The Diamond Dream
The diamond business is not about diamonds.
When a man gives a woman a diamondhe is not just giving her a diamond.
The retail diamond business is about making people feel good.
![Page 20: Israel Rough Diamond Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd69b8c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Diamond Dream
What about the diamond dream of the woman in Sierra Leone ?
. Is our dream her nightmare?
How do diamonds benefit artasinal diggers?

22
Ethical Issues
Artisanal Diggers– 1.5 million in West Africa– 7.5 million live off diamonds– 70% unemployment– 28% of children die before age 5
You are responsible for what you buy
And responsible for what you don’t buy

Kimberley Process
The Kimberley Process (KP) Works to Eliminate Conflict Diamonds
KP Does not deal with development Issues

Corporate Responsibility
Corporate Responsibility is an obligation that extends beyond law.
Corporate Responsibility extends beyond the Kimberley Process.

Development Issues
Why did G-d give diamonds to the poorest people in the world and make them desired by richest people in the world.
What is the role of the diamond industry?

Fair Trade Jewelry
Fair Trade Jewelry is sustainable because socially conscious consumers will spend more for diamonds and jewelry that makes the world a better place.
Fair Trade Jewelry is not charity it is sustainable economic activity.

Take Away
Our diamondsare only as good as we are.

The Tough Question
Who needs Israel?No mines.No consumers.
How do we add value to diamonds?
![Page 31: Israel Rough Diamond Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd69b8c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Distribution
Non-mining profit in the diamond business comes from:– finding the right buyer– for the right diamond– at the right time– at the right price (added value)
Free, fair, open, competitive markets
![Page 32: Israel Rough Diamond Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd69b8c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Distribution
Governments can and should create an enabling environment for beneficiation. But they cannot legislate development and sustainable job creation which can only be done by the private sector. in a free market.
![Page 33: Israel Rough Diamond Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd69b8c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Distribution
Governments must be extremely careful not to use their regulatory power to eliminate the competitive distribution of diamonds or they will destroy their diamond business
There must be room for everyone and every idea in a free market.
![Page 34: Israel Rough Diamond Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd69b8c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Distribution
All competition is legitimate & good.– Companies should be able to sell their
diamonds any way they want as long as they do not dominate the market
– Selective distribution can and should compete with tenders or any other distribution system
![Page 35: Israel Rough Diamond Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd69b8c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Distribution
If adding value through downstream marketing initiatives is a good idea then it should not have to be enforced by selective restrictive distribution.
![Page 36: Israel Rough Diamond Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd69b8c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Beneficiation
With all due respect to Africa why shouldn’t buying countries also demand their fair share of beneficiation?
Over-regulating diamond distribution can be a double edged sword.
![Page 37: Israel Rough Diamond Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd69b8c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Take Away
Free Fair Competitive Markets is the only way forward.
Governments should create an enabling environment and encourage but not enforce beneficiation over the long term.
![Page 38: Israel Rough Diamond Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd69b8c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Markets
Chief Linchwe II – Head of the Bakgatla tribe, one of the founders of Botswana
“As children we learned the meaning of life from the elders of the village as we sat in the circle of the fire.”

Markets
“My grandmother liked to tell the story of two men. One was blind and one could not walk. They were working together, you see. The blind man carried the crippled man on his back. One had the feet; the other had the eyes.”
![Page 40: Israel Rough Diamond Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd69b8c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
Markets
“One day, they met a lion. The blind man just through the crippled man away and ran. The crippled one was killed by the lion because he couldn’t run; the blind one was killed because he couldn’t see.”
![Page 41: Israel Rough Diamond Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd69b8c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Markets
“As people, you must live together, especially in an unhappy situation. This is the main purpose of the African in traditional life: to live with his community, to protect others. There are lions everywhere, you know.”
Chief Linchwe II – a Founder of Botswana
![Page 42: Israel Rough Diamond Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd69b8c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
Conclusion
The greater the lion the greater the need to cooperate.
Everyone in the diamond industry is dependent on everyone else.
Everyone can and should add value in their own way.
