Growing economic uncertainty and evolving savings patterns are encouraging Russian consumers to explore diamonds as a store of value, according to Alrosa, the world’s largest diamond producer by volume.
The company reported a significant rise in demand for investment-grade diamonds within the domestic market, with sales climbing 40% in 2025. In addition, transaction volumes for such stones increased by nearly 20% during the first nine months of the year, compared with the same period in 2024.
This shift reflects a broader trend of consumers moving toward tangible assets as traditional investment avenues become less accessible. Amid inflationary pressures and financial market volatility, diamonds are increasingly being seen as a tool for wealth preservation and portfolio diversification.
According to Alrosa, the strongest demand is concentrated in high-quality, certified diamonds, which are perceived as more liquid and dependable over the long term. These stones are gaining traction among buyers seeking stability and long-term value in an uncertain economic environment.
The trend highlights a changing investment mindset, where physical assets like diamonds are emerging as strategic alternatives to conventional financial instruments.
