De Beers Group CEO Al Cook said solid consumer demand for diamonds in the United States over the year-end holiday season has helped stabilise the industry.

“We are seeing polished diamond prices increasing again,” Cook said Wednesday when De Beers Group released the rough diamonds first cycle sales of 2024.

According to the results, De Beers sold US$370m of rough diamonds in the first cycle compared to US$420m in the same cycle in 2023.

Cook said the restart of rough diamond imports in India contributed to the increased demand in the first cycle of 2024.

He warned, however that with the prospects for economic growth in many major economies uncertain, rough diamond demand may take some time to recover fully.
