Deputy CEO Evgeny Agureev described demand for rough diamonds in January as “steady,” as cutters continued restocking on the back of positive retail sales over the holiday season.
De Beers also recorded a year-over-year increase in sales to start the year, with rough sales totaling $545 million in the first sales cycle of the year, up 9 percent over the same period last year.
