Alrosa,
the largest diamond mining company in the world, held international auction for
special size rough diamonds (over 10.8 carats) in Dubai. The overall revenue
amounted to $8.3 million. The company sold 121 rough diamonds with total weight
of 1,950 carats. Firms from UAE, India, Belgium, Israel, Hong Kong, Russia and
the USA participated in the auction, and 31 firms were recognized as winners in
different positions.
“Alrosa
and Dubai have a longstanding partnership. Since 2014, we have been cooperating
with the Dubai Diamond Exchange on industry issues; we have our trading company
here, where we regularly hold auctions. This year, we decided to increase the
number of auctions in Dubai to five, because we see stable demand, including
from local firms,” Evgeny Agureev, Member of the Management Board, Director of
the United Selling Organization at Alrosa, said.
In
2018, Alrosa raised about $40 million at international auctions in Dubai.
