The market

Diamond investments are subject to various influences that must be understood and managed. Price volatility during market cycles is normal and requires a longer-term investment horizon. Competition from lab-grown diamonds mainly affects the jewelry market, but not the investment sector. Currency fluctuations in international transactions can be mitigated by appropriate hedging strategies.
Any additional certification costs of around CHF 200-500 per diamond, insurance and storage, as well as transaction fees on sale, must be included in the value calculation. However, these costs are usually very low in relation to the value of the diamonds.
Does it make sense to set up a diversified diamond portfolio? Individual views and personal situations are decisive when it comes to this question, especially when the issue of passing diamonds on within the family is at stake.
