JNA January/February 2023 | 35 JWA DUBAI 2023 colour combinations that aid designers and manufacturers in preparing their jewellery collections. Kobi’s penchant for ingenuity was put to the test during Covid-19. He commented, “The pandemic brought with it unique challenges and the lack of shows and travel disruptions affected one’s ability to source or sell gemstones.” Faced with lockdowns and restrictions, Kobi implemented a policy to constantly communicate with customers. From his home office, he was able to continuously support his clients through Zoom meetings and social media interaction. Together with his partners, Kobi also unveiled a new certificate by GWLab – Gemewizard’s gemmological laboratory established in 2018 – using Gemewizard technology to certify gemstones, fancy colour diamonds and finished jewellery offered through Catawiki, a leading online auction platform for buying and selling special items and collectibles. Kobi is also a member of the International Colored Gemstone Association (ICA) where he is among ICA’s board of directors and head of the “Eyes on The Future” committee. According to Kobi, the year 2023 will remain challenging due to global economic instability coupled with tighter gemstone supply and lack ofmanpower in themanufacturing sector. Advanced Quality however will continue to expand its reach worldwide and promote the use of the Gemewizard technology. Kobi has been named Young Entrepreneur of the Year at JWA Dubai Special Edition 2023 as an acknowledgment of his unrelenting commitment to further raise the bar for coloured gem trading and grading. “I am honoured to receive this award and flattered by the recognition of my hard work,” remarked Kobi. “We lost important people in our trade in 2022 who helped build the business that we are in. I recognise and thank them from the bottom of my heart. I placed a great deal of effort in promoting gemstones because of my passion for natural colours. We have a wonderful trade, amazing people, and interesting stories that must be told and documented for the years to come. This is also something I would like to achieve through ICA.” 作为彩色宝石行业年轻先锋群体的一员，Kob i Sevdermish(DG，宝石学文凭)，Advanced Quality ACC Ltd总裁，多年来在宝石领域取得了非凡的 成就 作。 为一家从矿山到市场的企业， Advanced Quality是由 Kobi的父亲Menahem于2001年创立的。它在全球运作，迅 速成为宝石行业的一支强大力量——在非洲和其他国家采 购毛坯，并在自己曼谷的工厂生产宝石。 在过去的20年里，Kobi一直是Advanced Quality的掌舵 人，在保护公司传统的同时，推出了各种旨在实现现代化运 营的举措。 Kobi通过经常访问曼谷，在那里完成了美国宝石研究院 泰国分校的学习，积累了彩色宝石专业知识。他还在其公司 的宝石加工厂接受了广泛的培训，学习切割和抛光技术，以 及设 除施 了管 他理 的。 领导能力外，他还具有采购顶级宝石原石的天 赋，并根据当前的珠宝趋势，将其组合成套。 Kobi在Instagram 上也很活跃，他持续发布关于高档切工宝石的内容。 创意头脑 K o b i，像他的父亲一样，是创新者。M e n a h em是 “Gemewizard”背后的创意力量，这是一个数字颜色交流工 具，以及彩色宝石和钻石的分级和交易系统。该系统是一个 为期12年的研究项目的成果，被持份者描述为具有革命性。 Kobi则开发了一种展示宝石的创新性和艺术性的方式， 使珠宝商在设计之前就能购买到精选的匹配宝石，而且能 把成品珠宝的构思展现眼前。 凭借他对宝石及其独特性质的深刻理解，Kobi能够推出 特殊的颜色组合，帮助珠宝商准备他们的系列。 Kobi的聪明才智在疫情期间经受了考验。他评论说：“疫 情带来了独特的挑战，缺乏商贸展和旅行中断影响了人们 采购或销售宝石的能力。” 面对封城和限制，Kobi实施了一项政策——不断与客户 沟通。从他的家庭办公室，他能够通过Zoom会议和社交媒 体互动持续支援客户。 与他的合作伙伴一起，Kobi还发布了GWLab的新证书 （GWLab是Gemewizard在2018年成立的宝石学鉴定所）， 使用Gemewizard技术对通过Catawiki提供的宝石、彩钻和 成品珠宝进行认证。Catawiki是一个领先的在线拍卖平台， 用于购买和出售特殊货品和收藏品。 Kobi也是国际有色宝石协会(ICA)会员，他是ICA董事会 成员和“着眼未来”委员会的负责人。 据Kob i 介绍，由于全球经济不稳定，再加上宝石供 应紧张和制造业人力不足，2 0 2 3年仍将面临挑战。然 而，Advanced Quality将继续在全球扩大其影响力，并促进 Gemewizard技术的使用。 Kobi被评为2023年JWA Dubai特别版的“年度青年企业 家”，以表彰他对提高彩色宝石交易和分级标准的不懈承 诺。“我很荣幸获得这个奖项，并对我的辛勤工作得到认可 感到受宠若惊，”他说，“我们在2022年失去了行业的重要人 物，他们帮助建立了我们参与的业务。我从心底里认可和感 谢他们。由于我对天然颜色的热情，我致力推广宝石。我们有 一个美妙的行业、了不起的人物和有趣的故事，在未来的岁 月里必须被讲述和记录。这也是我想通过ICA实现的目标。” 1) Kobi Sevdermish DG, president of Advanced Quality ACC Ltd Advanced Quality ACC Ltd总裁Kobi Sevdermish
