Best Answer

During the early 20th century Jews were often forced to flee their homes at very short notice and live very mobile lives. Maintaining their wealth in jewelery such as diamonds allowed them to move their most valuable assets quickly and discretely.

Because of this many Jews began trading in jewelery (particularly precious stones) as they are light and vary valuable compared to their size.
