Why did he do it? Because he could. And when you have that kind of money floating about, it must be tempting to shock the world. It didn’t go well. The messaging system that, unlike Facebook and WhatsApp, was favoured by an educated elite has halved in value with Musk himself pegging its current worth at $20bn.

But the price of these once rare gems has fallen 30% since 2022.</p><p>The technology around factory made stones has improved to the point where even a jeweller with an eyeglass can’t tell them apart.</p><p>After all, it’s just carbon compressed under heat: millions of years in the earth or hours in a machine that can make an endless number with no licence, no royalties to the state and a very small workforce.</p><p>Depending on the setting, the difference in price can be a factor of four or five.</p><p>In 2018, just two percent of engagement rings in the US held a factory stone; today it’s close to half.</p><h2>Diamond value dropping</h2><p>Anglo American values the de Beers company at around $7.6bn, conceding that much of this is “goodwill”, a fancy term for client loyalty.</p><p>But for fiancés it seems size does count, and, with the same money, the ring can now sport a bigger diamond.</p><p>Anyone who’s tried to sell their jewellery knows how little it can be worth.</p><p>At retail, a ring includes profit and mark-up for the store but also the work of a designer and those who cut and polished the stone. And VAT on top.</p><p>When you sell, chances are you’ll get the weight of the ring itself depending on the price of gold, and a value on the stone without all the overheads pushing up the price.</p><p>As a token of love it’s a winner. As an investment, no so much.</p><h2>History repeats itself</h2><p>We’ve been through this cycle before. Folks who put their savings into buying a video library were onto a good thing until Netflix and YouTube killed the market.</p><p>Marilyn Monroe posed in mink and other furs but values have changed and few want to be seen in the skin of an animal (though shoes and belts are fine).</p><p>Diamonds are measured in carats and a third of the world’s supply comes out of Russia.</p><p>Next is Botswana with around half the carats but a greater dollar value because of quality.</p><div class="kInstance-Body_embed-content"><article class="CB_i " itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Article"><div class="CBI_image" itemprop="image"><img src="https://biz-file.com/c/2411/756668-120x120.jpg?5" data-src="https://biz-file.com/c/2411/756668-120x120.jpg?5" class="lazyload" width="120" height="120" alt="Sibanye recently secured a €500m green financing loan for the Keliber lithium project" loading="lazy"></div><div class="CBI_body"><h5 class="CBI_title" itemprop="headline"><a href="/article/sibanye-stillwater-diversity-play-off-to-mixed-start-700742a" >Sibanye-Stillwater diversity play off to mixed start</a></h5><p class="content-item_attrib"><a class="jxPHOH" href="/Profile/LindseySchutters" itemprop="author">Lindsey Schutters</a>  5 Nov 2024<a class="m-icon m-icon_share d-mobile-only" aria-label="Share Icon" data-x="mobileShare" data-url="https://www.bizcommunity.com//article/sibanye-stillwater-diversity-play-off-to-mixed-start-700742a" data-title="Sibanye-Stillwater diversity play off to mixed start" data-text="Sibanye-Stillwater diversity play off to mixed start" href="http://www.sharethis.com/share?publisher=54869764-0f12-4063-99cd-a49c07279e8a&url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.bizcommunity.com%2f%2farticle%2fsibanye-stillwater-diversity-play-off-to-mixed-start-700742a&title=Could+De+Beers+be+the+next+Twitter%3f&img=https%3a%2f%2fbiz-file.com%2fc%2f2411%2f758558-1200x624.jpg%3f5&summary=Anglo+American+is+in+a+precarious+position+with+its+De+Beers+ownership+and+may+be+looking+for+the+highest+bidder%26%23x2026%3b" target="_blank"></a><a class="m-icon m-icon_share jxTip" data-target="j-sharePopup" data-x="mobileShare:{'on':'hover','delay':0,'position':'below','transition':'none','showLoading':true}" data-url="/ContentShare.aspx?ct=1&ci=253152&ajax=1" data-title="Sibanye-Stillwater diversity play off to mixed start" data-share-href="https://www.bizcommunity.com//article/sibanye-stillwater-diversity-play-off-to-mixed-start-700742a" href="/ContentShare.aspx?ct=1&ci=253152" target="_blank" aria-label="shareIcon"></a></p></div></article></div><p>Diamonds make just one percent of Russian GDP. In Botswana they account for most of the export revenue and the industry is mostly in the hands of De Beers.</p><p>And there’s the danger. A multi-billionaire could ignore the falling diamond price to own both the brand and the economy of Botswana.</p><h2>Diversity is strength</h2><p>As Richard Branson has done with Virgin — which began as a record label — a name once established can be attached to any product.</p><p>For Virgin there’s now an airline, a cell-phone network and a credit card.</p><p>Maybe in the right hands, the same could be done with de Beers: jeans, champagne, sunglasses, all sold at a premium. Elon Musk could take it in a flash.</p><p>But what if it landed in the wrong hands?</p><p>Iran for example would then have enormous sway over Botswana which is also the headquarters of the regional Southern African Development Community (SADC) group of countries that includes all of southern Africa plus Tanzania.</p><p>An unsanctioned Russian oligarch with links to President Vladimir Putin or a regional hub for China.</p><p>India would be in the market since it controls much of the diamond cutting trade, but Pakistan could buy De Beers merely to annoy a neighbour for which it has little affection.</p><p>Less risky perhaps would be Taiwan seeking the kudos of holding the De Beers name, or Turkey which has a growing presence in Africa.</p><h2>Limiting damage</h2><p>Of course, Anglo American would have the right not to sell if it thought the buyer was unsound. But with diamonds tumbling as they are, it could be the only offer.</p><p>And Botswana would have the right to rescind the mining licence, but that would damage the good name they have as among the most reliable places in Africa to keep your money.</p><p>If mined diamonds continue on this downward spiral, and Anglo doesn’t find a buyer, there’s a risk they might have to simply walk away.</p></div><a name="contact"></a></div><div class="instance-footer instance-box-mt"><div class="kInstance-Navigation"><div id="jNavigationBlock" class="instance-nav-buttons"></div></div><div
