Global Diamond Consortium Announces Agreement To Acquire Anglo American’s Stake In De Beers In Landmark $1 Billion Transaction
Consortium Commits An Additional $500 Million Post-Acquisition Capital Injection and Enters Strategic Dialogues With The Government Of Botswana.
The Global Diamond Consortium, a strategic partnership comprising the governments of Namibia and Angola alongside leading global diamond traders, today announced an agreement to acquire Anglo American’s equity stake in De Beers.
Key Transaction Terms & Reinvestment Strategy
Under the terms of the agreement:
- Initial Consideration: The consortium will pay $750 million upfront upon closing.
- Deferred Consideration: An additional $250 million will be paid in subsequent installments, bringing the total transaction value to $1 billion.
- Post-Acquisition Capital: The consortium has committed to injecting approximately $500 million in fresh capital directly into De Beers following the acquisition to stabilize operations and fuel long-term operational initiatives.
Navigating Market Dynamics
The acquisition marks a pivotal turning point for De Beers, which has faced significant broader market downturns in recent years. After reaching a peak valuation of $17.6 billion in 2001, De Beers’ reported book value adjusted to $2.3 billion earlier this year. The consortium’s capital injection aims to position the iconic diamond producer for renewed stability and sustainable value creation across the global supply chain.
Strategic Regional Collaboration
Central to the transition is the consortium’s commitment to producer-nation equity and strategic alignment. In addition to the direct participation of the governments of Namibia and Angola, the consortium is actively negotiating with the Government of the Republic of Botswana.
Botswana, which currently holds a 15% stake in De Beers, has expressed a formal intent to increase its ownership share as part of the strategic restructuring.

Celebrating Perfectly Imperfect Friendships With Natural Diamonds – De Beers
A Thoughtfully Curated Natural Diamond Bracelet Collection Celebrating Friendships That Thrive Through Individuality, Connection, and Timeless Bonds
The best friendships aren’t built on being the same, they’re built on celebrating what makes each of you different. One is the planner, the other the spontaneous one. One speaks in long voice notes, the other replies with memes. Yet somehow, it always works. It’s these beautifully imperfect bonds that deserve to be celebrated.
The Bestie Bracelet Collection honours these unique friendships through natural diamonds that symbolise strength and enduring connection. Thoughtfully designed as complementary pieces, each bracelet reflects the bond between besties who may not always match but always belong together.
Because real friendships deserve natural diamonds.
The Complementary Link Set
They say opposites attract and best friends prove it every day. One bracelet pairs bold, sculptural links with delicate chain details, while the other mirrors the story in its own distinctive way. A brilliant natural diamond sits at the heart of each design, reminding you that despite your differences, you’re connected by something timeless. Made to be worn apart but always thought of together, these bracelets celebrate friendships that are balanced, complementary and beautifully authentic.
The Aligning Rhythms Set
Some friendships simply fit. Designed as two complementary bracelets that align when brought together, this set celebrates the idea that the best relationships aren’t about being identical; they’re about bringing out the best in each other. Set with natural diamonds, no two exactly alike, the bracelets reflect the unique qualities each friend brings to the relationship. Individually elegant and even more meaningful together, they are a timeless celebration of a bond that feels effortlessly complete.
The Diamond Cipher
Every friendship has a language only the two of friends understand. Inspired by Morse Code, this bracelet uses alternating baguette and round unique diamonds to create a hidden message, subtle enough to go unnoticed, meaningful enough to last forever. Just like the bond it celebrates, every natural diamond is one of a kind, shaped by nature over billions of years, making them as timeless as the friendship they represent. Minimal design yet rich in sentiment, it’s made for the friend who knows exactly what you’re thinking with just one look.
The Eternal Circle
Some bonds never need words. Designed as two complementary bracelets, each carries one half of a timeless circle, one adorned with pavé-set natural diamonds, the other centered around a single bezel-set diamond. Distinct on their own, complete in meaning together, they celebrate a friendship that’s constant, effortless and enduring. Like real diamonds, whose extraordinary journey spans billions of years, some connections are made to last a lifetime and beyond.
Because no matter the distance, true friendships always come full circle & are truly valuable.
