Rough Market Cools Despite $572M De Beers Sight

 

De Beers Orapa mine

The rough-diamond market slowed during last week’s De Beers July sight, with prices on the secondary market decreasing.
De Beers sold $572 million of rough in the sixth sales cycle, an increase of 6% from the previous sight and 8% from the same period a year ago, the company said Tuesday. However, rough dealers were reselling boxes of De Beers goods for no premium, or at a loss, in contrast to the buoyant activity in the first half of the year, sightholders said.
While De Beers kept its prices generally steady, prices on the secondary market were about 4% to 5% lower than they were following the June sight, dealers reported. “Taking into account the real cost of the boxes [including tax, broker fees and other costs], the box prices represented a loss to the sellers,” Dudu Harari of diamond broker Bluedax said in a report on the sight.
The cooling of the market comes as diamond cutters are finally realizing that the mismatch between rough and polished prices has made it difficult for them to make money on goods, one rough broker told Rapaport News on Tuesday.
Demand for polished diamonds remains weak, resulting in slim profit margins for manufacturers, sightholders said, as rough prices increased an estimated 3% in the first half. “This sight, we saw a paradigm shift,” the rough broker explained.
“There wasn’t much demand for De Beers boxes on the secondary market. This was a very significant difference from sight five. “The wheels have come off the bus as far as the rough market is concerned,” the broker added. “If something doesn’t change at the end of the pipeline, we could see a drop in rough prices.” De Beers, meanwhile, said demand for its goods was solid across its product range, as the miner had reported in previous sights.
“With Diwali being earlier than normal in 2017, we saw some demand from Indian diamantaires pulled forward from sight seven,” said De Beers CEO Bruce Cleaver. “This was due to these customers needing to make rough-diamond purchases in sufficient time to complete their polishing before the holiday begins.” De Beers continued its recent practice of not offering any “ex-plan” goods — excess rough that the miner makes available beyond what it has agreed to supply sightholders — according to the anonymous broker.
Buyers reported shortages in certain rough categories, in line with earlier sales this year.

Sarine Claims Superior Accuracy for Grading Tools

Sarine Technologies’ new automated color- and clarity-grading systems are yielding more reliable results than manual graders, the company has claimed.

Sarine Clarity, which uses technology to analyze flaws in polished diamonds, showed a 97% correlation with the grades given by a reference group of human gemologists, while Sarine Color matched them 99% of the time, Sarine said Sunday.

Selling your diamond

Sell your diamond

DCLA can help you sell or auction your diamond jewellery and get you the correct value:

If you are you considering selling your diamond, but feel as though you have no idea how or where to begin with the process?
This article will give you a few tips to help you along the way.
TIP #1 Diamonds are usually given to display love, making the sentimental value higher to the seller than the actual value to a buyer. Should you be in the market to sell your diamond, make sure you are ready to part with the diamond before begining the process.
TIP #2 Be sure of the quality and authenticity of what you are trying to sell. Make sure of the quality and the grade of the stone. This is most important for the ultimate value of the diamond. There have been many instances where a seller is committed to selling their diamond only to find out the quality isn’t as described when originally purchased.
There are Jewellers or services available, who will give an unbiased assessment of your stone. But it is far more valuable in the long run to get a report from a recognised Laboratory.
It is also recommended to verify the report matches the Laser inscription before placing your diamond on the market, to assure your diamond is the same stone should it not sell.
TIP #3 Now that you have an accurate report of the quality, make sure you get a realistic selling value. Believing the diamond holds a higher value than it truly possesses will lead to a challenging, frustrating experience which can be dragged out.
An appraiser can assist you with determining a fair selling, price so you can avoid this pitfall. Diamonds are priced in US dollars, so your diamonds price will be affected when converted to your local currency.
A good way to see current retail values is to visit online stores like dcladiamondexchange.com.au or bluenile.com.
TIP #4 There are many ways to sell a preloved diamond or diamond jewellery. Research your selling options to make an educated decision that works best for you. Be it an online market or exploring options through a local jeweller or dealer, be sure you are using the best option for your needs.
Example, if time is not of the essence, an online market or an auction house could be the best way forward. If you want a quick sale, visiting your local dealer may be the best option.
DCLA Diamond Laboratory provides an internationally recognised and respected report to any seller or prospective buyer.
DCLA will provide you with an experience expert to advise you and give you the accurate value protecting you when selling. Our goal is to provide you with as much knowledge as possible.
