His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, attended the signing of an agreement between the Bahrain Institute for Pearls and Gemstones (Danat) with MALCA-AMIT, during his official visit to the UK.

The agreement was signed by Noura Jamsheer, the CEO of Danat, and Charles Frederick Richard Turner, Managing Director of MALCA-AMIT.

The agreement stipulates MALCA-AMIT will handle communication with prospective clients and facilitate their requests to examine pearls, jewellery, and gemstones.

From the outset, MALCA-AMIT will arrange for items to be sent to Danat’s laboratory in Bahrain for testing. After the evaluation is complete, MALCA-AMIT will securely ship items back to customers along with the corresponding inspection certificate.

This process adheres to the highest standards and principles of security in the industry. Danat’s strategic decision to expand into the British market is designed to leverage the market’s rich experience in the jewellery and gemstone trade.

London, in particular, serves as the global hub for numerous jewellery houses, making it a prime destination for individuals seeking pearls, jewellery, and gemstones. Danat is actively involved in driving forward Bahrain’s national plan to revive the Kingdom’s pearl sector.

Over the last six years, the institute has made significant advancements in several areas, including, providing jewellery inspection services, establishing global partnerships and developing comprehensive training programmes.

Danat continues to establish collaborations with renowned institutions in the region and across the world. The institution’s primary objective is to contribute to the sector on a global scale by adhering to the highest industry standards and leveraging scientific knowledge to ensure the guarantee, protection and enhancement of public trust in pearls, gemstones, and jewellery. Danat’s persistent efforts continue to play a crucial role in strengthening the natural pearl trade in Bahrain and across the globe.
