Diamond World Authored First Online Directory for the Gem and Jewelry Industry of India

28 september 2009

In August, Diamond World launched an upgraded system to reach jewelers, diamond and color stone suppliers.

The DiamondWorld.Net Directory, or DW Directory, will provide the ability to identify and reach jewelry and gemstone retailers and suppliers via a single click on http://www.diamondworld.net/Directory.

Alok Kala, publisher of Diamond World, stated: “The thought behind the development of the Online Directory, emphasizes the scale of the opportunity: There are more than 10,000 diamond suppliers, 3,000 colorstone supplier and around 1,000,000 jewelry suppliers in India. Fifteen years back I felt the industry’s need to publish print directories of diamond and color-gemstone suppliers, and now it is being used as the ‘bible for buyers’ who want to know about Indian suppliers. Now to make it more convenient we are bringing it online and with a single click, buyers sitting anywhere in world can make a comprehensive product/service and city-wise search for suppliers. We are not restricting the service to India, but will be adding all other manufacturing centers like Bangkok, Hong Kong, Belgium and Israel soon.”

According to Diamond World, at the heart of the Online Directory lies a large database containing the most complete and accurate list of jewelry and gemstone suppliers ever complied. Multiple data sources were consulted, integrated together and then further enriched through a variety of secondary sources.

This is a free search directory where you can add your business listings, modify and edit as per your convenience. All entries posted are verified and then authorized.

DiamondWorld.Net enables the conducting of this process via a unique customizable online search engine built directly into its website (http://www.diamondworld.net/directory). The visitor can choose from a menu of criteria, such as cities, business classifications and various sub-categories, thus enabling a more specific search for only the specific suppliers/retailers needed.
