In September, Alrosa evaluated the results for three auctions of large rough diamonds (weighing 10.8 carats and more), held in the world\u2019s major diamond trading centres. In August and September, auctions were held in Antwerp, Dubai and Ramat Gan. As a result, 80 highest bidding companies, including companies from Belgium, Israel, India and UAE, purchased 349 lots weighing over 6,000 carats for $37.8 million (averaging approximately $6,300\/carat).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Evgeny Agureev, Deputy CEO of Alrosa, said: \u201cAugust is traditionally considered a relatively quiet period. However, this year we saw a consistent demand for rough diamonds of high quality and price. At a time when international travel remains limited, there was strong interest in all three international auctions. Together, they attracted more than 300 registered participants. In the second half of September, we also launched an online auction in response to the market\u2019s demands. It has a new expanded format, with lots\u2019 descriptions supplemented by expert evaluations and additional photos and videos. This auction, running until 13th<\/sup> October, enables clients to analyse and select diamonds completely remotely.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In September, Alrosa evaluated the results for three auctions of large rough diamonds (weighing 10.8 carats and more), held in the world\u2019s major diamond trading centres.
