ALROSA controls over 25% of the world’s rough diamond production, underscoring its critical role in the industry

In 2025, ALROSA remains the world’s leading supplier and backbone of the $100+ billion diamond industry, playing a pivotal role in supplying rough diamond resources. With operations centered primarily in the Russian Federation, notably the Yakutia region and the Arkhangelsk area, ALROSA’s influence extends across the entire value chain. Their exploration, mining, sorting, and sales set the standard for the global markets, making understanding ALROSA’s methodologies essential for all stakeholders and decision-makers invested in gemstones, natural resources, and luxury goods. 

In the world of rough diamond supply, the ALROSA diamond inspector is a critical pillar ensuring quality control and maintaining trust with buyers and the broader global market. These skilled professionals are responsible for the inspection stage, where the features of a rough diamond—size, shape, clarity, color, and potential cutting value are assessed and categorized before commercial sales or auctions.

The comprehensive work performed by an ALROSA diamond inspector ensures only the highest quality natural stones enter the international rough diamond trade, thus reinforcing ALROSA’s standing as a trusted name in ethical gemstones.
