"The Stargems collaboration is of course a welcome initiative as it further underscores Dubai and DDE’s position as the global destination of choice for the diamond industry.” The DMCC said that Dubai is one of the world’s top three diamond hubs, and recorded diamond trading with a value of $26 billion in 2016. “This is an exciting chapter for Stargems and we are thrilled to partner with the DDE, a facility that is synonymous with the highest possible industry standards,” said Stargems Group Chairman Shailesh Javeri. “The business case is clear. Diamond tenders are an increasingly important sales mechanism for us, through these tenders, we hope to bridge the gap between the diamond producing nations and the manufacturing units in Asia. This partnership will guarantee a secure and transparent tendering process in a regulated environment provided by the DDE,” Javeri added. The DDE hosted tenders attended by over 130 international buyers in 2017 with the opening in November of Almas Diamond Services DMCC – the UAE’s first state of the art diamond polishing facility – which has further strengthened the Dubai Diamond Exchange’s global standing, the DMCC added.
