Luxify a start-up of over three years, continues to connect Asian markets with exemplary diamonds and fine jewellery. "It is a wonderful opportunity for us to introduce Birks' unique Canadian diamonds to our local markets. Asian consumers, particularly Chinese and Indian, will continue to be an important driving force in the diamond industry," says Florian Martigny, Co-Founder of Luxify.com.

"China's appetite for high quality jewellery is increasing. In the year to September 2016, there was a five per cent increase in retail sales of gold, silver and jewellery notching RMB 24.9B (US$3.66B), according to the National Bureau of Statistics of China," he said. "Moreover, Chinese buyers continue to invest in diamonds making the nation the world's second-largest market for diamonds. Sales are expected to double within the next decade, according to Bain & Co, a private equity firm".

"These exquisite diamonds are a savvy asset, allowing buyers to keep an eye on their investment whether they are worn on a finger or kept as an investment. Pink diamonds have increased in value over the past decade," said Martigny.
