IDE to Hold Special Sales Event in New York with DDC

(PRESS RELEASE) RAMAT GAN, ISRAEL — The Israel Diamond Exchange (IDE) has announced that it will hold a special sales event in New York, in collaboration with the New York Diamond Dealers Club, under the headline STAND WITH ISRAEL. The event will be held from November 27 – 30, 2023, on the new trading floor of the DDC.

Due to the war with Gaza, the Israeli economy has slowed considerably, and the diamond exchange has seen a significant drop in activity. IDE says that the special sales event is intended to boost the local diamond industry, and to enable diamond traders from throughout the U.S. to show their support for the Israeli industry.

The organizers are also launching a marketing campaign in New York and across the U.S. to invite diamond buyers to attend the event and to stock up on goods for the holiday period.

IDE President Boaz Moldawsky said, “The special sales event is intended to strengthen ties between Israeli and American diamantaires and to create business opportunities during this very difficult period. We hope to see a huge turnout of diamantaires who “Stand with Israel” at this challenging time. In the past we have held Israeli Diamond Weeks at the DDC which were always successful, but in light of the special circumstances this event will be especially meaningful.”

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
