Launched in 2016, the project aims to facilitate the growth and transformation of the diamond cutting and polishing industry in South Africa, with a holistic approach that seeks to optimise interventions in all aspects of the diamond pipeline.‘Living in Newcastle in KwaZulu-Natal, I’d always assumed that I would have a future in the textile industry. My world was turned upside down when, as a jobseeker, I was continuously unsuccessful in finding employment in my desired field.
“My mind-set to succeed motivated me to accumulate my savings throughout my years working in the factory until, eventually, I had enough to buy my first stone from a subsidiary of De Beers. My subsequent relationship with the dealer grew to a point where they trusted me enough to supply me with rough diamonds on credit. These were the gems I needed to take the next step in my diamond journey.
“My visit to the dealer changed my life. Over the years, he became my mentor and my very good friend. At our first meeting, we came to an agreement that I would sell some of his stones for a small profit while learning about the nuances of the diamond trade. Initially, it was just a hobby, but, when my children had grown up, I decided to turn it into a career.
