In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, Cosmos Diamonds has partnered with Skyroot Aerospace to send India’s first lab-grown diamond jewel into space.

Valued at Rs 11 lakh that brings together Indian craftsmanship, innovation, and heritage.

Blending fashion, technology, and storytelling, the collaboration marks a defining moment for modern Indian luxury where jewellery is no longer just worn, but becomes part of history.

Alrosa Reports $130mn H1 Loss Amid Diamond Market Headwinds
The Company Cited Geopolitical and Macroeconomic Uncertainty, Western Sanctions, Shifting Jewellery Demand, Higher Gold Prices and Weaker Rough and Polished Diamond Sales As Key Challenges.
Russia’s state-controlled diamond miner Alrosa reported a 10.67 billion-ruble ($129.7 million) net loss in H1 2026, reversing a 39.03 billion-ruble profit a year earlier. Revenue plunged 36% to 74.16 billion rubles ($901.6 million), while gross profit fell to 4.62 billion rubles.
The company cited geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, Western sanctions, shifting jewellery demand, higher gold prices and weaker rough and polished diamond sales as key challenges. Its operating loss widened to 5 billion rubles, while the pre-tax loss reached 14.08 billion rubles.
Adding to the pressure, Russia’s 8% export duty on unprocessed rough diamonds above 0.45 carats, postponed to March 2027, is expected to cut Alrosa’s profit by around 3.12 billion rubles ($37.9 million), further clouding the miner’s outlook.
