Natural Diamond Council Rebrands as The Diamond Collective
The Natural Diamond Council has changed its public name to The Diamond Collective.

The organization wants more people to feel interested in natural diamonds.
It plans to do this by connecting diamonds with culture and explaining their value clearly.
CEO Amber Pepper helped create the new plan after speaking with businesses, designers and consumers.
The group also wants diamond companies to work together more closely.
A new Diamond Desire Index will measure how people in three countries feel about natural diamonds.
The group says more details and leadership appointments will be announced later.
The Natural Diamond Council will use The Diamond Collective as its public-facing name in most markets.
The organization said the rebrand supports a consumer-first, evidence-led and collaborative global strategy.
