Tips: Diamonds as an investment Rough and cut diamonds production is declining. No new diamond-rich kimberlites were discovered lately. Strong demand growth let us think about long uptrend. Stones of 4-5 cts are biggest gainers.
India has been facing liquidity problem in its diamond industry for the past six months, owing to tighter interest rates among other reasons. The US, Indias one of the largest markets, has been under tight leash of rising interest rates. Many companies import rough diamonds, cut, polish and sell wholesale. The final product is mostly re-exported and sold in the domestic market.
The US, which imports 52% of the world diamond, has not seen any growth this year, she said. DTC, which is the marketing arm of the De Beers group, supplies some 30-32% of its production directly to India. What smart investors must know about diamonds value.
Diamonds are convertible worldwide and are the only gems that adhere to international standards.
Be aware that any investment involves some degree of risk.
Do your research in the market before purchasing diamonds.
Avoid short term investment in diamonds. A clever investor may find that he can turn illiquidity to his advantage, but this will also require patience.
Be patient and wait until the right investment opportunity arises. Wait till the investment can be resold and liquidated profitably.
A smart investor should buy diamond jewelry which are out of fashion, and resell them when the demand is stronger.
If an investor wishes to work with a jeweler, he should be prepared to make rapid decisions, as buying opportunities may be transient.
Be aware about the huge difference between retail and wholesale prices.
