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.”

Ready to Relocate? Wilkerson Makes Your Move Seamless

When Brockhaus Jewelry decided to leave their longtime West Main Street storefront for a standalone building elsewhere in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman faced a familiar challenge: how to efficiently reduce inventory before the big move. Their solution? Partnering with liquidation specialists Wilkerson for a second time. "We'd already experienced Wilkerson's professionalism during a previous sale," Shipman recalls. "But their approach to our relocation event truly impressed us. They strategically prioritized our existing pieces while tactfully introducing complementary merchandise as inventory levels decreased." The carefully orchestrated sale didn't just meet targets—it shattered them. Asked if they'd endorse Wilkerson to industry colleagues planning similar transitions—whether relocating, retiring, or refreshing their space—both partners were emphatic in their approval. "The entire process was remarkably straightforward," Shipman notes. "Wilkerson delivered a well-structured program, paired us with a knowledgeable advisor, and managed every detail flawlessly from concept to completion."
