6th Antwerp Diamond Trade Fair planned for next year

The sixth edition of the Antwerp Diamond Trade Fair (ADTF), an event solely dedicated to loose diamond business, is planned to be held from February 1-3, 2015. The event is a by-invitation-only platform conducted on an international scope.

The ADTF's dates are in sync with those of other prestigious jewellery industry events in the region and thus enable visitors to the ADTF to plan their itineraries effectively. The ADTF, a joint initiative of the Antwerp Diamond Bourse, the Diamond Club of Antwerp and the Antwerp Diamond Kring exchanges, is held on the bourses' diamond trading floors which are converted into three exhibition zones during the event. Around 90 of Antwerp's leading diamond manufacturing and trading firms are expected to participate.

"Since its inception in 2010, the Antwerp Diamond Trade Fair has evolved into a unique opportunity for jewellery manufacturers, designers and retailers to source their diamonds in the world's diamond capital," David Pienica, a founding member of the ADTF organizing committee, stated. Mentioning the significant place the event holds in the itinerary of jewellers and downstream diamond buyers, to re-stock for the new year, Pienica added that many first-time visitors are expected to attend next year. "A lot of the world's leading jewellery manufacturers, designers and retailers have never set foot in Antwerp, let alone discovered the almost unlimited supply and choice of diamonds offered by Antwerp's diamond business community. The ADTF is a perfect opportunity for visitor to meet with us," Pienica concluded.
