ALROSA has reported its preliminary rough and polished sales results for April 2021.
ALROSA sales of rough and polished diamonds in April totaled $401 million, including proceeds from rough diamond sales of $383 million, and polished diamond sales of $18 million, the company's media communications service reported.
For four months of 2021, total rough and polished diamond sales accounted for $1,561 million, including $1,509 million of rough diamond sales and $51 million of polished.
“In April, demand for diamond jewelry in the key markets continued to remain sustainably robust. Rough diamonds’ stocks at the mid-stream remain modest, while the supply of rough diamonds gradually moves to a deficit state as global diamond production capacities structurally reduced. Our April sales were well supported by the successful results delivered by auctions of high-quality large rough, as well as by strong sales of polished diamonds”, said Evgeny Agureev, Deputy CEO of ALROSA.
