Annie Doresca Named CEO of Diamond Council of America
Veteran Jewelry Executive and DEI Advocate to Succeed Terry Chandler, Will Lead DCA While Continuing Role at Jewelers of America

Annie Doresca, chief financial and operating officer of Jewelers of America (JA), has been appointed CEO of the Diamond Council of America (DCA), effective January 1. She will succeed longtime leader Terry Chandler and will continue in her current role at JA while also serving as executive vice president of the DCA until the transition is complete.
The DCA board selected Doresca for her proven leadership, business expertise, and dedication to advancing the organization’s mission. Her dual role aims to strengthen the collaboration between JA and DCA, which became affiliated organizations in recent years.
Doresca brings extensive experience to the position. Since joining JA in 2008, she has helped steer its financial strategy and operations. She is also the founding president of the Black in Jewelry Coalition (BIJC), a leader in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within the jewelry sector.
Beyond her executive roles, Doresca serves on multiple industry boards, including the Jewelers Vigilance Committee (JVC), Jewelers’ Security Alliance (JSA), Jewelers Board of Trade (JBT), and the Women’s Jewelry Association Foundation.

Outgoing CEO Terry Chandler expressed strong support for his successor. “Annie has already made significant contributions to the DCA’s growth,” he said. “Her leadership will undoubtedly elevate the organization and empower countless jewelry professionals through education and opportunity.”
With Doresca at the helm, the DCA is poised to strengthen its role as a vital educational resource in the jewelry industry.

De Beers brings Diamonds and Glamour to London

Insiders suggest a star-studded journey to London might be on the cards. But why London? Beyond its glittering reputation as a global hub for jewellery and fashion, whispers point to something far more dazzling — De Beers is set to host a major showcase in the city.
This year, De Beers Group makes its grand debut at Frieze London, marking a landmark moment where the world of natural diamonds meets the world of art. In collaboration with Frieze Masters, the brand will unveil Voyage Through the Diamond Realm — an immersive experience said to capture the mystery, beauty, and brilliance of natural diamonds like never before.
To bring this vision to life, De Beers has invited India’s leading style and art connoisseurs, including Twinkle Khanna, Ananya Panday, Sara Tendulkar, Karan Johar and many more. Known for their refined taste and appreciation of art and design, these tastemakers are the perfect ambassadors to experience natural diamonds in a whole new light — where every facet tells a story of time, pressure, and perfection.
While details remain under wraps, those close to the brand hint that the experience will be nothing short of transformative — a moment where science, storytelling, and rarity converge to celebrate nature’s most extraordinary creations.
One thing’s certain: when De Beers Group meets Frieze London, the city is bound to shine a little brighter — and perhaps, so will those boarding that flight.
