(IDEX Online) - ALROSA has launched a collection of 32 round diamonds weighing 0.3 carats each named after the countries participating in the World Cup.
All the diamonds are high quality, D to F color and VVS2 to IF clarity, mined in Russia and cut by ALROSA's subdivision, DIAMONDS ALROSA "in keeping with the best traditions of the world-famous Russian cut". The diamonds are being offered for sale and can be personalized with an engraving associated with the World Cup, or with a selected name. ALROSA will issue a special-design official certificate confirming characteristics of each diamond. "Russia produces one-third of all rough diamonds in the world and is famous for its polished diamonds, which are yet another symbol of our country," said Pavel Vinikhin, Director of DIAMONDS ALROSA. "We decided to provide the fans with the opportunity to take a tiny piece of Russia with them or to mark national teams and symbolic victories important for them not only with football anthems, but also with a unique diamond that will remain with them forever. The collections of stones have been selected so that they are affordable for a wide range of fans. Optionally, we can form sets from them."
