5 carat Fancy Purplish Pink Radiant Cut Diamond Ring

THINK PINK! –  Aside from their obvious beauty, natural pink diamonds have grown tremendously popular among not only jewelry admirers, but investors as well.  Their unique combination of rarity and profit potential has attracted some of the world’s most seasoned investors.  Australia’s Argyle Mine, the leading producer of natural pink diamonds, has a depleting supply and an expected lifespan of only another few years.  For these reasons, we are speculating that the prices of natural pink diamonds will skyrocket upon the closing of the Argyle Mine, and to date, no other significant sources of of natural pink diamonds have been discovered.    Additionally over the last several years, pink diamonds have been selling at record highs at auction houses such as Christies and Sotheby’s, proof of their profit potential.

Just as they did with gold  over the last several years, many people now are cashing in their diamonds.  Whether it was a failed relationship or an inheritance, many people are looking for a place to sell their diamonds.  But selling your diamonds can be a very big headache if you do not do your research.

Unlike gold, diamonds are meticulously evaluated and a there are a number of characteristics to consider .  The resale price of your diamond can vary depending on it’s cut, color, clarity, and carat weight, as well as current market conditions.  The most important thing is to locate a credible jeweler that you can trust.  Check out their credentials, certifications, and their rating with the Better Business Bureau.  You may also find useful some other networks, such as yelp who are giving consumers a great outlet to share their personal experiences.

Do not expect to get what you paid for it.  Keep in mind that when you purchase the diamond you probably paid a paid full retail price, regardless of how the salesperson presented it.  While diamonds have historically gone up in price over the years the actual value of your diamond is in many cases nearly half of the retail price.  Just understand that a retail price and cash value of a diamond can be very different.

With their scarce appearance among diamond mines all over the world and their rising appeal through media exposure, colored diamonds are capturing the imagination with their fascinating gemology, history and skyrocketing prices. However, while some stones command a price worthy of its size, color and rarity, colored diamonds of all different sorts and variety are currently dominating world markets with their “more accessible price points”—overall, allowing any willing buyer through the doors of the world of ultimate “diamond desire.”

Captivated by their eternal charm of being valued among the rarest and costliest of gems, one might ask which colored gems are the rarest and why?

When dealers are eager to spend pinnacle amounts for a specific type of gem, it’s clear proof that “scarcity rules the day” in the gemology world. At Sotheby’s Hong Kong last October, a 6.04-carat, internally flawless fancy vivid blue diamond fetched $7,981,835, setting a new per-carat record of $1,321,590. The mystery of value in gems such as the record-setting vivid blue, can be simply explained within the gem’s natural color—ranging from blues and pinks, while additionally being assessed for the flawless clarity of the diamond.

 The market is consistently proving to be ready for bidders and sellers to polish and display these rare beauties out in the open, where a modified rectangular shape intense blue stone, weighing 13 carats could sale for $6 million to $8 million.

While the supply of pink diamonds is noticeably larger than that of blues, there is still, here too, a thinning amount of these precious stones available. For the past 20 years, the main source of deep pinks has been the Argyle mine of Australia, where the rich colors of these pink and purplish stones have made them vastly desirable, while their small supply expands their rarity and value. Argyle has been noted to be recently “running out of pinks” where each diamond is known to be a “collectible gem.”

            In the past year and half, a mere “dribble” of pink gems have been coming out to the diamond market, and as a result of not finding them at dependable and reliable sources, their price and value goes up.

Economic uncertainty is the phrase of the day. A variety of factors such as oil prices at record highs, real estate at record lows, stock market volatility and predictions of inflation are causing investors to think outside the box when it comes to diversification. Those who turned to gold and other precious metals have done exceptionally well over the past several years, but there’s a new kid on the block amount alternative investments: DIAMONDS.

But don’t rush out to Tiffany’s just yet. “Not all diamonds are suitable for investment…” explains Master Gemologist Gall Raiman, founder of Raiman Rocks in Calabasas California which, in addition to selling fine luxury diamonds, specializes in managing diamond-based investments for its high-net-worth clients. “Before we consider a diamond to be of investment –grade, it has to go through a rigorous qualification process that includes an analysis of its physical characteristics, its liquidity (i.e. its ability to sell quickly) and its availability to our clients at the right price.” According to Raiman, when you pay retail for a diamond you likelihood of making a profit is greatly diminished because of the dramatic mark-ups.  Even if you do manage to get a good price, it is unlikely that you will be buying a stone that is up to the standards of ‘investment-grade’ versus ‘luxury grade,’ unless you have the trained eye of a gemologist who specializes in investment diamonds. Finally, even if you manage to get the right diamond for the right price, you may not be able to sell it on your own without being raked over the coals.

For the above reasons, savvy diamond investors are looking to industry insiders to act as their investment managers- and for these investors the rewards have been extraordinary.

In addition to Raiman Rocks, other players getting in on the game include Diapason Commodities Management SA which listed a specialist investment fund, Diamond Circle Capital Plc, on the London Stock Exchange. Diamond Circle Capital is the first publicly listed fund to invest in rare colored and colorless diamonds, according to International Diamond and Jewelry Exchange’s Web Site. But unlike them, Raiman Rocks’ investment services are more intimate: Individual investors attend a private consultation to set their investment budgets and their profit targets. Raiman then personally researches and tailors a portfolio of diamonds to the investor using these private sources from around the world.  Raiman purchases the stones on behalf of this favorable pricing whenever the investor wishes to exit. All this is done for a simple management fee much like a typical wealth manager.

A particular unique aspect about diamond-based investments is their historical stability. “Our Investment Grade Diamonds are among a unique class of stone that has not gone down in value for over 25 years”, explains Raiman. “At the very worst, prices have leveled off for a period. This stability is quite astounding, when coupled with the strong profit potential and high liquidity that doesn’t tie up our clients’ capital for long periods of time.”
