De Beers Launches First Diamond Auction in Botswana after Relocation from Singapore

De Beers has conducted its first diamond auction in Botswana following the company’s strategic relocation from Singapore, aiming to streamline operations by consolidating its trading activities in Gaborone. The move, according to De Beers, strengthens Botswana’s role in the global diamond value chain.
The initial event, held as a small-scale trial during De Beers’ third sales cycle, was targeted at sightholders and reportedly drew “substantial interest.” The company noted a high level of customer engagement, with most parcels sold to a wide array of participants.
Building on the success of the trial, De Beers announced it will now begin hosting regular auctions in Botswana, open to all registered customers holding the necessary licenses. The next auction is scheduled for Cycle 4.

Paul Rowley, Executive Vice President of Diamond Trading at De Beers, described the results as “encouraging,” and added that the company anticipates “increased customer participation in the coming months.”
“It is exciting to now have our diamond trading operations officially united under one roof in Botswana, and we are confident that this move will contribute to the continuing development of Botswana’s diamond sector,” Rowley stated.

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.
