The estimated cost of the last De Beers site was $ 550 million; the company adjusted the composition of the boxes by improving the quality of diamonds, Rapaport reports.
Sightholders note that although in general, De Beers kept the prices for rough diamonds at the same level within the site that ended on February 28, due to the change in the range, the boxes went up by about 4%.
"In general, the boxes look very attractive, and I believe that the site received good feedback from customers," said one of the sightholders. "De Beers has changed the assortment, so the prices have slightly increased, but this increase looks justified."
Prices for rough diamonds in February showed an increase, and according to some reports, BHP Billiton tender prices increased by 4% on average. Similarly, bonuses for De Beers pits, which are traded on the secondary market with a 5 percent premium, increased. Prices for large diamonds weighing more than 15 carats jumped by more than 12%.
Dealers note that premiums vary depending on the type of product, cheaper diamonds are sold at a premium of about 8%, while more expensive stones are traded at low premiums.
One of the Indian sightholders expressed concern over the fact that despite the recent rise in prices for raw materials, prices for polished diamonds remain stable.

prices for certified diamonds remained stable, as the situation in the US market and the increase of consumer confidence in the Far Eastern markets ensured the growth of demand for stones of VS-SI categories, Triple EX cut, Rapaport reported.
In February, the price index for diamonds RapNet Diamond Index (RAPI ™) for stones weighing 1 carat increased slightly - by 0.2%, while the price index for diamonds weighing 0.3 carats increased by 2.7%; diamonds weighing 0.5 carats went up by 0.7%, while the RAPI index for stones of 3 carats decreased by 0.2%. In general, following the results of the first two months of 2013, prices for diamonds showed stability.
The growth of RAPI index for diamonds weighing 0.3 carats is due to the increase in demand for this product from the Far Eastern region during the Chinese New Year season.
As Rapaport's recently published monthly report, Steady Markets, Rough Anxieties, says, the supply and demand for diamonds and the situation in retail jewelry markets are balanced, but the recent rise in prices for rough diamonds seems unstable .
In February, prices for rough diamonds increased by about 4%, while prices for large stones weighing more than 15 carats jumped by more than 12%. Trade in De Beers' boxes in the secondary market is intensifying, and now they are sold with a 5% premium. Deliveries of rough diamonds remain under control and at a fairly low level, while diamond cutters have sufficient reserves to meet current orders. It is expected that diamond cutting enterprises will keep production capacity at a low level, at least until the beginning of the next financial year in India.
