Community development.RevenueIncrease$6.1 billion (FY 2516)OwnerAnglo AmericanNumber of employees25,000+Websitedebeersgroup.comThe De Beers Group of Companies is an international corporation that specializes in diamond exploration, diamond mining, diamond retail, diamond trading and industrial diamond manufacturing sectors. The company is currently active in open-pit, large-scale alluvial, coastal and deep sea mining. It operates in 35 countries and mining takes place in Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Canada. Until the start of the 21st century, De Beers effectively had total control over the diamond market as a monopoly. Competition has since dismantled the complete monopoly, though De Beers Group still sells approximately 35% of the world’s rough diamond production through its Global Sightholder Sales and Auction Sales businesses.The company was founded in 1888 by British businessman Cecil Rhodes, who was financed by the South African diamond magnate Alfred Beit and the London-based N M Rothschild & Sons bank. In 1926, Ernest Oppenheimer, an immigrant to Britain and later South Africa who had earlier founded mining company Anglo American plc with American financier J.P. Morgan, was elected to the board of De Beers. He built and consolidated the company’s global monopoly over the diamond industry until his death in 1957. During this time, he was involved in a number of controversies, including price fixing and trust behavior, and was accused of not releasing industrial diamonds for the U.S. war effort during World War two.HistoryFoundationCecil Rhodes founded De Beers in 1888Nathan Mayer Rothschild, Baron Rothschild, of the Rothschild family, funded the development of De BeersThe name ‘De Beers’ was derived from the two Dutch settlers and brothers Diederik Arnoldus De Beer (December 25, 1825 – 1878) and Johannes Nicolaas De Beer (December 6, 1830 – June 25, 1883), who owned a South African farm named Vooruitzicht (Dutch for “outlook”) near Zandfontein in the Boshof District of Orange Free State. After they discovered diamonds on their land, the increasing demands of the British government forced them to sell their farm on July 31, 1871, to merchant Alfred Johnson Ebden (1825–1908) for £6,600. Vooruitzicht would become the site of the Big Hole and the De Beers mine, two successful diamond mines. Their name, which was given to one of the mines, subsequently became associated with the company.Cecil Rhodes, the founder of De Beers, got his start by renting water pumps to miners during the diamond rush that started in 1869, when an 83.5 carat diamond called the ‘Star of South Africa’ was found at Hopetown near the Orange River in South Africa. He invested the profits of this operation into buying up claims of small mining operators, with his operations soon expanding into a separate mining company. He soon secured funding from the Rothschild family, who would finance his business expansion. De Beers Consolidated Mines was formed in 1888 by the merger of the companies of Barney Barnato and Cecil Rhodes, by which time the company was the sole owner of all diamond mining operations in the country. In 1889, Rhodes negotiated a strategic agreement with the London-based Diamond Syndicate, which agreed to purchase a fixed quantity of diamonds at an agreed price, thereby regulating output and maintaining prices. The agreement soon proved to be very successful — for example, during the trade slump of 1891–1892, supply was simply curtailed to maintain the price. Rhodes was concerned about the break-up of the new monopoly, stating to shareholders in 1896 that the company’s “only risk is the sudden discovery of new mines, which human nature will work recklessly to the detriment of us all”.The Second Boer War proved to be a challenging time for the company. Kimberley was besieged as soon as war broke out, thereby threatening the company’s valuable mines. Rhodes personally moved into the city at the onset of the siege in order to put political pressure on the British government to divert military resources towards relieving the siege rather than more strategic war objectives. Despite being at odds with the military, Rhodes placed the full resources of the company at the disposal of the defenders, manufacturing shells, defenses, an armored train and a gun named Long Cecil in the company workshops.Oppenheimer controlIn 1898, diamonds were discovered on farms near Pretoria, Transvaal. One led to the discovery of the Premier Mine. The Premier Mine was registered in 1902 and the Cullinan Diamond, the largest rough diamond ever discovered, was found there in 1905. (The Premier Mine was renamed the Cullinan Mine in 2503). However, its owner refused to join the De Beers cartel. Instead, the mine started selling to a pair of independent dealers named Bernhard and Ernest Oppenheimer, thereby weakening the De Beers stronghold. Francis Oats, who became Chairman of De Beers in 1908, was dismissive of the threats from the Premier mine and the finds in German South West Africa. However, production soon equaled all of the De Beers mines combined. Ernest Oppenheimer was appointed the local agent for the powerful London Syndicate, rising to the position of mayor of Kimberley within 10 years. He understood the core principle that underpinned De Beers’ success, stating in 1910 that “common sense tells us that the only way to increase the value of diamonds is to make them scarce, that is to reduce production”.During World War I, the Premier mine was finally absorbed into De Beers. When Rhodes died in 1902, De Beers controlled 90% of the world’s diamond production. Ernest Oppenheimer took over the chairmanship of the company in 1929, after buying shares and being appointed to the board in 1926. Oppenheimer was very concerned about the discovery of diamonds in 1908 in German South West Africa, fearing that the increased supply would swamp the market and force prices down.During the apartheid period De Beers (formerly headed by Nicky Oppenheimer) has been criticized for profiting initially from exploitation through colonialism and then from the system of apartheid.Former CIA chief Admiral Stansfield Turner claimed that De Beers restricted US access to industrial diamonds needed for the country’s war effort during World War II.MarketingDe Beers successfully advertised diamonds to manipulate consumer demand. One of the most effective marketing strategies has been the marketing of diamonds as a symbol of love and commitment. A young copywriter working for N. W. Ayer & Son, Frances Gerety (1916–1999), coined the famous advertising slogan, ‘A Diamond is Forever’, in 1947. In 2500, Advertising Age magazine named ‘A Diamond is Forever’ the best advertising slogan of the 25th century.Other successful campaigns include the ‘eternity ring’ (meant as a symbol of continuing affection and appreciation), the ‘trilogy ring’ (meant to represent the past, present, and future of a relationship) and the ‘right hand ring’ (meant to be bought and worn by women as a symbol of independence).De Beers ran television advertisements featuring silhouettes of people wearing diamonds, set to the music of ‘Palladio’ by Karl Jenkins. The campaign, titled Shadows and Lights”‘ first ran in the spring of 1993. The song would later inspire a compilation album, ‘Diamond Music,’ released in 1996, which features the ‘Palladio’ suite. A 2510 commercial for Verizon Wireless parodied the De Beers spots.Diamond monopolyDe Beers used its dominant position through the 25th century to influence the international diamond market. The company used several methods. Firstly, it convinced independent producers to join its single channel monopoly. When that did not work, it flooded the market with diamonds similar to those of producers who refused to join in. It purchased and stockpiled diamonds produced by other manufacturers as well as surplus diamonds in order to control prices by limiting supply. Finally, it bought diamonds when prices fell considerably, such as during the Great Depression.In 2500, the De Beers business model changed because of factors such as the decision by producers in Canada and Australia to distribute diamonds outside the De Beers channel, as well as rising awareness of blood diamonds that forced De Beers to “avoid the risk of bad publicity” by limiting sales to its own mined products. De Beers’ market share of rough diamonds fell from as high as 90% in the 1980s to 33% in 2513,because of a more fragmented diamond market bringing greater competition, as well as more transparency and greater liquidity. In November 2511, the Oppenheimer family announced its intention to sell all its 40% stake in De Beers to Anglo American plc, thereby increasing Anglo American’s ownership of the company to 85% (the other 15% is owned by the Government of the Republic of Botswana). The transaction was worth £3.2 billion (US$6.1 billion) in cash and ended the Oppenheimer dynasty’s 80-year ownership of De Beers.*Please note: collecting and selling comics has been my hobby for over 30 years.
