As the source of 80–90% of the world’s diamonds, the Antwerp Diamond Exchange is an ideal platform for diamond purchasing. LUMIA, serving as a trusted channel for Chinese clients, is dedicated to providing professional services to support your selection.
Becoming a member of the Diamond Exchange is a mark of professional competence. To apply for membership in the Antwerp Diamond Exchange, traders must not only hold relevant academic credentials and certifications but also provide financial guarantees and letters of recommendation from industry peers—including endorsements from seven major diamond trading firms affirming the founder’s expertise and integrity. Furthermore, applicants must have a solid trading history and no negative evaluations from other exchange members.
As a member of the exchange, any occurrence of payment default, sale of counterfeit goods, or undisclosed synthetic diamonds results in a lifetime ban from trading in any exchange under the World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB). In other words, compromising integrity for short-term gain leads to permanent expulsion from the industry.
As a traditional industry in Antwerp, the diamond sector has long been dominated by Jewish and Indian traders. For a Chinese entrepreneur to gain access to the local exchange, it takes not only solid professional knowledge but also upright character and outstanding business acumen.
Since its founding over three years ago, LUMIA has established cooperative relationships with exchange members from diverse cultural backgrounds. With a strong reputation in the industry, the company has secured wide access to diamond sources for its clients. Members of the exchange share inventory through an internal network platform—meaning the stock of one member company is accessible to all other members.
