Three years ago, Alrosa launched the Alrosa Diamond Exclusive program – a partnership with private banks in Russia to sell diamonds to their clients. Now, the miner plans to expand the arrangement beyond Russia. As per the report, Alrosa will sell “its largest and clearest fancy color stones and colorless gems over 3-carats” to investors.
