\u201cWe are pleased to announce that our Dubai office is hosting auctions again. Customers from six countries visited us there to view the rough diamonds. The auction generated good results, 93% of the diamonds presented at the auction were sold,\u201d said Evgeny Agureev, Deputy CEO of Alrosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In March 2020, Alrosa suspended auctions due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Customers participated in online auctions with detailed digital copies of each rough diamond provided for review and detailed analysis. In May, the company started the return to the usual format by organising auctions in its trading offices in Belgium and Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
