It's "Fan-Brand-Tastic" There will possibly never be a consensus as to what a
brand is in the diamond industry, as there are so
many different dimensions to the subject. It’s all about differentiation
and communicating the marketing message; however, the business is still
in the early stages of branding and that's
what makes it such a fascinating subject. In the next few months,
we'll be taking a look at various brands and what they are all about on my new
online magazine about natural diamonds.

But in order to do this I need your input – so,
please let me know if your retail store has its own favorites,
or if you are the patent holder of a proprietary cut and you are
looking for a partner or a distribution network, or if you just
want to let consumers and retailers know about your branded diamond cut.

A Diamond in the Rough
After I read the first article in April, I contacted Charl Beukes in South Africa to learn more about the children. After that, I asked a few of my friends and colleagues at the Diamond Exchange in Ramat Gan, Israel, if they would support me in what I was doing and help out with keeping the promises made to the youngsters. This developed very quickly into bringing in others from Antwerp, Mumbai, New York, Boston, Los Angeles, South Africa, Toronto, and Thailand including jewelry designers and diamantaires; the CEO of one of the top gemological labs; a retired DTC executive whose wife has her own project in Bangladesh; sightholders; lawyers; a sustainable development consultant; journalists; and a diamond social entrepreneur who is planning a fair trade diamond project (mine-to-consumer) headquartered in Sierra Leone with a retired Boeing executive. An internet site will be launched next week before the World Diamond Congress.
