The Founder
Saïd Benouareth
Founder & Owner
An Algerian entrepreneur in precious metals, Saïd Benouareth built BENOUARETH GOLD AND DIAMONDS on a simple conviction: African gold and diamonds deserve a trading partner that combines local roots with international standards.
He runs the company from Freetown, in the heart of one of the richest mining regions in the world, and stays close to the material: lots are weighed and valued under his eye, and the price is settled in front of the seller. That direct involvement is why what is described matches what is delivered.
Beyond the day-to-day trading, he is building the group's commercial presence in Africa and the Middle East, where most of its buyers are.
