Following Israel’s historic normalization agreements with the UAE, Israel-based diamond tech company Sarine has announced that it is opening a rough diamond scanning centre in Dubai.
The center will be operated by diamond service provider Trigem DMCC under license from Galatea, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sarine. According to IDEX Online, both sides will split the per carat service fees.
According to Sarine, “Dubai is now likely to emerge as the world’s top trading hub for rough diamonds, second to none”. David Zabinsky, CEO of Trigem DMCC, commented: “UAE-based diamond dealers and tender houses will finally have access to Sarine’s Galaxy rough diamond scanning, the world’s most innovative and impactful diamond technology. “We are honoured to partner with Sarine in order to bring the pride of Israel’s diamond sector to the Emirates”.
