Rozloha butiku je 2800 m2... , skoro ako u nás.
Dúfam niekedy budú mať ľudia aj u nás trochu vedomostí a hlavne financií na nákup ...

Diamanty v tejto cenovej kategórii sa nebudú predávať za pokladňou v Lidli. Predpokladám príjemný rozhovor v súkromných priestoroch pri fľaške drahého vínka alebo koňaku.
No a počas nákupu tiež nebude prebiehať vedomostný test kupujúceho. Je to o množstve paliva, ktoré je kupujúci ochotný obetovať výmenou za trblietavý kamienok. Len si predstav, že by nám tu po meste pobehovali vysokoškolskí profesori ovešaní diamantovými hodinkami... :D

Rough trading quiet during Alrosa sale, which began December 5, and ahead of next week’s De Beers sight.

Zaujímavá spolupráca ?

RAPAPORT... Alrosa will resume diamond-mining operations in Zimbabwe after a two-year break from the country.

The Russian miner announced it would partner with the African country to develop joint exploration and extraction projects. The announcement took place during a visit to Moscow by Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

“We…seek to support Zimbabwe in the development of its diamond-mining industry in line with [the] industry’s best practices,” Alrosa CEO Sergey Ivanov said Monday. “We are happy to share…a wealth of experience in the field of mineral exploration and diamond mining, including the [industry’s] self-regulation and responsible business.”

Mnangagwa has been trying to reform the nation’s diamond industry and rebuild investor confidence since coming to power in 2017. Corruption claims plagued the sector under the nation’s former leadership, and many mining companies, including Alrosa, left the country.

In December, Zimbabwe’s Ministry of Mines and Mining Development said it would allow two new companies to mine at Marange, and called on both De Beers and Vast Resources to return. Both companies said they had not received an official invitation.

After negotiations last year, Alrosa opened a Zimbabwe subsidiary in December, and intends to deploy geologists and mining engineers to the country within the coming month, it said.

No kryštálov kremeňa som videl aj ja habakuky, ale ja som sa pýtal na diamanty. Kráterov po sopkách je na Slovensku nadostač, ale hlásil už niekto nález diamantu? (bez ohľadu na hmotnosť a kvalitu)

Momentálne si nespomínam zo 100% istotou , ale domnievam sa asi áno ,
solídnejšiu info dám možno do konca týždňa.

Ja zasa pokiaľ lozím po horách viac venujem pozornosť okolo hríbov ako minerálov , ale priateľov beriem na hľadanie minerálov , ja idem radšej na hríby .

Zasa nemám problém dostať pekný nerast na oplátku...

Nový zoznam klientov spoločnosti Alrosa nezahŕňa spoločnosť Leviev

31. januára 2019 5:36 Od Joshua Freedmana

RAPAPORT ... Spoločnosť Alrosa prestala dodávat surové diamanty LLD Diamonds spoločnosti Lev Leviev prostredníctvom svojich zmlúv o predaji v rámci zmluvy, ako súčasť reorganizácie dlhodobého zoznamu zákazníkov.

Izraelská firma, ktorá je jedným z "niekoľkých" bývalých zákazníkov, ktorí odstúpili od zoznamu dodávok v roku 2019, známy ako program Alrosa Alliance, uviedla ruská spoločnosť.

"V minulom roku bolo rozhodnutie vylúčiť LLD z dlhodobého zoznamu klientov kvôli nedodržaniu princípov Alrosa Alliance", vysvetlil hovorca ruského výrobcu v e-mailovej správe Rapaport News tento týždeň. Ruská spoločnosť má pokyny, ktoré uvádzajú rôzne možné dôvody na pozastavenie klienta.

Spoločnosť Alrosa nepotvrdila totožnosť ostatných spoločností, ktoré odstránila zo zoznamu.

LLD sa dostala do popredia, pretože izraelská polícia zatkla niekoľko svojich zamestnancov v novembri za podozrenie z pašovania diamantov v hodnote stoviek miliónov šeklov do krajiny. Alrosa odmietla uviesť, či tento krok bol priamo spojený so sondou, zatiaľ čo LLD neodpovedala na žiadosť o pripomienku.

Alrosa Alliance predstavuje asi 70% hrubého obratu banského priemyslu. Spravuje podobnú úpravu ako systém pozorovateľov spoločnosti De Beers, ktorý ponúka stabilné dodávky pre spoločnosti, ktoré dokážu preukázať dopyt a dodržiavať pravidlá týkajúce sa obchodných postupov.

Spoločnosť Alrosa rozšírila svoj zoznam na 59 dlhodobých kupcov surových diamantov v roku 2019, od 56 v minulom roku. Šiestimi novými členmi boli šperky Chow Sang Sang z Hongkongu, indické diamantové firmy Kapu Gems, Mohit Diamonds, spoločnosť VD Global a spoločnosť M. Suresh a švajčiarsky výrobca Richold.

"Potvrdzujeme nedotknuteľnosť princípov Alrosa Aliance a máme záujem o diverzifikáciu našej klientskej základne, ktorá vzrástla v porovnaní s minulým rokom," povedal Evgeny Agureev, riaditeľ United Selling Organization spoločnosti Alrosa. Zatiaľ čo noví zákazníci preukázali dostatočnú "obchodnú aktivitu" na zabezpečenie dlhodobej dodávky, "niekoľko spoločností zo zoznamu upustilo," dodal.

Alrosa tiež prijala dve belgické spoločnosti, HD Diam a skupinu IGC, ako kandidátov na potenciálne budúce dlhodobé zmluvy. Obe firmy predtým kúpili od spoločnosti Alrosa v rámci ad-hoc obchodov, známych ako spotové transakcie.

V minulom roku spoločnosť Alrosa prešla každoročným hodnotením pridelených finančných prostriedkov pre nerovnomerné diamanty, pričom svoju politiku viac zosúladila s politikou spoločnosti De Beers. Podľa starého systému sa spoločnosť Alrosa zaoberá dodávkou klientov, ktoré sa konajú počas troch rokov.
