De Beers 2007 Sales, Profit Loses Some Sparkle
Diamond giant De Beers experienced a 2.8% drop in sales last year to $7 billion while profits slid 7.1% to $486 million. The company said that production levels were flat with 2006 at 51.1 million carats.
There was little increase in demand for diamonds in the U.S, although independent high-end jewelry stores performed better than most, the company said. De Beers saw a greater increase in demand in China, the Middle East and India.
