produce 25% by 2010 and 50% by 2020. He said that IDIs previous seminars on Sierra Leone and South Africa yielded productive business relations.
I have no doubt that this event will lead to an even greater number of profitable connections, he said.Ambassador Sinclair said that although Israel doesnt have the mines, it has the brains needed for the diamond industry. Sinclair stressed that Canada is an active sponsor of the Kimberley Process, and that this commitment represents Canadian values and interests.Pierre Leblanc said that Canada is the 3rd largest producer of gem diamonds, with the first mine becoming operational in 1998. Over 120 companies are involved in diamond exploration, spending over US $240 million in 2005. Canadian diamonds, he said, have done very well at the retail level, but there is a shortage of product. The Canadian identity, he added, carries a high level of consumer confidence.
Leblanc said that Israeli diamond companies should consider investments and cooperation with Canadian companies at the earliest stage.Martin Irving listed Canadas many advantages for investors including: strong government support, strong geo-science expertise, and attractive branding opportunities. Irving said that diamonds mined in Canada, which are cut and polished in Israel, can be labeled a Canadian diamond, and thereby enjoy the advantages this brand carries.Israeli Diamond companies invited to set up marketing agreements:George Read told participants about Shore Golds two mining ventures Star Diamond Project and Fort a la Corne Joint Venture, both in central Saskatchewan. Read said that both projects show quality twice as high as the world average. Diamonds of favorable size and color, including occasional fancy yellow and pinks, have already been produced there. Read said that the kimberlite deposits in this area are of exceptional size, and are expected to yield huge quantities of rough diamonds.
Production is expected to begin in 2011.Read invited Israeli diamond companies to become involved with his companys projects. We need to see Israeli confidence in our projects. Israeli Diamond companies are invited to set up marketing agreements with us. We dont yet have marketing agreements in place, he said..
Diamond Engagement Rings
For many of us, buying diamond engagement rings are the third most expensive purchases we make, after a home and a car. But they are also very risky, since not everyone who is on the lookout for a good engagement ring is conversant about choosing a good one. This makes people like us vulnerable to dishonest people out to cheat you by selling a poor grade diamond at an exorbitant price.
To avoid such pitfalls, do the following:
Read all you can about diamonds: Research the subject of diamond buying and be as knowledgeable about it as you can. After all, knowledge is power.
Buy only from reputed jewelry stores: You may decide to buy online or at a jewelry store?in either case, ensure you know all there is to the store in question.
Go to the store and quiz the salesman about diamonds to understand his level of knowledge on the subject.
Always ask for a certificate: Never buy a diamond without asking for a certificate or you could...

A Guide To Diamond Earrings
The word ?diamond' is derived from an ancient Greek work meaning "impossible to tame." Diamonds are one of the best-known forms of carbon. They have been used as gems from time immemorial and have a wide variety of industrial applications. The popularity of diamonds increased in the 19th century because of improved cutting and polishing techniques. The quality of the diamond is usually judged by the four C's, referring to carat, clarity, color and cut.
Diamond earrings are a personal adornment worn attached to the ear lobe. Egyptians initiated the fashion of earrings by first wearing large gold hoops, which eventually grew smaller and also contained a pendant.
In Babylonia and Assyria, men used to wear earrings as a sign of position. The Romans were connoisseurs of earrings set with precious stones. In the 18th century the diamond earring became more fashionable, and the 19th century witnessed the extensive use of the cameo.
Two basic types of diamond...
