RAPAPORT... HRD Antwerp will become the first grading laboratory
to offer diamond reports in two languages, the company said as Antwerp
officials participated in a trade mission to Korea.
The lab will launch bilingual reports in English and Korean,
as well as in English and Chinese, from February 1 next year. HRD said it will offer the
reports in additional foreign languages over the course of 2017.
Diamond reports already exist in Chinese, but this is the
first time that one report will be offered in two languages anywhere in the
world, HRD claimed.
The trade mission to Seoul this week is being attended by
Bart De Wever, the mayor of Antwerp, and representatives from the
Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC). The visit, which aims to promoted the Antwerp diamond trade in the region, features networking events and the
signing of a memorandum of understanding with the Korea Jeweller Confederation
Association to explore collaboration opportunities.
“The South Korean market represents great opportunities and
our presence here today is just a first step in what will undoubtedly become a
mutually beneficial relationship,” said Ari Epstein, who serves both as chaiman of HRD and CEO of the AWDC (pictured).
As part of the program, HRD has donated to the Korean
industry an M-Screen+ device for screening round polished diamonds between 0.005
carats and 0.10 carats.
