The opening as it read in 2010

Lili Diamonds was formed by Siman-Tov brothers in 1981 and has been a Diamond Trading Company Sightholder from 1995–2008 and has been identified as a world leader in the manufacturing of straight edged diamonds, and as an innovator of special cuts and globally registered patented cuts. Along with their unique patent shapes, Lili Diamonds' core business also focuses on the more traditional shapes. A few years ago they launched a new strategic plan which included widening their business into the jewellery (under the Lili Jewelry brand) and timepieces (under the Lili Watches brand) markets. The company currently has subsidiaries in New York and Hong Kong with its head office located in Israel. Lili Diamonds owns two polishing workshops located in Israel, employing over 100 craftsmen. Lately the company signed several contracts with leading companies in the luxury business, some of them can already be found in the press.1
