De Beers Sightholders report shortages of large diamonds
Rough diamonds above 5 carats were in tight supply at this week’s sight, customers reported, with explanations ranging from production cuts to ’ strategy of withholding supply. The February trading session saw stable prices in the vast majority of categories, as the miner maintained its policy of not flooding the market, insiders said this week.
The lack of large stones has puzzled some, since De Beers is reportedly sitting on $2 billion of inventories, its largest since the 2008 financial crisis. Many market insiders viewed it as a positive that these sizes were hard to find, reflecting that the categories had sold better in the past few sights. The resultant polished — mostly 2 carats and larger — has performed better in the recent downturn than 0.30- to 2 carat goods.
Some point to a tactical effort by De Beers to limit supply — either to protect the market or to reward sightholders that purchase less sought-after items.

Mikey Madison Champions Self-Love In Tiffany & Co.’s Playful New Diamond Campaign
Oscar-Winning Actress Gives The Iconic Sixteen Stone Ring A Fresh, Empowering Meaning
Tiffany & Co. has unveiled its latest Love & Celebration campaign, starring Academy Award-winning actress Mikey Madison, who brings charm, wit and confidence to a refreshing take on modern love, self-expression and luxury jewellery.
In the campaign film, Madison appears in a classic black dress, seated at a vanity as soft music plays in the background. Opening the signature Tiffany Blue Box, she slips on the iconic Sixteen Stone solitaire diamond ring, originally created by legendary designer Jean Schlumberger in 1959.
What follows is a playful twist on the familiar “loves me, loves me not” ritual. As Madison moves the ring from one finger to another, she alternates between the two phrases while admiring herself in the mirror. The moment culminates with her placing the ring on her middle finger, switching off the music and confidently declaring, “I love me.” She closes the Tiffany box and walks away, leaving behind a powerful message of self-love, confidence and independence.
The campaign has resonated strongly with audiences, with many praising Madison’s effortless performance and the brand’s contemporary storytelling. Social media users described her as the perfect face for Tiffany’s evolving image, while others applauded the introduction of the Sixteen Stone solitaire as a meaningful everyday statement piece.
Madison, who won the 2025 Academy Award for her performance in Anora and became a Tiffany & Co. ambassador the same year, previously fronted the brand’s HardWear campaign.
Through Love & Celebration, Tiffany & Co. expands its traditional narrative around love beyond romance. The maison positions fine jewellery as a celebration of personal milestones, family bonds, friendships and, most importantly, self-appreciation. The campaign reflects the belief that love is personal, inclusive and defined by the wearer.
Alongside the film, Tiffany has also released a series of digital videos showcasing the brand’s diamond expertise, artisanal craftsmanship and nearly two centuries of heritage. The campaign further highlights the versatility of the Sixteen Stone collection—once designed as a wedding band and now reimagined as a striking solitaire ring suited for everyday wear.
With Mikey Madison’s confident portrayal, Tiffany & Co. delivers a modern message: the most meaningful diamond purchase can be the one made for yourself.
