Nedávne správy z médií naznačujú, že EÚ a G7 – ktorá zahŕňa Kanadu, Francúzsko, Nemecko, Taliansko, Japonsko, Spojené kráľovstvo a USA – plánujú mechanizmus na sledovanie ruských kameňov cez dodávateľský reťazec.

"Opätovne potvrdzujeme náš záväzok posilniť bezprecedentné a koordinované sankcie a ďalšie ekonomické opatrenia, ktoré G7 a partnerské krajiny doteraz prijali, aby ďalej čelili schopnosti Ruska viesť svoju nezákonnú agresiu," pokračovalo vyhlásenie.

Najnovšie správy: Kľudný diamantový trh odráža ekonomickú opatrnosť.

TLAČOVÁ SPRÁVA RAPAPORT, 4. apríla 2023, Las Vegas… Obchodovanie s diamantmi bolo v marci pomalé kvôli ekonomickej neistote v USA a zastavenému oživeniu v Číne. Rast úrokových sadzieb, vysokej inflácie a banková kríza prispeli k útlmu podnikania.

Sentiment sa zlepšil, keď hongkonská medzinárodná výstava šperkov signalizovala návrat čínskych kupujúcich po dlhšej neprítomnosti v dôsledku obmedzení Covid-19. K uvoľneniu zadržiavaného dopytu ešte nedošlo.

Brúsený inventár zostáva historicky vysoko, ale v populárnych veľkostiach sa znížil. Počet jedinečných diamantov kótovaných na RapNet klesol v marci o 3 % na 1,72 milióna k 1. aprílu. To bolo stále 10 % nad úrovňou pred pandémiou z 1. marca 2020.

Brúsená výroba je stabilná pri nižších množstvách. Objem hrubého dovozu z Indie klesol v prvých dvoch mesiacoch roku 2023 medziročne o 14 %. Ziskové marže výrobcov sa sprísnili, keďže ceny menšieho surového tovaru sa v prvom štvrťroku zvýšili odhadom o 30 %.

Diamantový dodávateľský reťazec sa delí na tovar, ktorý je plne vysledovateľný k zodpovedným zdrojom, a tovar, ktorý nie. Pred summitom v polovici mája krajiny G7 pracujú na pláne, ktorý by od spoločností vyžadoval, aby deklarovali neruský pôvod svojich diamantov. Smernicou by sa zvýšili opatrenia, aby sa na hlavných spotrebiteľských trhoch G7 nedostalo čo pochádza z Ruska.

Aktualizované sankcie pravdepodobne urýchlia rozdelenie trhu a môžu viesť k nedostatku obľúbených položiek v rámci krajín G7, najmä s predpokladaným zlepšením dopytu v druhej polovici rok

Keď sa pozrieme ďalej, uvádzame niekoľko kľúčových lekcií z kongresu ICA v Dubaji a podávame správu z výstav drahokamov v Tucsone a veľtrhu nehnuteľností TEFAF . Zdieľame niektoré aktuálne údaje o trhu s použitými hodinkami , ponúkame pohľad do prosperujúceho prostredia aukcií druhého stupňa a vypočujeme si tipy od dvoch odborníkov na interiérový dizajn, ako prerobiť svoj obchod . Tiež prezident Kay Jewelers Bill Brace nám hovorí, ako sa dostal na vrchol.

Čo sa týka štýlu, zameriame sa na šperky inšpirované zámkom , starožitné zlaté retiazky a nádherné kontrasty miešania drsných a fazetovaných kameňov . Poskakujeme po celom svete, obdivujeme tavené drahokamy japonskej klenotníčky Yutai a hovoríme s Corinne Le Foll z Dinh Van o jej plánoch urobiť z ikonickej francúzskej značky meno v USA.
