World’s biggest producer sells $2.7bn of rough diamonds this year, down a third on 2019
Sales at the diamond miner De Beers have slid to their lowest level in almost a decade, after the pandemic took the shine off global demand for gems and jewellery.
The world’s biggest diamond producer said it had provisionally sold $2.7bn (£1.9bn) of rough diamonds during 2020, down a third on 2019’s sales of more than $4bn.
