Basically, in the industry, this has
always been thought of as a privileged select group of diamantaires who have
the opportunity of buying directly at the source, therefore receiving a steady
supply of rough for their factories.
Today, there are approximately 120 in number - best described as an eclectic
group of businessmen as there are no women included in the group - the
majority of whom are from the important diamond cutting centers worldwide.
Quite a number of "sons of" have continued the tradition taking over
from their fathers, and a number of new sightholders have been added in recent
years, including those specifically in the fancies category of rough. |
