The 2nd edition of the Bharat Diamond Week at the Bharat Diamond Bourse (BDB) in Mumbai will be held October 8-10. According to a press release quoted by Diamond World, 250 diamond exhibitors and 1,000 visitors attended the first Bharat Diamond Week in April.
Bharat Diamond Bourse Vice-President Mehul Shah commented: “[…] our aim is to provide maximum exposure for our small and medium-size companies”. BDB President Anoop Mehta said: “The inaugural show was such a big success and demand was so strong from visitors and exhibitors alike that it was clear to us that another show in 2018 was totally justified. We will be holding two shows a year with exhibitors offering a huge variety of polished diamonds in all shapes, sizes and colours […]”. He added that priority will be given to visitors who are members of bourses affiliated to the World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB).
Last week, it was announced that the 2018 World Diamond Congress (WDC), the biannual meeting of the WFDB and the International Diamond Manufacturers Association (IDMA), will take place in Mumbai, India, from October 23 to 25 – immediately following the conclusion of the Bharat Diamond Week.
