ZURICH, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Richemont CFR.S sees the importance of natural precious stones for its collections, CEO Nicolas Bos said on Friday, but declined to comment on the Cartier jewellery owner potentially joining a group to buy diamond miner De Beers.

"We have absolutely no comment on the various current or future management," Bos told reporters when asked if Richemont had joined a consortium to buy De Beers from controlling shareholder Anglo American AAL.L

Still, natural precious stones remained very important for historic jewelers, like Richemont's Van Cleef & Arpels, Buccellati, and Cartier, Bos said.

"They are very, very important components of our jewelry collections and will remain so in the future," Bos said.
