Why Now is the Perfect Time to Invest in Diamonds

Until now, investing in natural diamonds as a commodity has not been accessible to most investors. The technical expertise needed, as well as the access to direct and relevant supply sources, were key barriers for individual investors looking to diversify their portfolio with investment grade diamonds. High liquidity and transferability are important traits that help diamonds retain their intrinsic value and offer a good hedge against inflation or loss of currency value.

As seen in the Diamond Reserves chart below — issued by Diamond Capital, an expert in the diamond space — the global reserve of diamonds has significantly declined over the past 40 years. As no new mines are scheduled to open in the next 10 years, supply is not expected to fulfill the increasing market demand that’s being fueled by growth in India and China. Such a gap in supply and demand typically results in further product value appreciation.

The facts bare out this speculation, as the chart below on the left shows retail sales of jewelry in China rising to more than double what they were just a few years ago. Furthermore, despite recent economic uncertainty here in the U.S., retail sales of jewelry have remained steady.

What you can take away from these two charts and the speculative growth is this: diamonds are more popular than ever and are experiencing vast growth in multiple new markets, while meeting this demand amidst a decreasing supply will create the perfect investment opportunity for your portfolio.
