Press release – ALROSA, the world’s largest diamond miner, announces diamond sales results for June and six months of 2018.

With the 2018 World Cup taking place in its home country through mid-July, Alrosa is staying on the ball.
Alrosa director of sales Evgeny Agureev, who joined the company last August, spoke to JCK last week at the JCK Las Vegas show.
