RAPAPORT...  Chopard sent the following warning to RapNet members and the trade. It follows a similar warning from Miami bourse president David Rosenberg (who discusses the issue during our weekly broadcast.)


In the past few weeks a person has been requesting diamonds in the trade under the name “Mr. Jean-Pierre Balmain” and on behalf of a “Chopard Diamond Division."

There is no such named department or division at CHOPARD (Chopard Group worldwide, including its headquarters Chopard et Cie S.A. in Geneva, Switzerland) and no “Mr. Jean-Pierre Balmain" is working for or on behalf of CHOPARD.

Please, be aware that CHOPARD is not responsible for any of this person’s acts and recommends you use caution.
