The valuation of diamonds is not based on market behavior or fluctuations. For this reason, it is often perceived as arbitrary, which influences the sentiment of potential investors. The most important measure of diamond value is their rarity. It is also important to note that each diamond is unique and exists only once in this form worldwide. Unlike conventional investments, the value of diamonds does not correlate with various market events. Compared to other assets, diamonds have significantly lower volatility – including gold, whose price is repeatedly subject to sharp fluctuations due to political unrest and other factors. Furthermore, investments in diamonds do not adversely affect stocks, bonds, and other conventional investments. Investment diamonds can therefore easily be managed as part of a broadly diversified overall portfolio.

Diamond Investments - Advantages over Gold

 

Investment diamonds share the same properties as gold. They are tangible assets and represent real value. Both therefore offer good protection against inflation.

 

In addition, diamonds have several other advantages over gold:

  • Historically stable price: The price of diamonds has increased much more consistently over time than the price of gold, which has repeatedly fluctuated sharply.
  • Promising projected value development: Diamonds are rare. Their mining volume will continue to decline in the future – likely with a strong positive impact on their value development.
  • Transparent purchases: GIA, HRD, and IGI are three renowned laboratories that certify the quality of diamonds.
  • Price transparency: The ADIAP™ – the official and freely accessible price list for diamonds, established in 2014 and updated monthly – helps to significantly facilitate corresponding investments and eliminate additional costs.

 

Ajediam Diamonds™ - Your competent partner for effective diamond investments

For a long time, it was difficult to invest effectively in diamonds. Sales to private investors were almost exclusively handled through jewelers. This resulted in a premium for each transaction – after all, jewelers also want to make money.

 

Today, the situation in the investment diamond market has changed for the better. ADIAP™ enables investors to purchase diamonds at wholesale prices based on the ADIAP™, thus benefiting significantly more than before from the advantages of diamonds as an investment.

Comparison of Historical Gold and Diamond Prices

 

Here you will find a long-term comparison of historical prices for gold and diamonds for the period from 1960 onwards. Important events are listed along with their year to demonstrate their influence on price trends.

 

In the medium and long term, investing in diamonds is an essential option as part of a sustainable and future-proof investment strategy. Over the past 60 years, the diamond market has shown a continuous and clear upward trend. The average increase in value of a one-carat D-color diamond with IF clarity during this period was approximately ten percent per year.

 

This is expected to continue in the future. On the one hand, China and other emerging markets are experiencing rapidly increasing demand for diamonds. On the other hand, diamonds are a rare and scarce commodity. Numerous existing mines are exhausted, and the discovery of new deposits is rare. This makes diamond mining increasingly expensive, which also drives up the value of these precious stones.
