WFDB launched Get-Diamonds in April 2020, with the motto “By the industry, For the industry.”
Profits generated from the site will be invested in projects that benefit the industry, like generic diamond marketing.
It currently lists more than 1.6 million diamonds from 4,600 vendors, with a total value of over $6.6 billion.
In May 2021, Get-Diamonds signed a new long-term agreement with high-tech company Lucy Platforms.
The company also just announced it will launch online tenders for polished diamonds on its platform, managed by the industry experts at Hennig.
Using AI technology, the process starts with the selection of the most in-demand, competitively priced polished diamonds on the Get-Diamonds platform.
Suppliers will then be able to approve the selected diamonds up to five days prior to the event. The tender catalog will be released 24 hours prior to the tender opening; all items inside will be available for bidding once the tender begins.
When the event ends, a diamond is sold if a bid matches or exceeds the reserve price set by the supplier. If bids are lower than the reserve, the supplier can choose to accept or decline the offer.
