Investing in diamonds
Due to their characteristics and scarcity, diamonds have always represented a safe investment.
Its rarity gives it a high value per weight ratio. Indeed, a 1 carat diamond is 0.2 grams and can have the same value as 1kg of gold bullion. As is the case for gold, the value of diamonds rises naturally and regularly depending on the availability of resources.
Diamonds cannot be damaged. They do not require any special precautions and are generally kept in safes and strong boxes.
All diamonds increase in value over the years, but only diamonds of exceptional quality really stand out in terms of increased value.
Here, then, are the quality criteria to be met by diamonds representing a good long-term investment:
Diamond weight: 1 carat and over
Shape: round brilliant
Diamond Colour: D through F
Clarity: IF / LC (pure stones) through VVS2
Proportions, symmetry and polish: Very Good or Excellent
Fluorescence: None (zero) or Slight / Faint (mild)
Certificates: GIA, HRD, IGI
Diamonds offer lots of advantages: such as secure investments, donations and successions. Diamonds are tradable all around the world.
