Investment Diamonds
In the 1970’s Financial experts could no longer ignore diamonds as an investment. Between 1928 and 1975, the price of gold increased by 500% while the diamond price for the same time span, increased by 4000%. Since all traditional investments carried considerable losses at that time, the diamond became the investor’s best friend.
Unfortunately, we are once again facing these times of recession and uncertainty…worldwide!
Though the numbers depicted above are very compelling, there are still many so called “specialists and experts” that will reject diamonds as possible investments. The reason for that is missing expert knowledge in the areas of Gemmology, Jewellery Business, International Economy and History.
If you believe that you should have part of your investment in very mobile goods, then nothing can compare with the diamond. Nothing besides gold (comparatively far too heavy and large) and diamonds are known as international currencies. Nothing has higher monetary value in a small physical form. A one carat diamond is only 0.2 grams in weight and 6mm in size, but can represent (according to the quality) a value of $ 30,000.00. Can you imagine the space you need to transport an equal sum in cash? Not to mention the legal point of view! Wearing your own jewellery is in most countries legal and tax or/and duty free.
Naturally, you should not invest 100% of your assets, in diamonds. The rules of thirds apply here as well:
1/3 in fixed assets, bonds etc. etc.
1/3 in real estate
1/3 in mobile (easy to move and sell) investments, such as the DIAMOND, which has under all material asset, by far largest advantages.
- Protection from inflation and bankruptcies (Banks)
- Protection from stock exchange crashes and currency reforms
- Anonymity (no registration of the investor, no national access)
- Worldwide convertibility
- Recognized worldwide as top investment and international currency
- No maintenance cost!
The argument:
Prejudice: Diamonds have no reliable indicators on price lists and sale price lists comparable with the stock exchange rates of precious metals.
Fact is: Diamonds have an international price list, published weekly in New York. That is the “Rapaport Diamond Report”, and every dealer, distributor and jeweller worldwide depends on this list.
Prejudice: Diamonds are not good investments, because the difference between wholesale and retail is too large.
Fact is: One who shops in favourable conditions (directly from wholesaler and/or cutter), can sell the diamond purchased that very day at a profit.
Please do note the following:
1.) One, who wants to gain high profits in the shortest time, should not invest in material assets, such as in diamond. But…
2.) One, who appreciates however security and international mobility, will consider diamonds as a safe, low risk investment.
