In commemoration of International Women’s Day, a special invitation is extended to all women in Antwerp’s Diamond, Jewellery & Watch industry to partake in a celebratory luncheon on Friday, March 8th.
Despite being historically male-dominated, with women gaining membership only in 1980, the industry recognizes the indispensable role played by women within its ranks. As the global event honoring women’s achievements approaches, it serves as an opportune moment to acknowledge and celebrate their contributions.
Reflecting on the industry’s evolution, one poignant anecdote shared was that of a seasoned trader describing his toughest client as a “short-but-mighty woman who could make any man quake in his boots while inspecting his diamonds.” Even after three decades, she remains a figure of utmost respect for her unwavering principles and fairness in dealings.
Although many may not have had the chance to meet this remarkable woman, there’s no shortage of inspiring stories among the women who grace the diamond market. Each woman brings with her a unique narrative of perseverance, accomplishments, and aspirations. It is through mutual support and empowerment that they continue to flourish.
In collaboration with Women in Diamonds and the Antwerp World Diamond Centre, an organization renowned for its inspiring female leaders, the luncheon aims to foster camaraderie and celebrate the achievements of women in the industry.
