International Women's Day - 8th of March

In honour of International Women's Day, we want to invite all the women in Antwerp's Diamond, Jewellery & Watch industry to join us for a celebratory lunch on Friday the 8th of March. 

For years our industry has been predominantly male-dominated, with women only gaining membership in 1980.  Yet each of us plays an integral role in it.  As International Women’s Day approaches, it presents the perfect opportunity to acknowledge our contributions.

I’ve heard many stories in my time in the diamond market, but one of my favorites is from a gentleman in the market who described his toughest client as “a short-but-mighty woman who could make any man quake in his boots while inspecting his diamonds.“ He continues to share that 30 years later, she is still the trader he has the most respect for because she was firm but fair, and above all else, held true to her beliefs and values.

While I never got the pleasure of meeting this woman, I have met some incredible women who work in our market. Each of us carries our own stories, goals, accomplishments, and struggles - and it’s in supporting and uplifting one another that we truly thrive.

Together with the Women in Diamonds and the Antwerp World Diamond Centre - an organization filled with inspiring women - we would love it if you would join us for this occasion. 

When: Friday the 8th of March 
Where: AWDC Lounge - Hoveniersstraat 22, 2018 Antwerp
Time: 12:30 - 14:00
