Diamonds have always been the symbol of love. More and more investors who are looking for a stable investment with a potentially high profit, fall for the charms of the diamond. The question then, is whether investing in diamond is a smart move or rather a foolish game. The volatility in the stock market fosters the search for relatively stable investments. Those who have a budget to invest, focus in recent years on hard assets that can be enjoyed, such as art and jewelry. For this, investing in diamond is a natural alternative.

Until recently diamonds, as an investment, had disappeared from the radar. The lack of price transparency and a liquid trading market proved to be the main reasons for the declining interest to invest in diamond. The difficulties in setting uniform quality standards for diamonds also contributed to a reduced investor interest.

Worldwide, investing in diamond has been stimulated by companies. In addition, the demand increased. With the development of diamond-focused listed funds, they now try to repeat the past success of gold and silver. “Each stone is unique”, says Brent Fykes, senior investment partner at GenSpring, a multifamily office for individuals with a minimum of $ 20 million to invest. “One gram gold is one gram gold, but that is not the case with diamonds”, according to Fykes.

The buzz around investing in diamond also increased by the incredible amounts offered at auctions for both rough and polished gemstones. For example, the diamond price of the Pink Star broke all records. The hunger for diamond that is increasing worldwide and the limited mining activities facilitates supply and demand. Of course, anyone who wants to investment in diamonds enjoys the benefits of this.

The research company Wealth-X reported that the price of rough diamond rose with almost one third since 2005. The supply declined while the demand increased. Those who want to jump on the bandwagon to invest in diamond must pay attention to 4 principles: price transparency, quality assurance, transaction costs and liquidity. Before you begin investing in diamond, you must understand how each one of these aspects has an influence on the price. If your knowledge of diamonds and the diamond market is limited, then investing in diamond is a foolish game.
