In South Africa he is known as a strong player in the Jewelry and Diamond industry since 1981 and retired at the age of 83 leaving a legacy to Aviva Ezra, his daughter.

Aviva Ezra

Director

Aviva Ezra has grown up under the tutelage of her father, CapeDiamond Exchange founder, Mr. Poldy.

Aviva gained invaluable experience through working in an array of positions in family businesses throughout her life.

In 2015, Mr. Poldy fulfilled his dream of handing down his business of 40 years to his only daughter. While she was lucky enough to have his breadth of wisdom passed down first hand, Mr. Poldy was most excited by the fresh energy and ideas she livened Cape Diamond Exchange with.

Finally fulfilling her passion in the jewelry business, Aviva Ezra is the new Director of Cape Diamond Exchange, and she is doing what she loves every day.
