Israeli Diamond Industry in full force at JCK

Ramat Gan, Israel—The Israeli Diamond Industry continues to increase its presence at trade shows with 65 Israeli companies set to participate in the JCK Las Vegas show in June.

The JCK Las Vegas show is one of the more important events for the country's diamond industry, since the United States accounts for the largest portion of Israel's total polished-diamond exports. In 2006, Israel exported $4 billion of its $6.6 billion in polished diamond to the United States.

"The Israeli Diamond Industry is gearing up for a great show in Las Vegas," Israel Diamond Institute (IDI) Chairman Moti Ganz said in a media release. "All the Israeli exhibitors have invested huge efforts in preparing for the show, and they all have wonderful collections to show. Our industry is renowned for its creativity and innovation, and I'm sure that will be evident at the show."

He added that Israeli diamond companies have learned to gear their goods to the U.S. market and specific trade shows.

"We're looking forward to a wonderful show. The United States is our major market—every second gem-quality diamond sold in the United States is an Israeli diamond—and there is no doubt that JCK Las Vegas is the most important annual show in America," he said.

IDI Managing Director Eli Avidar says the organization has ramped up its marketing efforts.

"IDI is placing huge efforts in our marketing campaign. In the very near future, we will be opening new international offices, expanding our trade show participation into new markets, launching new Web-based initiatives and rolling out the second stage of our branding campaign," he said.

The IDI will once again host a large Israel Diamond Pavilion at JCK Las Vegas on Level One, International Drive, with 35 companies exhibiting. An additional 30 Israeli companies will exhibit throughout the show. The organization will have two booths at the show: stand 50118 in the Pavilion and stand 5049 on the upper level.
