De Beers will present Voyage Through the Diamond Realm at India Art Fair 2026 in New Delhi from February 5–8, marking its India debut to position natural diamonds within art and culture.

In order to meet the challenges of the diamond industry head on, De Beers has devised a multi-pronged strategy – the major steps include upping investment in marketing, participating in the Luanda Accord, developing a range of category campaigns, collaborating with key retail partners to grow demand, and investing in branded marketing programmes for its own retail businesses, says David Johnson, VP, Global External Communications, De Beers Group, in a conversation with Suneeta Kaul.

The Council is looking forward to the BTA with the US, and should that take longer than expected, it will take all necessary measures in coordination with the government and stakeholders to support exports, and ensure continued growth, says Sabyasachi Ray, Executive Director, GJEPC, in a conversation with Suneeta Kaul.

The recent imposition of steep tariffs by the Trump administration on diamonds imported from India has sent ripples across the US diamond jewellery sector. India being the primary supplier of polished diamonds to America, the world’s largest consumer market, the tariffs have caused supply chain disruptions, and are likely to lead to rising product costs. Prices are expected to go up, once the existing inventory depletes, unless a deal is reached between the US and India. Suneeta Kaul speaks with Paul Zimnisky, renowned diamond industry analyst, to gain insights into the fallout of the tariffs, and how they are reshaping buying behaviour and pricing strategies in the US.
