Comments on: Diamonds For Ornamentation As Well As For Investment http://www.prime-targeting.com/diamonds-for-ornamentation-as-well-as-for-investment/ All about Finance Mon, 19 Jul 2010 18:48:29 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Adam http://www.prime-targeting.com/diamonds-for-ornamentation-as-well-as-for-investment/comment-page-1/#comment-2049 Adam Wed, 14 Oct 2009 15:06:41 +0000 http://www.prime-targeting.com/?p=984#comment-2049 Thank you for your very interesting article, I do however wish to clarify some points you have made. I make these points from my point of view as an industry and investment expert on the diamond industry. There is no question that certain classes of diamonds can confidently be classed as investment diamonds, it does not apply to all diamonds. Secondly, you make reference to GIA and EGL USA certificates as the ones to look for. While GIA is certainly today the most reputable laboratory, one would definitly not be looking for a diamond with an EGL USA (or other country) for that matter as they are acknowledged by the industry as a whole to not provide the same high consistent standards as the GIA. The only two other acceptable certificates would be the HRD and AGS. In addition, there are many other technical factors involving the measurements cut etc that are integral in deciding which diamonds can be classified as an investment diamond. Ultimately of course, one needs to be able to look at the historical pricing trend for specific diamond sizes, colours etc to make an educated decision on whether the investment makes sense or not. While in no way wishing to "advertise" or market myself, it would probably help you readers to look at either diamondmkt.com or fusionalternatives.com to help them with their research, education and understanding of what constitutes an investment diamond and how, if and who should invest in them. Investing in diamonds, does not have to be for the high net worth individual only and a beginner can start with a few thousand dollars and only 1 stone at a time.

Theres loads of info on the sight, took me some time to go through it, but they do seem to be offering both entry and exit point at what seems to be well below retail price.

BAD BAD BAD They are abundent in the earth. Infact we almost have too many of them. Its a GIANT SCAM between de'beers and other diamond coporations to sell the idea that they are rare. When infact they are abundant. Diamonds will be worth Zilch.. Best things to invest in are a few hundred ounces of silver.. Not GOLD. GOLD will crash. Silver is 10x rarer than Gold.. Intrinsically valuable items such as shovels, spades, forks, rakes, hand tools, hammers etc along with bicycles and the like will be useful and bargainable. Aswell as liquor. a few bottles of scotch wiskey will be good bargaining chips.. Hell i may even trade u myself if it gets too bad :o) Dioaminds are a bad investment.. BAD BAD BAD

There seems to be a lot of hassles in investing in this business for a not so-rich person like me. Better I keep diamonds for ornamentation alone.

Because many time I had seen that even than gold and oil price get down and up but diamond its price only goes up. Thanks for this info.
