The Israeli Diamond Industry is mounting a bigger than ever participation this year at the JCK Show – Las Vegas. The Israel Diamond Pavilion, hosted by the Israel Diamond Institute Group of Companies (IDI) will cover the largest surface ever, and will feature 31 exhibitors, with an additional 23 Israeli companies exhibiting throughout the show.

Since the United States is Israel’s leading market for polished diamonds, the Israeli industry views the JCK Show with special interest. The US accounts for about 40 percent of Israel’s net polished exports, which stood at $5.8 billion in 2010.
The Israel Diamond Pavilion will be located in the Diamond Plaza Booths B3718-B3759 and B3783-B3789. IDI will be represented at stand B3744 within the pavilion. A mini-site with a full list of Israeli exhibitors can be accessed at www.israelidiamond.co.il
For the first time in Las Vegas, IDI will be raffling off among buyers a free round-trip ticket to Israel. This is in keeping with IDI’s new marketing campaign “Welcome to Israel”, which was launched at BaselWorld. The campaign seeks to emphasize the advantages of doing business with Israel – at trade shows, online, or in buying visits to the bourse in Ramat Gan.
The Israeli Diamond Industry is experiencing a dramatic recovery, with growth of about 50 percent in 2010. In the first quarter of 2011 Israel’s net polished diamond exports jumped 46 percent. During the same period polished diamond imports into the U.S. rose by 22 percent over the first quarter of 2010.
