Anchored by the Dubai Diamond Exchange (DDE), the world’s largest facility for precious stone tenders, DMCC offers an unparalleled environment for the evaluation and trade of emeralds, rubies and other rare gemstones. The DDE’s unique white crystal windows ensure accurate colour assessment, a critical feature for buyers and traders.
