The gathering served as a pivotal roundtable where industry players, retailers, and trade experts discussed how to communicate the true emotional and enduring value of natural diamonds in a market increasingly shaped by innovation and shifting consumer priorities. According to this Dubai Jewellery News report, the session encouraged open dialogue on how to strengthen the credibility of natural diamonds amid growing consumer interest in ethical sourcing, sustainability, and product authenticity.

Distinguishing Natural and Lab-Grown Diamonds

Participants emphasized the importance of educating consumers about the differences between natural and lab-grown diamonds. With lab-grown stones becoming more accessible, the consensus was that both segments can coexist, provided that clarity, honesty, and consumer awareness remain the foundation of all communication. Experts highlighted that knowledge remains the cornerstone of trust, and clear distinctions between both markets will ensure the long-term health of the diamond industry.

Moderated by Richa Singh, Managing Director of NDC India & Middle East, the session featured insights from prominent figures including Tawhid Abdullah of Jawhara Jewellery and Chairman of DJG, K.P. Abdul Salam of Malabar Group, Anuraag Sinha of Liali Jewellery, Chandu Siroya of Siroya Jewellers, and Amit Dhamani of the Dhamani Group. Each speaker shared perspectives on how Dubai can continue to lead as a hub for transparent trade practices and consumer confidence.

Building Consumer Confidence and Industry Unity

Ahmad Ali Moosa, Director of the Consumer Protection Department at the Dubai Corporation for Consumer Protection and Fair Trade, joined as a special guest, offering a government perspective on creating a more transparent and consumer-focused jewellery ecosystem. He emphasized that strong regulatory frameworks and open communication channels are vital to maintaining Dubai’s position as a global leader in fair and trusted trade.

Richa Singh expressed optimism, noting that Dubai was the first market to embrace the Diamond Dialogue initiative and that the collaboration between government agencies, retailers, and the NDC will help shape a more informed, transparent, and resilient diamond future. “The collective willingness to engage in honest conversations reflects a shared commitment to elevate the global standard of integrity within the industry,” Singh said.

Dubai’s Ongoing Leadership in the Global Jewellery Scene

Echoing her sentiments, Tawhid Abdullah affirmed Dubai’s position as a global jewellery powerhouse, where innovation, tradition, and integrity merge. “Our market thrives on trust and vision. This initiative strengthens our role as a beacon of excellence and transparency,” he remarked.

As the Diamond Dialogue marks its successful debut, it sets the stage for continued collaboration aimed at building lasting consumer trust. Through education, transparency, and responsible leadership, Dubai’s diamond industry is reaffirming its position as a global benchmark for ethical excellence and innovation. This milestone event signifies the dawn of a new chapter where authenticity and knowledge define the sparkle of every diamond.
