Until recently, the diamond industry with a fairly uniform tariff system, which was practically the vertically integrated monopoly, i.e. manufacturers, distributors and dealers were majority owned by the same company does. In fact, it was not the case, but also the diamond dealers, the most independent and rebellious, jewelers, and carpenters were (and sometimes still is) such high fees paid for diamonds in beers of the world’s largest provider DeBeers why nothing really changed and is not to change in diamond prices, at least those who decide to synthetic diamonds, to lower their prices and destroy the industry to create diamond.

Conglomerate DeBeers is the largest producer of diamonds, trading and Distribution Company in the world. Also happen to be the oldest. The company was founded by an Englishman named Cecil Rhodes, who founded his company in 1888 and created a monopoly on the price of diamonds and diamonds by negotiating an agreement with the London merchants who buy a fixed quantity of diamonds prices of Rhodes. However, the diamond in 1902 the monopoly was broken.

In 1902, a plethora of established competition and the owner of the mine Oppenheimer family, instead of Rhodes, the monopoly of DeBeers diamonds destroyed. However, still maintained by De Beers, its dominance and influence on the prices of diamond marketing using monopolistic tactics and managed to retain a market share of 80% of the diamond market. Consequently, prices are now said to control everything. Some tactics are flooding the market with features identical to those of its competitors, thus ensuring a complaint before the bankruptcy and the purchase of other manufacturers; it was the best offer, including the very practical unethical once released De Beers as the greedy, ruthless society that time suspended.

In 2000 the monopoly of De Beers has finally put an end to their tactics were as suppliers of diamonds grown tired of their dishonesty, and decided to sell the diamonds on their own market or by other companies. Diamond producers in Africa, in particular, they have basically DeBeers and driven from their country to develop their own local diamond industry. In addition, luxury goods require the other, putting the diamond in the back seat. They shall amend its business model and now only works with supply and demand, not by hoarding and exploitation.

With the change in De Beers’ business model, its profitability has increased, although its market share declined. DeBeers still mining in Africa, but the diamond mines and are very limited, especially in working with governments to negotiate and to force them to treat their workers fairly and not exploited diamond miners more. Because DeBeers is one of the oldest diamond company in the world but also one of the most respected. This means that the prices of diamonds are often the base price for most diamonds. But even that is by the popularity of the Rapa port list, which gave the value of the diamonds to see what, if his influence is on the De Beers diamond prices in the foreseeable future are also eroded.
