(PRESS RELEASE) ANTWERP, BE — The World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB) has announced that the global B2B diamond marketplace, GET-Diamonds.com (GET) is being relaunched, under a licensing agreement with YourDiamonds.com (YD) of Sydney, Australia.
The re-introduction of GET-Diamonds.com is being led by diamond industry veteran, Tim Goodman, founder of YourDiamonds.com a leading developer of technology for the diamond industry, which owns the license to manage the GET platform. Goodman is a 5th generation diamantaire, and former Executive Chair of Sotheby’s Australia.
As its very first action, GET has joined the WFDB to launch the 2024 Global Diamond Industry Survey, commencing today, inviting the industry to have a say in its future. The survey is offered to the GET and WFDB databases including tens of thousands of manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, and can be completed by any member of the trade on the GET-Diamonds.com website.
GET-Diamonds.com is a transparent, data-driven trading platform created “by the industry, for the industry” with a growing inventory of polished natural diamonds and more than 1 million diamonds currently for sale. There are 29,000 approved members from over 100 countries currently enjoying GET-Diamonds’ services, free of charge.
The B2B trading platform makes transactions possible without ‘middlemen’, placing the power in the hands of the traders, saving them both time and money. Suppliers upload their inventory for sale and buyers search the lists and buy directly from the suppliers, offline.
The relaunch of the platform will feature new state-of-the-art technological tools to better serve users. The improved platform makes it easier for suppliers to upload their inventory and for buyers to search for the diamonds they need in an environment of greater transparency.
