The worldwide diamond trade will continue to thrive, especially in rapidly emerging markets such as the Middle East, China, and India, despite the current global financial crisis, according to speakers at the first Middle East-China Diamond and Jewellery Summit, held Nov. 8 and 9.
“We cannot escape from the fact that these are tough times for the world,” said Varda Shine, managing director, Diamond Trading Company, the marketing arm of DeBeers. “But it is in tough times that you find out what you are made of—and nothing is made of tougher, more enduring value than a diamond. It is clear that, in the coming years, markets across the Middle East, China, Hong Kon,g and the rest of Asia will play an immensely important role in ensuring that this industry continues to witness sustained growth.”
Ahmed Bin Sulayem, executive chairman, DMCC added, “Growth is not only defined by numbers on a page or by percentage calculations. Growth is what I see around me today and everyday when I go to work. Even amidst the current global economic crisis, it is important for us to focus on the positive. And the positive fact remains that countries like China, India, and many Middle East states will continue to register positive growth. Here in Dubai, in particular, which serves as a strategic crossroads for worldwide diamond trade flows, business-friendly policies have led to robust growth in Dubai’s diamond trade.”
The conference, organized by the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre, also included the first public unveiling of a large, rare rough diamond and the conference honoured seven industry leaders.
The DMCC and Letšeng Diamonds unveiled a 478-carat white diamond recovered at Letšeng Mine in Lesotho in September of this year. The unveiling ceremony, which marked the first time the stone has been publicly viewed, was hosted by Sulayam, and Clifford Elphick, chairman of Letšeng Diamonds, the owner of the Letšeng Mine in Lesotho, where the diamond was recovered.
Initial analysis indicates that the stone could yield a D colour flawless round brilliant diamond of up to 150 carats, making it the largest diamond of its kind in history.
Analysis further revealed that the stone could alternatively yield a D flawless diamond of up to 300 carats, the largest D flawless polished diamond since the production of the British Crown Jewels.
Seven industry leaders were given Lifetime Achievement Awards during a gala event at the Atlantis Dubai, where the conference was held. They are as follows:
The late Mohammed Taher Abdullah, founder, Damas; Vincent Chow, Group general manager, Chow Sang Sang; Imam Altimbas, founder, Altimbas; Robert Mouwad, Founder, Mouwad; Jamal Farsi, founder, Farsi Jewellery; Roberto Coin, founder, Roberto Coin; and Pankaj Mehta, founder, Dimexon Group.

The 24-karat handbag – International Herald Tribune

The 24-karat handbag
NEW YORK: Holiday shoppers stuck between the gift of a handbag or a piece of jewelry can rest easy. A flood of deluxe designer bags, embellished with precious metals and stones, has rendered the question moot.
Judith Leiber, the Hungarian-born designer and author of “The Artful Handbag,” covered this territory for decades, creating dazzling minaudi?res, or evening bags, for first ladies and Hollywood starlets. New are the jewelers who have popped up in her likeness.
A fine, if extreme, example, is the “platinum bijoux” evening bag from Tanaka Kikinzoku Jewelry, of Japan, bedecked with 208 carats of diamonds. Weighing in at 800 grams, or 1.8 pounds, the one-of-a-kind bag required a year to complete and is now on offer for ?200 million, or $2 million. It was originally intended to serve as a showpiece. But Naoto (Nick) Mizuki, general manager of marketing, says the company is considering a line of similar bags, at somewhat lower prices.
It was only a matter of time. Between a bag and a jewel, each costing $2,000, “it’s much easier to sell the handbag,” the New York-based designer Kara Ross said. “There’s such a romantic connotation to fine jewelry. A woman may want it but will go home and ask her husband to buy it.”
Ross began her career designing custom-made jewelry in platinum and diamonds. Three years ago, she migrated to handbags made from exotic skins, which she accents with offbeat stones such as pale green prehnite, hematite and rock crystal. She now does such a brisk trade in bags, the bulk of which retail for less than $3,000, that they account for nearly 50 percent of her business.
Over the past year, more jewelers have begun to embrace the two-in-one approach, not least because it offers a way to diversify their product lines in an uncertain economy.
“Ladies know more about handbags because the value of jewelry – of precious stones and pearls – is still relatively unknown,” said Anna Gaia, vice president of Utopia, a pearl jewelry manufacturer in Milan.
In April, Utopia capitalized on that discrepancy in consumer knowledge by presenting three handbag styles – two in crocodile skin and one in lizard – at the Baselworld luxury fair, each retailing for around $8,000. One features a detachable insert of South Sea pearls and diamonds doubling as a pendant.
Another Italian, Roberto Coin, is finishing a 2009 handbag collection that riffs off a series of limited-edition evening clutches he introduced in 2007. Spun from leather covered in 24-karat gold, the bags start at $25,000.
