Alrosa is betting on AI to uncover diamond deposits
Russia’s diamond giant Alrosa is betting on artificial intelligence to uncover deposits that have long eluded geologists.

The company revealed last week that it has created a digital system designed to pinpoint exploration zones with far greater precision, potentially reducing both the cost and the time traditionally required for diamond prospecting.
Explaining the rationale behind the initiative, Alrosa noted that most of the planet’s major kimberlite pipes—the richest sources of diamonds—were discovered decades ago. Since then, fresh finds have become increasingly rare.
The new platform draws on more than half a century of geological records, processing the data through neural network models to highlight areas still holding promise. Executives say the approach could mark a breakthrough in locating mineral resources.
Alrosa’s move comes amid mounting financial strain. Western sanctions, particularly from the G7, have curtailed the company’s sales channels, forcing temporary mine closures, a reduction in output, and even the transfer of unsold inventory to state reserves. Against this backdrop, the AI initiative signals both an urgent need for innovation and a long-term play to secure future resources.

De Beers brings Diamonds and Glamour to London

Insiders suggest a star-studded journey to London might be on the cards. But why London? Beyond its glittering reputation as a global hub for jewellery and fashion, whispers point to something far more dazzling — De Beers is set to host a major showcase in the city.
This year, De Beers Group makes its grand debut at Frieze London, marking a landmark moment where the world of natural diamonds meets the world of art. In collaboration with Frieze Masters, the brand will unveil Voyage Through the Diamond Realm — an immersive experience said to capture the mystery, beauty, and brilliance of natural diamonds like never before.
To bring this vision to life, De Beers has invited India’s leading style and art connoisseurs, including Twinkle Khanna, Ananya Panday, Sara Tendulkar, Karan Johar and many more. Known for their refined taste and appreciation of art and design, these tastemakers are the perfect ambassadors to experience natural diamonds in a whole new light — where every facet tells a story of time, pressure, and perfection.
While details remain under wraps, those close to the brand hint that the experience will be nothing short of transformative — a moment where science, storytelling, and rarity converge to celebrate nature’s most extraordinary creations.
One thing’s certain: when De Beers Group meets Frieze London, the city is bound to shine a little brighter — and perhaps, so will those boarding that flight.
