The World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB) has expressed strong support for the Luanda Accord, an agreement among major diamond-producing nations and trading hubs to bolster the global promotion of natural diamonds. Under the accord, all signatories will contribute 1% of their annual rough diamond revenue to the Natural Diamond Council’s marketing efforts.

Signed in Luanda, Angola, the accord brings together key industry players, including Botswana, Angola, Namibia, South Africa, Sierra Leone, the DRC, and organizations such as the Antwerp World Diamond Centre, Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), India’s Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), and the African Diamond Producers Association.

The agreement follows the WFDB Presidents’ Meeting in New York, where consensus was reached on the urgent need to unite in support of natural diamonds. Industry leaders such as Botswana President Duma Boko, Angolan Minister Diamantino Azevedo, De Beers CEO Al Cook, and DMCC Executive Chairman Ahmed Bin Sulayem were in attendance.

WFDB President Yoram Dvash commended the initiative and particularly praised signatories DMCC and GJEPC, stating, “I am very gratified to see the mobilization of the global diamond industry to promote natural diamonds. As I said at the Presidents’ Meeting, now is the time to lead with unity to protect the value and legacy of the natural diamond. United, we will remind the world why a natural diamond will always be forever.”

The WFDB also launched its own natural diamond video campaign, encouraging members to amplify the message through social media.

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.
