De Beers blog by Jonathan Kendall: "They say that confidence is the key to success, and that preparation is the key to confidence. And from my years as President of De Beers Group’s International Institute of Diamond Grading & Research (IIDGR), I can safely say that this is certainly true of the diamond sector. Confidence is an increasingly vital component of success at all stages of the diamond value chain, and you can’t provide that confidence unless you have a wealth of knowledge and hard work behind you. That’s why De Beers Group established IIDGR, and why we’ve seen such exciting growth since launch – it’s all about confidence."
