The road ahead US tariffs remain a challenge for gemstone traders. For Belmont, tariffs on India – its main buyer of rough emeralds – is a major hurdle. US-India negotiations, however, are ongoing and Ribeiro expressed optimism that India could secure an exemption. The issue also underpins the need to explore new opportunities, strengthen ties across Asia and Europe and build greater resilience against regional trade fluctuations. “Diversification should be a strategic priority for the gemstone industry. In this way, Belmont can mitigate the risks of regional dependency while strengthening its global positioning as a reliable supplier of premium, traceable emeralds,” noted Ribeiro. While the US remains an important market, Belmont is expanding in Southeast Asia and India, where demand for Brazilian emeralds is rising and consumers are becoming more discerning and knowledgeable. “This sentiment is shared by local gemmological laboratories in China, which have been issuing more emerald reports,” the company official said. “Asia is partial to mid- to high-quality emeralds with good transparency in big sizes.” Technology and sustainability are also key strategies. Belmont is investing heavily in innovation while reinforcing partnerships with brands that share its values. It joined the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) in 2025. Meanwhile, Belmont Mine, which runs entirely on renewable energy from the company’s 1.5MW solar power plant, continues to set an industry benchmark. Belmont’s other initiatives include land rehabilitation, biodiversity preservation, efficient resource management and community engagement through training and education. Despite global uncertainties, Ribeiro maintains a positive outlook for 2026 as demand for coloured gemstones sustains momentum. “Belmont's long-term commitment to ethical practices positions the company to lead this evolution, ensuring both market resilience and continued global recognition for Brazilian emeralds,” he remarked. 巴西祖母绿矿商Belmont致力提升全球对祖母绿的 需求。祖母绿是产自巴西的珍贵宝石,这种传统 瑰宝一直备受欢迎,在2025年保持稳健增长,皆 因消费者对稀有性与产地溯源日益重视,以及受益于当前 流行的时尚趋势。 Belmont主席Marcelo Ribeiro表示,巴西是优质祖母绿的 主要产地,其需求由印度和欧洲两大市场驱动。与此同时, 美国仍是高端彩宝首饰的重要消费市场。 Ribeiro指出,可追溯的高品质祖母绿在2025年最为畅 销,因其迎合注重道德采购的品牌与消费者需求。他补充 道:“然而,我们仍面对一些挑战,包括市场波动、物流成本, 加上在产量扩张中推行负责任开采实践的必要性。” 供需向好 由于持续投资采矿与地质勘探,以及高效开采,Belmont 的祖母绿产量保持稳定。其出口表现同样强劲,反映出市场 对可持续开采且可追溯祖母绿的需求有增无减。 Belmont将约95%的祖母绿原石出口至印度进行切割和 抛光,其余5%则用于特别项目,包括为战略合作伙伴提供本 地切割服务,以及与追求完整矿源到市场可追溯性的高端 珠宝商展开合作。 Belmont于2025年在曼谷举行的两场独家招标会,成功 售出全部拍品,充分展现了市场对巴西祖母绿的殷切需求, 尤其是色泽鲜艳、净度优良的宝石。 Ribeiro说:“从低档次的原石到面向高级珠宝商的顶级 祖母绿,所有等级的祖母绿均备受追捧。市场整体情绪乐 观,参与者认可Belmont招标模式的稳定性和可靠性。” 该公司补充道,目前祖母绿价格较疫情前水平已上涨30%。 前景乐观 美国关税仍是宝石贸易商面临的挑战。对Belmont而言, 印度是祖母绿原石的主要买家,所以针对印度的关税构成 重大障碍。不过,美印谈判仍在进行中,Ribeiro对此持乐观 态度,认为印度有望获得豁免。 这一问题也凸显出探索新机遇、加强亚欧合作纽带,以 及提升抵御区域贸易波动能力的重要性。 Ribeiro强调:“多元化发展应成为宝石行业的战略重点。 通过这种方式,Belmont既能降低依赖某些区域的风险,又 能巩固其作为优质可溯源祖母绿可靠供应商的国际地位。” 尽管美国仍是重要市场,Belmont正积极拓展东南亚和 印度业务。这些地区对巴西祖母绿的需求持续上升,加上消 费者对宝石的知识不断提高,使他们对宝石有所追求。 Ribeiro表示:“中国本土宝石鉴定实验室也持相同观点, 它们发出的祖母绿鉴定报告数量正不断增加。亚洲市场偏 爱大尺寸、透明度佳的中高端品质祖母绿。” 技术与可持续发展亦是核心战略。Belmont在创新领域 投入巨资,同时强化与理念相契合的品牌伙伴关系。该公司 于2025年加入负责任珠宝业委员会。 与此同时,Belmont矿场仅利用自家1.5兆瓦太阳能发电 站提供的可再生能源运营,为行业树立标杆。该公司的其他 举措包括土地修复、生物多样性保护、高效资源管理,还有 通过培训教育开展社区互动。 纵使全球局势充满不确定性,彩宝需求仍保持增长势 头,Ribeiro对2026年持乐观展望。他说:“Belmont对道德实 践的长期承诺,使其能够引领这场变革,既确保市场韧性, 同时使巴西祖母绿持续获得全球认可。”
