De Beers announces Cycle 5

De Beers Group announced the value of rough diamond sales (Global Sightholder Sales and Auction Sales) for the fifth sales cycle of 2019.

Bruce Cleaver, CEO, De Beers Group, said: “While overall retail sentiment for diamond jewellery in the US remains solid, a more challenging environment in China and higher than normal polished diamond inventories in the midstream resulted in a cautious approach from rough diamond buyers during the fifth cycle of 2019.”
