De Beers Company earned about $ 600 million from the sale of rough diamonds within the July site, with a slight increase in prices.
Rapaport cites the statement of one Mumbai sightholder De Beers that the last site of the company can not be called inspiring. According to some reports, a number of sightholders abandoned the proposed goods, although there were other buyers on these lots.
"The past site was not very interesting," said the sightholder. - It seems that sightholders refused many boxes, but other companies bought these goods in order to strengthen their positions and declare De Beers adherence. I do not think that De Beers left a lot of goods at the end of the auction. "
Nigel Simson, head of De Beers' De-billing Operations Department, suggested that the refusal of the goods belonged to those segments where the market was particularly weak.
