Frequently asked questions
This is one of the most common questions, and an important one. Some synthetic diamonds can only be detected with special equipment. That is why it is always crucial to seek out a diamond from a trustworthy source and to demand certification.
Absolutely. This will not decrease the value of the diamond. We have seen many diamonds passed on from generation to generation set in jewelry, and their value remains the same or increase over a longer period of time. This is not a depreciable type asset. Using it as jewelry does not diminishes value, like a used car for example.
Investing in the perfect physical commodity is one thing but liquidating it to enjoy the profits is quite another. Take care to research all of your options to resell your diamond for the most optimal returns. Asking for assistance from diamond experts takes you a long way as well, so make sure you surround yourself with the right people. Lastly, being patient is key. Never try to sell physical commodities for quick money. You will have a hard time finding the right buyer if you do and will end up selling it below its market value. Wait for the right buyer to come along and pay the proper price.
This question is a relevant one on two levels: ethics and price. Firstly, your investment diamond should always carry two certifications. The first will guarantee the value of your diamond by registering its grading at top facilities such as GIA, IGI or HRD. The second certification is the Kimberley-certificate, guaranteeing that your diamond is ethically clean to avoid investing in a conflict diamond. This will almost always be the case because of the Kimberley process, but be sure to check the certification none the less. Secondly, you need to know how close to the source you are buying.
There is only one way to ensure the quality of your diamond, and that is through its certifications. Nowadays, other expert advice and certificates are available in the market, but it is suggested to stick by the standard certification. In the case of diamonds, that certification is the GIA certification. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) grades your diamond based on the 4Cs-color, cut, carat weight, and clarity. It also provides a plotted diagram of the clarity characteristics of the diamond. A GIA report represents the most significant standard of reliability, integrity, and consistency for your diamond purchase.
What best describes the benefits of any one specific asset class is in essence its ‘supply and demand’ – its potential to sell for profit down the line.
In the past color diamonds were recognized as extremely rare items which only the most rich and famous managed to attain. However, as time progressed together with the wide spread of the Internet, fancy color diamonds slowly began to grow interest among collectors and diamond enthusiasts.
