Must Read

World’s leading diamond company De Beers Group said it will invest over US $140 million for diamond marketing in India, US and China this year.
“We are investing more than US $140 million in marketing this year, which will be biggest spend since 2008.
“The increased investment will be focused on generating further consumer demand for diamond jewellery in the leading markets globally, with the greatest spend targeted in the US, China and India,” De Beers said in a statement.
While a majority of the investment will support De Beers’ proprietary brands, Forevermark and De Beers Diamond Jewellers, the company will increase its spend on partnership marketing, including with the Diamond Producers Association and India’s Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council as well, it said.
De Beers Group’s Executive VP of Marketing and CEO of Forevermark, Stephen Lussier said, “Total consumer expenditure on diamond jewellery for the last five years collectively has been the highest on record – and the outlook is positive. However, we can’t take future growth for granted.”
“Increasing our spend from a strong position will help support continued demand in both mature and developing markets, particularly among millennials, who are already the largest group of diamond consumers despite this generation not having yet reached its maximum earning potential,” he said.
De Beers Group is a member of the Anglo American Plc group and has expertise in the exploration, mining and marketing of diamonds.
Together with its joint venture partners, De Beers Group employs more than 20,000 people across the diamond pipeline and is the world’s largest diamond producer by value, with mining operations in Botswana, Canada, Namibia and South Africa.
