De Beers slashes diamond sales to tackle gemstone market glut

De Beers on Thursday said it has slashed diamond sales in a bid to tackle a glut of gemstones in the market as the firm also vowed to spend an extra $20 million on advertising in a push to build demand ahead of the Christmas holiday season.

The diamond seller sold just $200 million worth of rough diamonds in the eighth sales cycle of the year — an amount 46% lower than in the previous cycle and 62% less than the same period last year. De Beers currently sells 90% of its rough diamonds to a specific cohort of just over 90 bulk purchasers, called Sightholders, and sells the remaining 10% of its stock via online auctions to around 950 accredited buyers, according to the company’s website.
