Trans Atlantic Gem Sales (TAGS) will be holding the 6th Rough Diamond Tender at the Almas Tower in Dubai from May 7 to 15. The tender will feature original productions from both South Africa and Angola.
According to TAGS, it is expecting in the region of 15,000 cts of South African goods with a value in excess of $18 mn, and at least 15,000 cts of Angolan goods with a value in excess of $15 mn. The exact details will soon be coming from the producers.
The South African goods fall primarily in the 3 grainers to 5-carat range, with the addition of some larger 10+ carat material. The Angolan production is in a full size range, predominantly from 0.15 to 10 carats and over. Both productions are of high clarity and colour.
