Diamond jewellery demand by US consumers hit a record level of US$39 billion in 2015, according to industry insight data published today by The De Beers Group of Companies.

Demand by US consumers increased five per cent on 2014 levels as they benefited from the sustained economic recovery, higher levels of job creation and wage growth. The US remains the world’s largest market for diamond jewellery sales and increased its share of global polished diamond demand from 42 per cent to 45 per cent in 2015.
