On December 20 2025, the World Diamond Heritage Board (WDHB) announced the official opening of the World Diamond Day Registry, marking a key milestone in establishing World Diamond Day as a shared global moment for the natural diamond industry.
World Diamond Day is not a marketing campaign. It is one single day, celebrated worldwide, when trade organisations, brands, dealers, designers, laboratories, trade media and jewellers come together to honour natural diamonds, the ultimate symbol of love, trust, heritage and emotional connection.
Since the registry quietly opened, registrations have been received from 18 countries, including strong early engagement from Botswana, representing a combined reach of more than 595,000 followers, with one third of participants coming from the diamond trade. World Diamond Day will already be celebrated on April 8 in South Africa, Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the United States, Singapore, India, the United Arab Emirates, Israel, the United Kingdom, France, Greece, Belgium, Slovakia, Serbia, Poland and Switzerland.
“World Diamond Day is about unity, not promotion,” said Nicolas Chrétien, Founding Member of the World Diamond Heritage Board. “It creates a single moment in the year when the entire industry speaks with one voice to the world, celebrating the cultural, emotional, and enduring value of natural diamonds.”
“Supporting World Diamond Day is existential and a unique opportunity. It is a test of whether the diamond industry can act collectively for itself, for its legacy, and for future generations. Because together, our voice is stronger than anything else. For just one day a year. Is it too much to ask?”
By joining the official World Diamond Day Registry, participants will:
- Gain access to exclusive digital materials to celebrate natural diamonds with their communities
- Become part of a unified global narrative highlighting the heritage, beauty, and positive impact of natural diamonds
