Nissim Zuaretz, president of the Israel Diamond Manufacturers Association (IsDMA) and owner of DN Diamonds, which has been honored as “Outstanding Exporter” three times in the past decade, has been elected president of the Israel Diamond Exchange (IDE). The announcement was made following a meeting of the bourse's General Assembly.
“I am proud and excited to assume the role of President of the Israel Diamond Exchange at such a significant and crucial time. It is a true mission to take the reins, lead the IDE forward, and influence the future of the diamond industry in Israel.”
Nissim Zuaretz, 50, said he has dedicated 28 years of his life to the precious diamond industry. “I commit to continue working for its benefit,” he noted. - This is undoubtedly a period full of challenges for the country and the diamond industry in particular, which is in severe crisis and requires rehabilitation and dedicated plans to grow it back. I believe that with innovation, creativity, proper work, and complete transparency, we will succeed in setting a new path and ensuring the profession’s future for the younger generation. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the esteemed IDE members who supported and encouraged my entry into the role of President.”
IDI chairman Arnon Juwal believes that Zuaretz, who has been elected as the new head of the diamond bourse, is the right person to lead the IDE through this challenging period. “With Nissim’s experience and knowledge, and in cooperation with all the bodies in the industry, I am confident we will jointly lead the Israeli diamond industry to better days and a brighter future,” he said.
