Buying your first diamond is a smart addition to your portfolio but finding the right one for your budget can be tricky. Not everyone has the same high capital to spend on investments. What is the lowest diamond price that is still worth investing in? How do I determine my budget for an investment diamond?
When searching for the perfect diamond to add to your portfolio, you must take into account all factors determining and influencing value. Although all diamonds hold high sentimental value and are one of a kind, not all of them are equally suited for resale after purchasing them. Investment value is most optimal from 1 carat and up. Smaller diamonds are not ruled out but should be purchased in packets rather than on their own for higher resale value. The lowest diamond price which still results in a lucrative diamond investment hovers around €5000, or US$5900, depending on market behaviour.
Other quality factors should be taken into account with care. Too low a value and you will have difficulties finding a buyer when liquidating. Too high a value and the optimal price-quality barrier is broken because of the rarity of the stone.
Determining how much budget to invest into diamonds is the same as for any other investment. Take care to keep an amount of liquid assets aside to cover possible unforeseen circumstances or sudden costly opportunities. When you have decided on an amount to keep aside, determine your investor profile and find out which investments suit you. Make sure to never invest in something that appears lucrative, but with which you feel uncomfortable. A smart portfolio is a diversified one, so smartly allocate your assets over several smart investments.
When searching for an additional, alternative investment, always see how much capital you have left in the budget you allocated for investments. Never take money out of the amount you set aside.
When determining your investment budget, take care never to venture outside of it. The liquid amount of money you keep on hand is there for a good reason and should not be touched for any investment. What if my budget is too low for the lowest diamond price? Then it is best to put your purchase on hold until you acquire more investment capital or until the market price is just right to fit your existing budget. Never choose a lower quality diamond because it fits your budget, since its quality will not be high enough to serve as an investment.
