According to a press release, the auction in Hong Kong will include 105 gem-quality lots with total weight of 1,620 carats, while the auction in Vladivostok will include 130 gem-quality lots with total weight of 2,149 carats. The results will be summed up on June 28 for Hong Kong, June 29 for Vladivostok.

 

According to Evgeny Agureev, Member of the Executive committee and Director of the USO ALROSA, “interaction with the Asia-Pacific countries is one of ALROSA’s key activities today. Vladivostok and Hong Kong are two excellent sites for attracting customers from these regions. Moreover, thanks to the good demand noted at the previous auctions, we decided to revise the previously approved schedule and to hold not two but four auctions in Vladivostok in 2018”.
