Bye-Bye 2020
As we get ready to welcome 2021, here is a glimpse of the Good and the Bad of 2020.
  • We distanced ourselves...but we communicated virtually.
  • We learned to appreciate the quote "Health is Wealth."
  • While the 'Stay at Home' order applied...mother nature flourished with less pollution.
  • We missed out on having the finest Gala...but we celebrated our first ‘Zala’ (Zoom Gala)
  • Canceling travel plans allowed for dollars in our customers’ pockets to purchase jewelry.
  • The price of Gold went up...so did the value of our Gold Inventory.
  • WFDB met virtually nearly every day...and developed the new Diamond Trading Platform; 'Get-Diamonds'.
  • DCWC President Moshe Salem was elected as Vice-President of the WFDB.

Our enthusiastic Social Committee is disappointed that COVID-19 forced the postponement of our Annual Holiday Party. We are hopeful however, that normality will soon return, and we will once again entertain you all at our bumper event in 2021. As a small gesture of appreciation, we have prepared gift bags to let you know that we care and value YOU as a member.
 
We want to thank Malca-Amit for their generosity in support of the club and more specifically for being the grand sponsor of the Holiday Goodie Bags.
 
As we say Goodbye to 2020, the Newsletter Team thanks our readers for staying connected.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!!

Some Good News and Holiday Cheer
Letter from WFDB President Yoram Dvash
Dear Friends,
As we approach the climax of the 2020 holiday season, it seems that we have some good news to be thankful for. Although we have been through the most challenging year most of us can remember, there are positive signs that may bring us some holiday cheer.

First of all, there are the vaccines. As they are rolled out in the next few weeks and months they will certainly be a game-changer in the fight against the Coronavirus pandemic.

Secondly, the diamond market is gaining momentum. Rough diamond sales, an important indicator, are rising. The latest De Beers and Alrosa sites Read More
GET-Diamonds.com: New and Notable
By Kim Pelletier, CEO
Although it’s been longer than we would like since we’ve been in touch, GET has been incredibly busy - both inside the platform via our members searching and trading activity as well as “outside” to add additional features and continue to enhance GET to attract new members and grow the ONLY platform in the jewelry industry that is “by the industry, for the industry”!

If you are new to GET and don’t know the backstory, GET was launched by the World Federation of Diamond Bourses to provide the industry with a platform that was collaborative in philosophy and run for the benefit of all the members, not a single entity or person. As a leading global organization in the diamond industry, the WFDB established GET in order to grow Read More

Taxpayers will also receive an additional $600 for each child under age 17.
