Israel Diamond Exchange quits WFDB amid tariff dispute
The Israel Diamond Exchange (IDE) has suspended its membership in the World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB), citing dissatisfaction with the organisation’s conduct during the ongoing US import tariff crisis, Rapaport News reported.
In a letter to WFDB Secretary-General Rony Unterman on 8th April, the IDE board said the decision followed unanswered requests for information and actions that had harmed Israel’s diamond trade. IDE President Nissim Zuaretz told Rapaport the move was triggered by WFDB President Yoram Dvash’s comments in Calcalist, where he criticised country-specific lobbying and promoted a global strategy for tariff exemptions.
Zuaretz accused Dvash of trying to take credit for advocacy led by the World Diamond Council (WDC), potentially jeopardising Israel’s own efforts. Dvash denied the claims, telling Rapaport they were “untrue and frankly absurd,” and emphasised the WFDB’s ongoing collaboration with the WDC.
Zuaretz said the IDE would shift focus to partnerships with the WDC and the International Diamond Manufacturers Association (IDMA), while also saving over $29,000 in annual fees. Dvash described IDE’s withdrawal as “rash,” warning it could weaken global unity at a critical time for the industry.
Some love stories only grow stronger with time. Love, From Hubby is a ritual in which a husband celebrates the years shared with his wife by gifting her a natural diamond solitaire, a promise that the story is still being written. The Real Love Solitaire Collection from De Beers is made for this “Second Season of Love.” Each ring features a one-carat centre solitaire, a natural diamond that is rare and each reflects Carat, Cut, Colour and Clarity, offering refined luxury and exceptional fire. Set in an array of precious metals and custom finishes, every design carries its own story of enduring commitment. Rose gold hues add romance to architectural white gold silhouettes, blending classic heritage with a modern eye. Here is a closer look at the key design features that make these four pieces stand out.
Classic Rose Gold Round
Brilliant Solitaire Ring Some designs just feel right from the first glance, and this is one of them. A classic solitaire ring, the one carat round brilliant natural diamond sits alone at the centre, cradled by four slim prongs in 18k rose gold. The warm tones of the metal soften all that sparkle and gives it a gentle romantic glow. The band narrows slightly toward the base, making it comfortable to wear it all day. Whether you choose to wear it every morning or save it for the proposal, it suits every moment.
Lotus Diamond Solitaire Ring Picture a lotus bud awakening to its full beauty. This is exactly the inspiration behind the frame of this brilliant solitaire with petal motifs in white gold. Micro pave set diamond trace the contours of the floral petals along the shoulders, creating an intricate halo-like shimmer that catches the light from every angle. The architectural artistry around the central real diamond is both unique and delicate, giving the ring a sense of movement while keeping the focus firmly on the centre diamond.
Swirl Solitaire Diamond Ring Movement is the whole point with this Swirl Solitaire diamond ring. Designed to catch the light from every angle and frame of the classic diamond, the graceful arcs of white gold studded with delicate pave diamonds wrap seamlessly around the centre, creating a captivating, continuous swirl. The flowing curves enhance the brilliance of the central diamond, resulting in a modern statement piece that feels both powerful and undeniably graceful.
Two Tone Solitaire Ring This one makes a play on your senses with its subtle, yet sophisticated twist on a classic solitaire design. The outside is cool and polished, but inside the band sits a lining of warm rose gold, while a one carat round brilliant real diamond rests above it in a four-prong setting. The precision cut and color grade of the center diamond radiate timeless sophistication, perfect for modern romance with its combination of elegance and an intimacy that comes from a hidden detail known only to the two of you.
Natural diamonds aren’t saved for big occasions anymore, they have become an essential part of modern everyday style. The De Beers Love, From Hubby Real Love Solitaire Collection puts the centre diamond first, celebrating the exceptional brilliance that each one brings with it. From clean minimal lines to romantic floral details and curves with some energy, the collection offers a solitaire for every expression of individuality. At the end of the day, the right ring is the one that feels like your story one that marks a special moment or simply adds a little sparkle to an ordinary day.
