The diamond business is alive thanks to the demand of millions of people who wish to enjoy diamond jewelry. Purchased for social distinction, emotional events, personal pleasure or as a safe haven, diamonds are a physical and tangible asset that last forever. Very small and easily portable diamonds are not governed by any registration requirements or regulations. You can enjoy wearing them as jewels thereby keeping their value unaltered over time.
Established Safe Haven:
Investment Diamonds are actually a worldwide trading currency. Diamond prices are fixed monthly and independently of the amount of world mines extractions by the two major players: De Beers and Alrosa. In New York is issued the Polished Diamond List that has become a worldwide reference for any diamond dealer to price diamonds. A diamond will always be exchangeable for money. The evaluation system of diamonds is entirely standardized and internationalized. Diamonds are independent of any stock exchange market, gold or any other speculative asset. You can only trade the diamond you own physically.
Diamonds are considered a luxury item and not a financial asset.
No registration is required.
The world demand for Investment Diamond is superior to the availability and is getting more and more rare. No new diamond mines have been recently discovered. Even if a new mine were to be discovered today it takes at least 10 years to make it productive. This means a high potential in the medium-long term for diamond prices to grow.
In the past 10 years (2005 - 2014), diamonds benefitted from an average price increase between 2.5 – 3.5% per year.
