Dear friends,
We learned with a heavy heart about the passing of Vladimir Ivanovich Malakhov, whom we knew well from his work as the Editor-in-Chief of the Rough&Polished agency.
Vladimir Ivanovich will forever be remembered by us as one of the best professionals in his field, a brilliant expert on the diamond market, who enjoyed great prestige among everyone who knew him. Under his leadership, Rough&Polished has become one of the key industry media - a source of up-to-date information and a platform where various participants of the diamond market from all over the world can exchange their views and expertise.
He has made an invaluable contribution to the coverage of major events in our industry in particular and to diamond industry journalism in general. We express our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and the entire Rough&Polished team for this heavy loss. Please accept our sincere condolences.
Sincerely,
