The Israeli Diamond Exchange, holds the title of the world’s largest diamond exchange, and we at Tours4U, boast of being the only company that provides tours of this hidden part of the Israeli economy.
The high stakes and sensitive security of the Diamond Exchange means that all guests of the exchange provide passport identification, fingerprints and photos to be used in facial recognition.
The tour guides you through the birth of a polished diamond, by witnessing first hand rough diamonds being polished into the finest of gemstones, in one of Israel’s diamond cutting factories. We see diamond cutters who have been cutting and polishing diamonds for over 50 years, and are of the best cutters worldwide, busy creating their beloved work.
The tour then takes you through to the highly exclusive exchange trading floor. We comprehensively teach you all the particulars of the IDE. We witness the members of the exchange in animated negotiations, buying and trading Israeli diamonds that will then be sent and sold worldwide.
The last stop of the tour is a meeting with a master diamantaire, Mr. Hanan Savranksy. Hanan is a third-generation gemologist, and an exclusive member of the exchange, whose creations are not only ingeniously designed but are of the highest quality and style.
The cutting of the diamond, the jewelry designs and stone settings are done exclusively by Hanan, making Savransky Private Jeweler’s one of the only jewelry designers whose entire pieces are created, designed and crafted by one person alone.
