De Beers has announced that its Auction Sales business will run further polished diamond auction events in August, “following the success of the initial events in late June”, the company added.
Neil Ventura, Executive Vice-President, De Beers Auction Sales, said: “We’ve been really encouraged by the early reaction to auctions of our own polished diamonds and to our third party exceptional auction sales”.
The next auction for De Beers polished diamonds will take place on August 10. The auction “will see a greater volume of De Beers polished diamonds offered for sale than at the first event held in June”. The next third party exceptional diamond auction, featuring higher value polished diamonds, will be held on August 24. The auction will be headlined by a 15 carat internally flawless Fancy Vivid Yellow rectangle brilliant, as well as a two carat Fancy Pinkish Purple cushion”.
