GERALD ROTHSCHILD - A TRIBUTE

For as long as I have been in the diamond industry, Gerald Rothschild has been a name and personality to be reckoned with. A broker in the true sense of the word, always understanding that when common aims can be identified and agreed, cultural, linguistic and business differences can be resolved through goodwill and respectful, effective communication.

His own career path was certainly not as straight forward as he would have liked and expected, but his personal commitment to the industry and his clients remained consistent and unquestionable throughout his life.

It is in the nature of being a broker that relationships are subtle and discreet and for this reason do not often receive the recognition and profile that others in the industry enjoy. Gerald’s own contribution to the diamond industry over a long period of time has been significant and he will be remembered warmly by those clients and friends whose success he played no small part in.

We extend our most sincere sympathy to his widow Alison and his sons.
