Diamdel Dubai, which was first established in August, is now fully operational, according to a recent announcement by De Beers, Rapaport reported. Diamdel Dubai provides area businesses with the opportunity to purchase rough diamonds via online auctions.
Rhyzard Bilimoria, Diamdel’s auction sales manager based in Dubai, said, ''Since September 2011 we have witnessed a significant amount of new registrations from UAE and Indian based diamond companies to view goods and participate at our Diamdel Days E-Auctions.
''Our brand new team in Dubai has welcomed a significant amount of customers to our offices in the Almas Tower and to be already making regular sales to a good number of those customers is very encouraging. Businesses in the region are responding to the opportunities on offer with Diamdel,'' Bilimoria said.
Diamdel's auctions offer rough diamonds across the full range, in specific assortments. Buyers are presented with an opportunity to determine both the composition and volume of their supply in regular single and multi-unit auctions.
