President's note
– President, Diamond Dealers Club of Australia (DDCA)
– Founder Young Diamantaires
– Executive Council Member World Federation of Diamond Bourses
The Diamond Dealers Club of Australia is part of a worldwide entity, The World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB). This parent organisation consists of 29 diamond clubs and/or bourses which exist around the world. There are approximately 30,000 members worldwide and I can confidently state that 95% of all the polished diamonds in the world today passes through the hands of one of its members.
Although we perceive that through technology, we are all well connected, the truth is far from that. The demands of business today, and the speed at which one needs to execute, limits the time we have to connect with colleagues to keep abreast of the latest changes, trends and commercial obligations.
The Diamond Dealers Club of Australia provides its members with the “missing link” – a platform to communicate with colleagues around Australia whose core businesses revolve around the diamond industry.
To the consumer it is a sign of confidence they are dealing with professionals who are tapped into the worldwide diamond community and apply relevant changes in a manner appropriate to the Australian environment.
If you are interested in joining this organisation, please reach out in the enquiry ‘Join Us’ tab. If you are a member the public or a consumer who wants to know more about diamonds, and the various initiatives the industry is taking to ensure provenance and confidence when purchasing a diamond, go to the appropriate tabs above which will provide links for you to understand more about our wonderful trade.
