Alrosa,
the largest diamond mining company in the world, held the first auction this
year for special size (over 10.8 carats) rough diamonds. The auction took place
in Israel.
The company sold 92 large rough diamonds with the total weight of
1,570 carats. The overall revenue from sales amounted to $9.6 million. Firms
from Israel, Russia, Hong Kong, Belgium, India, the United Arab Emirates and
the United States participated in the auction.
“The
auction in Israel is the first in our schedule, and we are satisfied with its
results. Until the end of the year, we will hold five more auctions here. We
also continue to analyze the situation in the global diamond market and see some
difficulties with demand.
However, in the next two months we expect it to
recover,” Evgeny Agureev, Member of the Management Board, Director of the
United Sales Organization at Alrosa, said. In 2018, Alrosa held six auctions
for special size rough diamonds in Israel, and the revenue for the year reached
almost $90 million.
