Editors DeskThe world of diamonds is currently churning and
undergoing changes that will result in fundamental changes in the
way diamonds are sourced, valued and sold in the future. The one
thing that will most affect the future of diamonds is the fact that
no new diamond mines have been found in the last 15 years while all
the worlds biggest mines todayhavepeakedandbeguntoslideintodecline.
Already, there is a shortfall in supply to meet todays
strongdemandfordiamonds.Andgoingintothe
future,assupplysourcesdwindle,thatgapisgoing to
widen.Naturally,scarcityisdrivingpricesup.Andprices are going to
rise at an accelerating rate as the mines begin to dry up. So
strong is this price rise going to be that many mining companies,
which had sharply cut production during the global recession, have
not gonebackuptofullcapacityevennow.Theydont ever intend to. With
prices going up so fast, they can
leaveagreaterproportionoftheirroughdiamond resources in the ground,
sell less rough, yet still make as much money as they did in
previous years, when they mined at full capacity. Leaving resources
in the ground also means the life of the mine can be extended by a
few years.And in tomorrows short-supplied world, there arent going
to be even less of the better qualities and larger
sizesofdiamonds.Thepricesofthosegoodsthat
areavailablethen,willbeastronomical.Sowhat
shouldonedotokeeponescustomerbasewhen one doesnt have the kind of
diamonds it wants? How will one grow ones business? One of the
answers is detailed in this issues cover story. Develop a product
basedonaffordablediamondsandmovediamonds away from simply being
storehouses of value that are counted among consumers investments,
to being gifts that are valued by the receiver. These will still
hold their intrinsic value, but their primary function will
betoconveyasenseofvaluefromthegivertothe
receiver.Giventhegreatchangestakingplaceintheworld diamond
industry, it is vital that one understand the

one of the major sources listed in the pipeline is the diamond
recycling market. This is the global version of the buy-back that
Indian retailers arefamiliarwith.Oldjewelleryanddiamondsare
handedintopawnshopsthatpaycashandthen put these diamonds up for
auction by lot. The buyers are mostly professionals looking to fill
gaps in their inventories. The recycling market is projected to
grow into the worlds single largest source of diamonds in the

when they retreated. New and

old ones near the mine. The new houses come with better quality
water, a health clinic, schools and a market place. The quality of
life is vastly improved and those that were relocated are genuinely
happy with their new accommodations. Visiting a nearby girls
school, also about to move to a better facility with flushing
toilets, I met children whose parents work at the mine, receive
medical care they did not have before and now enjoy the close
attention of their government all thanks to the diamond
industry.Here are some statistics that paint a picture the mine

desire to celebrate an engagement with a diamond ring.Its easy to
be cynical and dismiss lines such as we are supporting the local
community. Some may indeed be paying lip service, but not all. The
glitter at Basel or the opera does not come at their expense; on
the contrary, it helps improve their lives. We should celebrate the
fact the diamonds bring good to all sorts of places and people, for
oddly, it is a very democratic commodity. Insight_2.indd 13

upstream.The contrasts between 2009 and 2010 could not be starker,
but,inallfairness,thepipelinebehavedaspredicted. Coming after 2009,
which reflected the most severe single-year contraction of the
diamond pipeline since World War II owing to the economic crisis
and the resultant liquidity shortages, the industry managed the
crisis remarkably well, and a freefall of prices and the feared
spate of bankruptcies and/or insolvencies were avoided. Industry
participants understood that the severity of the

Thedemandhasnot(yet)originatedfromadramatic return of consumers to
the shops. What is probably the most outstanding feature is the
fact that on the demand side we saw a return to a restored
equilibrium between polished, rough and retail demand. It was the
insufficient supply of rough that, among other things, partly
triggered havoc in rough pricing. More about that later.2010: YEAR

was a 27 percent price increase in rough during 2010, a trend that
continues in 2011. (Interestingly or rather maddingly, a March 2011
De Beers Group Strategy paper notes that the world $ pwp growth of
approximately 8 percent was higher than expected by markets as a
result the diamond pipeline was under supplied at the start of
2011.)This undershooting of market demand by the producers

further rough supply growth of 21.5 percent, raising rough supplies

the industrys most difficult crisis year, the worlds diamond
producers mined some 120-125 million carats (Mct) valued at
$8.6-9.5 billion, a steep reduction from the 160-165 million carats
worth $13.4-14.4 billion in 2008. In 2010, it is estimated that the
mines produced 125-130 million carats,
valuedat$11.8-$12.2billion.AstheRussiangovernment stocked the
output, these goods did not enter into the market. Trade sentiment
is influenced by a growing awareness within the industry of an
approaching supply-demand deficit, even after mines resume full
production and sales.Whiletheoutlookfordiamonddemandisfavorable,
growth in rough diamond production is slowing as reserves are being
depleted and no new major mines have come on stream. Tacy Ltd.
forecasts that, up to 2020, annual rough

taking the wild card called Zimbabwe into account, and then fall

(yet) is the impact of recycling. The figure would, implicitly, be
included in thecuttingcentersalestothemarket,specificallysales from
India. It would be evident in Indian polished import figures. It
would also alter statistically the average yield
outoftherough,aspolishedexportfigureswillnot
differentiatebetweenpolishedproducedfromroughor from re-cutting or
re-selling recycled
diamonds.Toputtherathernewrecyclingissueinperspective,we have
written before that since ancient days the world has produced some
5.2 billion carats of diamonds which, at todays rough production
values, $80 per carat (p/c), would amount to $420 billion of rough.
The historically adjusted
gemqualitypolishedoutputwouldbebetween1.3-1.8 billion carats,
taking into account the specific and limited range of goods that
used to enter the gem-quality market. At todays polished prices
(average $650 p/c), consumers hold about $0.9-1.2 trillion worth of
polished between 40-50
percentofwhichwouldbeinAmericanhands.Recycling of even a small part
of this stock can significantly affect
demandforfreshpolishedand,consequently,rough demand. Moreover, only
the better qualities are recycled.There is hard evidence that
considerable recycling has taken

and their re-export to the U.S. What is truly startling is the
price levels of such
transactions.Oursourcessaythewidelyacceptedrecyclingstandard
priceis80percentbelowRapaport,atmost.Thusthe potential profits to
be made in this market niche are huge. My sources estimate that in
the U.S., there were probably 2-3 million carats of polished sold
back into the upstream market 2010. The vast majority is going back
to India, mixed into parcels and resold back to U.S. or on to China
etc.Howcanweputapricetagonthisactivity?Theaverage
valueofU.S.importsofpolishedin2010was$1,367p/c.
Thoughinfactmostoftherecycledgoodsarebetter qualities, we assume
for a moment that the recycled goods would have at least the
average value of U.S.imports. This would put recycling in the U.S.
alone at $4 billion in
2010!Aseconomichardship(anddivorces,etc.)isnotthe

restoftheworldaddingatleast$2billion,abouthalfof the U.S. recycling
level. Thus recycling may well have been a $6 billion business,
producing somewhere between $3-$4 billion profits!How does this
impact the pipeline? In a most direct way, this amount would be the
equivalent of some $4 billion of rough significantly softening the
demand for rough and, potentially, a factor that might suppress
rough prices, which is not something we see today. We assume that
these goods are still largely held in inventories in the diamond
centers. AccordingtoaprominentrepresentativeofIndiasGem and Jewelry
Export Promotion Council, the $4-$6 billion of recycled goods, if
not more, is a part of the $20 billion polished imports into India,
which was recorded in Fiscal Year 2010. So far we have collected
considerable anecdotal evidence on the recycling phenomenon and are
aware that many diamondtradersaredevelopingthismarketniche.Itis

Page template.indd 102 04-May-11 12:13:52 PMFor the first time
ever, Indian diamond jewellery retailers have a retail benchmark
for diamond prices, enabling them to assure their consumers about
the retail prices being charged for diamonds. The endorsement of
the All India Gems & Jewellery Trade Federation (GJF) makes the
benchmark prices accepted countrywide, giving the consumer further
confidence to buy diamonds. The Diamond Retail Benchmark (DRB) is
derived from up-to-date market data using an objective and fully
transparent system. Standard retail mark-ups across the country
have been factored in to ensure that the norms of every geographic
market in the country are accounted for.The diamond category is one
of the few retail sectors that up to now has not had a credible
retail price benchmark
forconsumers.Forconsumers,manyofthemfirst-time diamond buyers, the
