Ramat Gan, Israel—In keeping with its strong presence at diamond events worldwide, the Israeli Diamond Industry (IDI) will host its largest contingent ever at Vicenzaoro Winter 2008.

Nine Israeli companies are slated to attend the fair, exhibiting a wide variety of goods, including loose stones and finished diamond jewelry.

While the majority of Israel's polished-diamond exports go to the United States and the Far East—the IDI has placed a major emphasis of late on improving its relationship with China—exports to European markets are growing.

Belgium and Switzerland are the IDI's third and fourth largest markets respectively and, for the first 11 months of the year, exports to Switzerland rose 42 percent; to England, 34 percent; and to Belgium, 20 percent.

"We view the European markets with great interest and seek to enhance the Israeli Diamond Industry's marketing efforts throughout the continent," said IDI Chairman Moti Ganz. "Vicenzaoro, as the first major trade event on the European diamond and jewelry calendar, is a most significant platform for the Israeli industry, and that's why we decided to enhance our presence there this year."

Israeli companies expected to attend are: A.G. Diamond Direct Ltd., Eizenstein Diamonds Ltd., Fancy Colours Ltd., Gal Diamonds Ltd., Lustig Brothers Ltd., Moshe Namdar and Co. Ltd., SDE Group, S.K.R. Fine Jewelry and YEI—Yahalomei Espeka Ltd.

Vicenazaoro Winter 2008 is being held from Jan. 13-20 in Vicenza, Italy.
