AWDC : "In global terms, the diamond business today is worth more than $60 billion per annum, and provides a career and livelihood to millions of skilled individuals on all five continents. And the axis around which that business turns is Antwerp, the Belgian city that has enjoyed an unbroken association with the diamond for more than five centuries.

Antwerp is considerably more than just a place where diamonds are bought, sold and manufactured. It is the critical intersection on the world map that facilitates the operation of the entire diamond business. With a financial, technical and intellectual infrastructure that is unrivalled in the industry, Antwerp is the centre from which a multinational industrial and commercial network is coordinated, enabling a process whereby the rough diamonds that are extracted from the earth each year eventually are sold as sparkling showpieces in millions of items of jewellery

The Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC) is an industry-established foundation whose mission is to serve and support the diamond business in Belgium. Headquartered in the heart of Antwerp’s diamond district, its Board of Directors is elected directly by those who define the Antwerp Diamond Community..." more

" Tacy Ltd. operates within a dynamic fast changing environment. The traditionally rather small and secretive diamond community, once concentrated in a few producing and processing countries, has gradually evolved into a fiercely competitive and powerful business, spread-out around the globe. As a high value natural resource, ultimately destined for end-use in luxury-goods consumer market, claims for an ever-larger share in the value chain are made by every part of the pipeline, ranging from producer governments to the retailer. Ambitious governmental aspirations and policies in mining countries, differing corporate strategies among large and small producers, contradicting interests of traditional versus low-labor cost manufacturing centers, vastly changing structural shifts in both processing and marketing areas, increasing reliance on banking and suppliers’ financing, changing production technologies and educated discerning consumerism, all profoundly influence the business of every actor involved in the diamond pipeline. ...
