Russia to continue buying diamonds through state fund in 2025
The Russian budget for 2025-2027 has set aside $1.55 billion for the purchase of precious metals and gems.
In a bid to help jewelers increase their profits, diamond manufacturer Hasenfeld-Stein recently announced the launch of its diamond re-cutting program. The web-based program enables retail jewelers to send stones above 0.60 points for re-cutting into GIA triple excellent or AGS 000s diamonds.
