The Get Diamonds platform was launched this spring in response to industry blowback against Martin Rapaport’s diamond price list, which on March 20 listed tremendous drops in diamond prices. Rapaport said the list reflected market realities but the trade revolted and began searching for a new independent third-party trading platform. WFDB took the lead in acquiring and developing one, with the goal of it being a non-profit industry-run platform, not a private for-profit enterprise. Within five weeks, the platform established itself as the industry’s leading platform, said Yoram Dvash, WFDB acting president in a May interview.
