Diamonds are NOT RARE. You can fill up a football stadium with all the diamonds in the world. Fine quality diamonds ARE NOT RARE. call up your local Cartier boutique, Van Cleef boutique, Tiffany boutique. They have plenty of 3 carat and larger diamonds to sell you. Yea they don't have enough for everyone in the country but they definitely have plenty to sell you.
It seems people are confusing rarity with extinction. Yes, there are large diamond to be found, but the fact that you need to go to a Cartier, Tiffany’s or Van Cleefs to find a high quality diamond like this regularly in store implies they are not easy to come by. I am certainly not saying everyone needs a diamond or should pay for one. It just seems ignorant how many people complain on the premise that they are sooo common. If you just want diamond, than go buy a blade at Home Depot. But diamonds the average person wants, are such a small fraction of what is mined. Rarity is relative I suppose, but diamond is not so available that we should expect quality/clean diamonds to be “cheap. “ Is be curious what your source is for the football field comparison and what their criteria is, but even so, by consumer standards in today’s world, most things we purchase stretch around world multiple times…And they are not “imperishable .“ I think we just need perspective when complaining about diamonds. I wish they were less expensive, but I am concerned we lose all perspective when someone tells us how many there are and that you can fill an entire football field. I’m just trying to offer perspective and everyone thinks I’m selling diamonds. I have not sold a single diamond to date from TH-cam. Because I’m not trying. I’m just trying to educate based on what I’ve observed and know… just saying.
@@YourAverageJeweler please don't feel that i am attacking you or yelling at you cause i am not. I just think the concept of "rarity" is the issue. In comparison to quartz, diamonds are rare. In comparison to Da Vinci paintings, diamonds are not rare. I've been to diamond trade shows that fill up convention centers. Certain African countries have a truckload of fine diamonds in their treasuries. Diamonds are not in scarce supply. I know jewelry stores that replace missing diamonds in pave designs for free. What is rare are customers willing to pay thousands and thousands of dollars for high quality diamonds. Even then the concept of high quality diamonds being rare is an entirely different subject and even then there is an enormous supply of fine quality diamonds.

Common sense, diamond is not rarity, it can be created in a lab, gold and other precious metals on the other hand can only be created through exploding stars, the reason why land and gold only grow on value
gold , silver and platinum all needed in computers and energy. copper for EVs, nickel for batteries. Platinum is like 1000x more rare than gold and very energy intensive to mine and only come from 2 places in the world.
So in the end, you'll more than likely recoupe your money on a $70,000 diamond than a $10,000 diamond right? I don't buy hardly anything if I don't get somewhat of a return on it. I think that would be foolish
The diamond itself no, but aspects that you customize or choose for yourself will be more difficult to recoup the value than a nice diamond that most people would want to own.
I bought a 2.52 ct round, color G, Sl2 for 9k solitaire white gold ring. I feel like i got a great deal. I found a used ring and had the diamond removed and had a brand new custom setting built by a jeweler. Appraised value is 21k on the paperwork. What do you think?
There are so many other factors that determine price. Most have to deal with the cut. But if it looks good then it was a good deal. They are meant to look good more so than appreciate in value.
Where were you 15 yrs ago, when I lost $60,000 listening from a show on T.V. that starts with a J. I know my father is rolling over in his grave. To this day I feel like a failure. So I must let it go. But I still have a desire to learn. I truly enjoy listening to you. Thank you. And God be with you. Cathleen
Don’t feel bad, Warren Buffet said the internet was a fad. Also Blockbuster had a chance to buy Netflix for something like 3 million dollars. What was the show though?
I think that the worst thing regarding investment in diamonds or any precious stone in general is the liquidity which is very low compared to nearly every investment. You should also never expect any big profit from investment in my opinion.
Are there any other stones that will grow in investment soon? Like Tanzanite? How much do u think that will grow? Tanzanite is cheap right now... or I think so at least
If I really knew the answer to that I’d be likely doing something different.😜 it’s in many cases hard to definitively predict exactly what pricing will do. Tanzanite for example has gone up and down based on whether they think there’s more of it to be found or if they feel like they’re coming to the end of their deposits. When dealers and vendors suspect a gemstone is running out the prices usually go up, and vice versa. Tanzanite is a little bit lower than it was when people were concerned about the supply, but a lot of Tanzanite being sold especially online is not as vivid and is lower quality Tanzanite. Nice quality Tanzanite that is clean and has vivid saturation is still relatively valuable. The best I can tell you is if you buy a nice quality gemstone that has a higher rarity to it, usually something that’s not treated or one of the more obscure And desirable. A nice piece of natural alexandrite for example or a high-quality untreated ruby. Those are usually the type of stones that will go up more predictably overtime, but I wish I had a crystal ball to tell you exactly which one is the best. If I could’ve purchased a ton of nice quality tourmaline 10 years ago, that would’ve been a phenomenal move at the time. I hope that helps and best of luck.
PEOPLE OFTEN THINK THAT WHEN THEY BUY A DIAMOND AND WANT TO TO RE-SELL IT, THEY WILL GET EXACTLY WHAT THEY PAID OR MORE... 5 , 10, 20 YEARS AGO OR MORE. ONLY HIGH PRICED DIAMONDS RETIAN VALUE. DIAMONDS BOUGHT IN A MALL STORE, DO NOT, USUALLY.
Absolutely, my friend had sold his diamond which was given to him bu his grandfather. It was a 7 carrot round diamond, internal flawless. It was sold for a butt load of money .
What's the source for the "3 carats mined in a year fit into a Softball" idea at 7:58? I haven't been able to verify that anywhere with several search combinations on Google... Please advise.
Generally speaking, the nicer and larger a stone is, the more likely to retain or grow in value over time. Of course specific situations can vary, as mentioned in the video, but higher quality stones are just harder to replace. I hope that answers your question.
I myself am a hard worker and I like to recoup some of my money and mostly all things but life is short if you look at it as an investment all the time it gets boring buy a diamond for your wife that can lead to your kids and hopefully they never need to use it but if they need some kind of financial support or an emergency they can always sell it and fairly quickly if anything keep the stock market on Wall Street and diamond should be something special for occasions and enjoy it for each building I myself bought several diamonds for over 50,000 and watches upwards in hundreds of thousands we don’t have a crystal ball but I did very well most of my stuff double if not triple in value and I never purchase the stuff for investment it was just me beingSaying kind of dumb because no one ever agreed with me but it’s my money and I bought what I thought was right and yes diamonds do holder value been buying them since my teenage years now in my 40s and still buying we’re not taking twice it will go to my children my son never have to worry about a diamond because daddy took care of it and then some
The only diamonds worth buying for investment purposes are rare diamonds. Your typical diamonds, 1-3 ct. are NOT rare, a rare diamond would be like 5+ ct. IF, perfect cut, D color. which is too expensive for most people to buy.
I’m more for diamonds yes not so much the entire business just I feel with it you know. Diamonds vs gold? Diamonds all the time. Honestly I would love to just digest diamonds.
I don't see diamonds as investments per se.. but probably more so as a hedge against the dollar, similar to silver and gold. Obviously, I can't say diamonds are more precious than metals, but can confidently say that I can indeed walk through an airport with a million in diamonds relatively easy.. I can't say the same for cash, precious metals or any other tangible form of value.
Now my friend it's the right time to deal with the real Diamond backed money All natural resources backed money Please let's get to the deal I look forward to your videos on there's subjects. P.S. let's keep it moving noble el your diamond seller rough only.
In the end, I don't feel anyone should be buying a diamond for the purpose of resale or investing. I just don't believe it is that kind of purchase. Most jewelers will give equal credit if your intention is to upgrade in the future ( there are specific programs for this). But yes, if you buy I "nicer" diamond you will likely recoup more of what was spent .
I appreciate your presentation. I wonder if you have a different opinion now that the economy is facing major difficulties. Would you consider diamonds to be like gold?
@@BeefZupreme I wouldn’t say it’s bs I’d say it’s in the ballpark they can’t predict the market at the end of the day its more of a educated guess based off of previous sales trends and stuff like that
Well, in conclusion, it's nowhere near gold as investment and this is the very thing I've said to my mom. It's good for the bling though, maybe i ought to think more about those lab-grown diamonds.
first of all I want to say thank you so so so much you really did something that nobody will ever think about it maybe other people when they want to do as this video '' about investment diamond '' they might say you go buy and sell it just buy anything you want and you could sell it at '' good price '' but please explain to me what you mean as '' good price '' ? well you will find out you might lost 80% of the value in this video you explain it very well I can give you prove of that when you buy a van clef or like any other famous brands like neckless or diamond ring that cost like 5k-6k $ you lose like 50% at the minimum because when you want to sell it nobody will look at the brand they will need something call ' diamond ' so when you want to invest I agreed when you talked about auctions in the auctions when I see something that has return value or he got investment of it like collection of whatever was cost 60k or 50k at 1926 and now days it's worth 300k so... you might get investment in small money for example 50 carat diamond someone sell it like 1$ and he wasn't know about the value then you can make invest of it there is many reasons it's big topic but when you want to investment in small amount of money it's like 99% to be lucky person that's my opinion and I think I said something right not wrong
I tried to focus specifically on just diamonds for this video. Jewelry investment can be an entirely different discussion with many other variables. As far as what is a good price for a diamond... most are selling it reasonably close in cost, unless you’re talking about smaller diamonds set into random jewelry, then it’s just a matter of what they are looking for within that given piece of jewelry and not necessarily the value of the diamonds themselves. When you’re shopping for a nicer quality diamond most jewelers are not putting a significant amount of markup into it, but it can be good to compare a couple stones next to each other rather than just going off of lab reports. When people strictly trust the paper without looking at the diamonds, that is where I think most are more likely to run into trouble. They think they got a better quality diamond because it says so on a lab report, when in reality it actually looks worse than a diamond that might not look as good on paper. I hope that answers that question. Again, thanks for watching!
I think Deflation is a perfect word to use. Diamonds have been used as currency in the past. They still function in that way somewhat. We are experiencing asset deflation and inflation at the same time. It all depends on macroeconomics that decides which force dominates over a time frame.
Ironically, with low interest rates, it entices the marginal producer of a good (one who would make little profit in business and suffer a loss if interest rates were higher) to come to market with their good. That might be diamonds or gasoline or whatever else. It therefore just barely increases the supply of that good, driving down the price. It also incentives the return seeker or saver to lend their money out to ever riskier ventures to try to demand a return. Therefore, ironically the low prices of interest are associated with commodity production against the force of inflation which leads to hoarding and holding of real marketable products and in the he final phase of the fist currency cycle, commodities themselves. Keith Wiener presents it much more elegantly than I do
Diamonds are rare in location only. Not in quantity. They are controlled by 3 or 4 major countries and companies. They have warehouses full of raw diamonds. Fine large emeralds and large untreated Corundum or rubies and Safires are rare. Many other gemstons are even rarer but have no demand in general outside of fanatical collectors.
Sorry, but this price thing you are trying to tell us makes no sense, not every diamonds is individually mined to order, they are mined in bulk, and they are shipped in bulk, by your definition , apples should be as pricey as diamonds, because the are also individually plated and individually harvested to order and then shipped, right? Let's be real, there are very large amounts of diamonds mined every year, most of them selling with a 1000% margin by the mining company, because they have a monopole on diamond mining. So yes, fromn a jewler's perspective, they are selling and buying at market value, and its true, bigger diamonds are more valuable, BUT the price is still artificially kept that high. Also, please yes, there is more mining necessary, to get a big diamond, but they will also mine small diamonds in the process, that will also be sold, so its not that easy! Most gemstones will keep their value of undergo normal market fluctuation, not so diamonds. Diamond will loose up to 50% of value upon payment...
You make some good points, but at the end of the day it is supply and demand, so personal opinions only change the price if the demand actually changes because of it. Diamonds DO need to be individually cut and finished regardless of whether they were mined together. Also, saying there is a lot of something, doesn't mean that everyone who wants one can get it. If it were easy and everywhere we could all mine our own, or at the very least, a monopoly wouldn't be able to exist. Wanting something to be different doesn't change how it is.
Eh I saw a picture a family friend took on a trip home with a double handful of raw diamonds. I mean a single mine I checked up on had 2,720 kilograms of the things(6,000 lb; 13,600,000 carats) There are rare sizes and quality's yes but diamonds themselves? eh there are many things 100,000 times rarer.
Frankly, I think not. The price it is artificially pumped up because a handfull of peoples are controllyng all the diamond supply in the world. The do have huge vaults full of raw diamonds and they do not sell to keep the prices up artificially.
That is the main issue with diamonds; color and carat are the biggest issues in future value. I plan on holding on to my 10, 18, and 19-carat pinks. I probably will get rid of my quarter and half-carat whites though.
I would say no unless they are natural colored diamonds. Black Opals are far more Rare and worth much more than diamonds. Hmmm ive founds diamonds in Arkansas btw so your wrong there. Ive never found a black opal.
💍💎💠Women still love real natural diamonds not solely because it is expensive, we love it and keep it for a life time and sometimes pass it on as a heirloom because of the sentimental value and the wonderful memories that we valued attached to it. And of course if we found out it’s fake there will be a trauma attached to it every time we look at it, & even if it’s real but with bad memories you just wanted to get rid of it.
for the most part, yes. There is value of the diamond itself, but also the price someone is willing to pay. Reselling it becomes a pain because everyone will try to under cut you. That's where the diamond loses its value. Forget about profit, you are not even getting your money back.
Your question can not be answer by him because he isn't sure, He has no experience in this field. I worked with people on diamond district in Manhattan. They say diamonds are for suckers back in the 40's and people now.
"Investment" where you would offer 15-20% of the original price for a buy back 😂 Used underwear or an old shoe has a better ratio of "buy" and "sell" price.

Definitely not rare. Ps5 s are more rare than diamonds. Lol I think the reason people believe they are not rare is because every jewelry store is fully stocked. You NEVER see jewelry stores with even slightly empty cases. And the introduction of lab grown diamonds produced the illusion that they are unlimited cause it’s just heated up and compressed carbons. If it can be created there is no rarity. There is no sense of urgency. It’ll always be there
I inherited a ring that was appraised by a jeweler for $5,000 11 years ago. According to the appraisal - 88 carat - $3,700, 12 smaller mounted diamonds totaling .24 carat - $480.00; Metal 24k white gold 8 grams including stones - $820.00 How does that hold up to today's values? At the time gold was $1,786.70/oz. Can anyone help me sort out what the current value would be?
I shouldn’t have commented so fast. Diamonds are not rare. Dude. Are you serious. You are 100 percent a jewelry salesman. You 100 percent are lying or don’t know what your talking about. Yes they have bills to pay. But there is a 300 to 400 percent market up on every diamond sold in a store
Black diamonds (treated) are about $700 per carat now. With inflation (thanks Biden) and higher demand, by next year they should be about $1,000 per carat. Last year they were valued at about $300 per carat. I bought mine last year so I made a good profitable investment. I paid about 30% retail/appraisal value.
funny this guy just said a lab diamone wont hold its value as well lol they actually resel with the same percentage loss as real diamond, but here is the kicker , i bought a diamond simulant from nexul lab diamonds , not a lab created but a simulant mind you, it was 2.75 ct. cushion cut and i paid 100 dollars for it , the same simulant today sells for 800 dollars lol i got it ten years ago

There are so many other factors that determine price. Most have to deal with the cut. But if it looks good then it was a good deal. They are meant to look good more so than appreciate in value.
Where were you 15 yrs ago, when I lost $60,000 listening from a show on T.V. that starts with a J. I know my father is rolling over in his grave. To this day I feel like a failure. So I must let it go.
But I still have a desire to learn. I truly enjoy listening to you. Thank you. And God be with you. Cathleen
Don’t feel bad, Warren Buffet said the internet was a fad. Also Blockbuster had a chance to buy Netflix for something like 3 million dollars.
What was the show though?
@@tipr8739 Buffet really said that?😂
LOVE THE IDAMOND PILLOW IN THE BACKGROUND!! ON THE SOFA.
What about other precious stones, such as rubies, emeralds, and sapphires?
Are they a good investment?
I think that the worst thing regarding investment in diamonds or any precious stone in general is the liquidity which is very low compared to nearly every investment. You should also never expect any big profit from investment in my opinion.
Total verständlich und sehr nützlich, danke!
Then why would you buy a diamond new if you can buy it for 50% off used?
Are there any other stones that will grow in investment soon? Like Tanzanite? How much do u think that will grow? Tanzanite is cheap right now... or I think so at least
If I really knew the answer to that I’d be likely doing something different.😜 it’s in many cases hard to definitively predict exactly what pricing will do. Tanzanite for example has gone up and down based on whether they think there’s more of it to be found or if they feel like they’re coming to the end of their deposits. When dealers and vendors suspect a gemstone is running out the prices usually go up, and vice versa. Tanzanite is a little bit lower than it was when people were concerned about the supply, but a lot of Tanzanite being sold especially online is not as vivid and is lower quality Tanzanite. Nice quality Tanzanite that is clean and has vivid saturation is still relatively valuable. The best I can tell you is if you buy a nice quality gemstone that has a higher rarity to it, usually something that’s not treated or one of the more obscure And desirable. A nice piece of natural alexandrite for example or a high-quality untreated ruby. Those are usually the type of stones that will go up more predictably overtime, but I wish I had a crystal ball to tell you exactly which one is the best. If I could’ve purchased a ton of nice quality tourmaline 10 years ago, that would’ve been a phenomenal move at the time. I hope that helps and best of luck.
What is your opinion on old/mine cut diamonds or sapphires? I would love to know!
Please check the price "evolution" from fancy diamonds. Pink, blue, green, Orange, yellow... only one direction.
PEOPLE OFTEN THINK THAT WHEN THEY BUY A DIAMOND AND WANT TO TO RE-SELL IT, THEY WILL GET EXACTLY WHAT THEY PAID OR MORE... 5 , 10, 20 YEARS AGO OR MORE. ONLY HIGH PRICED DIAMONDS RETIAN VALUE. DIAMONDS BOUGHT IN A MALL STORE, DO NOT, USUALLY.
Absolutely, my friend had sold his diamond which was given to him bu his grandfather. It was a 7 carrot round diamond, internal flawless. It was sold for a butt load of money .
I BUY MY GOLD FROM A MALL...IT WORTH DOUBLE NOW !!!
@@supernova8962 ofcourse, its gold not diamond.
I love diamonds. Thank you for the info. I do agree.
You will be poor as you get older when diamonds a grown larger in China
What's the source for the "3 carats mined in a year fit into a Softball" idea at 7:58? I haven't been able to verify that anywhere with several search combinations on Google... Please advise.
Is pink or red diamond a good investment?
If it is natural it could be, but it is very very expensive! most is treated, usually on a few natural reds and pinks mined in a year.
Do high quality diamonds maintain or gain value?
Generally speaking, the nicer and larger a stone is, the more likely to retain or grow in value over time. Of course specific situations can vary, as mentioned in the video, but higher quality stones are just harder to replace. I hope that answers your question.
@@YourAverageJeweler Thanks just making sure
I myself am a hard worker and I like to recoup some of my money and mostly all things but life is short if you look at it as an investment all the time it gets boring buy a diamond for your wife that can lead to your kids and hopefully they never need to use it but if they need some kind of financial support or an emergency they can always sell it and fairly quickly if anything keep the stock market on Wall Street and diamond should be something special for occasions and enjoy it for each building I myself bought several diamonds for over 50,000 and watches upwards in hundreds of thousands we don’t have a crystal ball but I did very well most of my stuff double if not triple in value and I never purchase the stuff for investment it was just me beingSaying kind of dumb because no one ever agreed with me but it’s my money and I bought what I thought was right and yes diamonds do holder value been buying them since my teenage years now in my 40s and still buying we’re not taking twice it will go to my children my son never have to worry about a diamond because daddy took care of it and then some
Idk which is worse… the financial advice or the lack of any punctuation.
I did listen to the whole video! Really informative. Thank you 🙌
Glad it was helpful!
I'm a real estate agent. Selling 6 acres on Mars for $1000 .. Great deal , Buy from me now Mr. Lozano.
The only diamonds worth buying for investment purposes are rare diamonds. Your typical diamonds, 1-3 ct. are NOT rare, a rare diamond would be like 5+ ct. IF, perfect cut, D color. which is too expensive for most people to buy.
What online website is the best to buy certified diamonds or gems ???? 💎
Really appreciate your honesty on this.
I really enjoy and appreciate these videos. They are really helping me learn. Could you please consider doing on on using a rappraport?
I'm glad to hear you are learning! Rapaport could be an interesting video. good thought.
@@YourAverageJeweler thank you so much for your very educational video you just stopped me from making a big mistake twice!!!
@@YourAverageJeweler and you don’t know how much that means to me
I’m more for diamonds yes not so much the entire business just I feel with it you know. Diamonds vs gold? Diamonds all the time. Honestly I would love to just digest diamonds.
I don't see diamonds as investments per se.. but probably more so as a hedge against the dollar, similar to silver and gold. Obviously, I can't say diamonds are more precious than metals, but can confidently say that I can indeed walk through an airport with a million in diamonds relatively easy.. I can't say the same for cash, precious metals or any other tangible form of value.
R the Hearts on Fire diamonds more desirable then other diamonds?

Thank you for a great video with accurate information 💯💯
You mean to say we should buy vvs quality diamonds if we want to get gud resale value??or solitaires
In the end, I don't feel anyone should be buying a diamond for the purpose of resale or investing. I just don't believe it is that kind of purchase. Most jewelers will give equal credit if your intention is to upgrade in the future ( there are specific programs for this).
But yes, if you buy I "nicer" diamond you will likely recoup more of what was spent .
@@YourAverageJeweler nicer diamond, you mean fancy vivid blue, dark blue or red diamond??
I appreciate your presentation. I wonder if you have a different opinion now that the economy is facing major difficulties. Would you consider diamonds to be like gold?
Sir,am an African I have 3 diamond ready for sell but I don't know where to sell it,for more information if you love it I can show you the video
What does appraisal value mean?
The appraisal is the price a expert puts on it however at the end of the day it’s only worth what someone is willing to pay
@@oneway4667 so it’s a bullshit price tag
@@BeefZupreme I wouldn’t say it’s bs I’d say it’s in the ballpark they can’t predict the market at the end of the day its more of a educated guess based off of previous sales trends and stuff like that
It’s primarily for insurance
Well, in conclusion, it's nowhere near gold as investment and this is the very thing I've said to my mom. It's good for the bling though, maybe i ought to think more about those lab-grown diamonds.
Great video very informative.
Sweet vid man, keep it up!
Appreciate it!
So helpful information, thank you, clears my mind
Can you make a video on ruby zoisite please

What can be the value of a 2.05ct diamont. Single no jewelery ?
$3500-65000 depending on clarity, cut and color
Thank you. This was great.
first of all I want to say thank you so so so much you really did something that nobody will ever think about it maybe other people when they want to do as this video '' about investment diamond '' they might say you go buy and sell it just buy anything you want and you could sell it at '' good price '' but please explain to me what you mean as '' good price '' ? well you will find out you might lost 80% of the value in this video you explain it very well I can give you prove of that when you buy a van clef or like any other famous brands like neckless or diamond ring that cost like 5k-6k $ you lose like 50% at the minimum because when you want to sell it nobody will look at the brand they will need something call ' diamond ' so when you want to invest I agreed when you talked about auctions in the auctions when I see something that has return value or he got investment of it like collection of whatever was cost 60k or 50k at 1926 and now days it's worth 300k so... you might get investment in small money for example 50 carat diamond someone sell it like 1$ and he wasn't know about the value then you can make invest of it there is many reasons it's big topic but when you want to investment in small amount of money it's like 99% to be lucky person that's my opinion and I think I said something right not wrong
I tried to focus specifically on just diamonds for this video. Jewelry investment can be an entirely different discussion with many other variables. As far as what is a good price for a diamond... most are selling it reasonably close in cost, unless you’re talking about smaller diamonds set into random jewelry, then it’s just a matter of what they are looking for within that given piece of jewelry and not necessarily the value of the diamonds themselves. When you’re shopping for a nicer quality diamond most jewelers are not putting a significant amount of markup into it, but it can be good to compare a couple stones next to each other rather than just going off of lab reports. When people strictly trust the paper without looking at the diamonds, that is where I think most are more likely to run into trouble. They think they got a better quality diamond because it says so on a lab report, when in reality it actually looks worse than a diamond that might not look as good on paper. I hope that answers that question. Again, thanks for watching!
@@YourAverageJeweler totaly agreed 👌🏻
Don't forget security cost to prevent it being thieved!
Thank you! I found all the information i came for!
Gold and silver will always be the best thing to invest in other than land
The s and p 500 would disagree
I think Deflation is a perfect word to use. Diamonds have been used as currency in the past. They still function in that way somewhat.
We are experiencing asset deflation and inflation at the same time. It all depends on macroeconomics that decides which force dominates over a time frame.
Ironically, with low interest rates, it entices the marginal producer of a good (one who would make little profit in business and suffer a loss if interest rates were higher) to come to market with their good. That might be diamonds or gasoline or whatever else. It therefore just barely increases the supply of that good, driving down the price. It also incentives the return seeker or saver to lend their money out to ever riskier ventures to try to demand a return. Therefore, ironically the low prices of interest are associated with commodity production against the force of inflation which leads to hoarding and holding of real marketable products and in the he final phase of the fist currency cycle, commodities themselves.
Keith Wiener presents it much more elegantly than I do
I need buyer
Very well considered. New subscriber.
Nothing last forever, except diamond.
and what about diamonds made in labs?.. there is no comparison they are both 100% Diamonds but half the price and not rare
What about resale in comparison with gold
Gold is worth its weight in gold lol, there is a reason for that saying lol
What online website is the best to buy certified gems and diamonds ???
Diamonds are rare in location only. Not in quantity. They are controlled by 3 or 4 major countries and companies. They have warehouses full of raw diamonds. Fine large emeralds and large untreated Corundum or rubies and Safires are rare. Many other gemstons are even rarer but have no demand in general outside of fanatical collectors.
Sorry, but this price thing you are trying to tell us makes no sense, not every diamonds is individually mined to order, they are mined in bulk, and they are shipped in bulk, by your definition , apples should be as pricey as diamonds, because the are also individually plated and individually harvested to order and then shipped, right?
Let's be real, there are very large amounts of diamonds mined every year, most of them selling with a 1000% margin by the mining company, because they have a monopole on diamond mining.
So yes, fromn a jewler's perspective, they are selling and buying at market value, and its true, bigger diamonds are more valuable, BUT the price is still artificially kept that high.
Also, please yes, there is more mining necessary, to get a big diamond, but they will also mine small diamonds in the process, that will also be sold, so its not that easy!
Most gemstones will keep their value of undergo normal market fluctuation, not so diamonds. Diamond will loose up to 50% of value upon payment...
You make some good points, but at the end of the day it is supply and demand, so personal opinions only change the price if the demand actually changes because of it. Diamonds DO need to be individually cut and finished regardless of whether they were mined together. Also, saying there is a lot of something, doesn't mean that everyone who wants one can get it. If it were easy and everywhere we could all mine our own, or at the very least, a monopoly wouldn't be able to exist. Wanting something to be different doesn't change how it is.
Why don’t you go find one if it’s not so rare?EXCTLY enough said THNK YOU
Eh I saw a picture a family friend took on a trip home with a double handful of raw diamonds. I mean a single mine I checked up on had 2,720 kilograms of the things(6,000 lb; 13,600,000 carats) There are rare sizes and quality's yes but diamonds themselves? eh there are many things 100,000 times rarer.
Frankly, I think not. The price it is artificially pumped up because a handfull of peoples are controllyng all the diamond supply in the world. The do have huge vaults full of raw diamonds and they do not sell to keep the prices up artificially.
Please explain how they can make money if they don't sell, while paying the expense of a building to store the diamonds in. Thanks, my friend.
@@DrSchor They do sell, in limited quantities to keep the prices up. Inform better my friend.
That is the main issue with diamonds; color and carat are the biggest issues in future value. I plan on holding on to my 10, 18, and 19-carat pinks. I probably will get rid of my quarter and half-carat whites though.
In 2018 a pink 19carat fetched 50mil
I would say no unless they are natural colored diamonds. Black Opals are far more Rare and worth much more than diamonds. Hmmm ive founds diamonds in Arkansas btw so your wrong there. Ive never found a black opal.
I watched this just too see if your view was skewed from being a Jeweler
I have diamond and I need buyer
sounds like the only people that should invest in diamonds are people who are so rich they dont need the money in the first place
💍💎💠Women still love real natural diamonds not solely because it is expensive, we love it and keep it for a life time and sometimes pass it on as a heirloom because of the sentimental value and the wonderful memories that we valued attached to it.
And of course if we found out it’s fake there will be a trauma attached to it every time we look at it, & even if it’s real but with bad memories you just wanted to get rid of it.
Woman? World belongs to the man. Now reality change we prefer LAB diamond.
A have diamond
I.E. diamonds are not a good investment, Unless it costs over $100.000
So diamonds lose value
Like most things...it's complicated.
for the most part, yes. There is value of the diamond itself, but also the price someone is willing to pay. Reselling it becomes a pain because everyone will try to under cut you. That's where the diamond loses its value. Forget about profit, you are not even getting your money back.
Most of the diamonds are manufactured in a Lab nowadays .
Your question can not be answer by him because he isn't sure, He has no experience in this field. I worked with people on diamond district in Manhattan. They say diamonds are for suckers back in the 40's and people now.
This guy don't deal in within the market rate. Thumbs down Diamonds are worthless these days. Diamonds are scams from De Beers.
Sir i have rouh diamon
"Investment" where you would offer 15-20% of the original price for a buy back 😂
Used underwear or an old shoe has a better ratio of "buy" and "sell" price.

Definitely not rare. Ps5 s are more rare than diamonds. Lol I think the reason people believe they are not rare is because every jewelry store is fully stocked. You NEVER see jewelry stores with even slightly empty cases. And the introduction of lab grown diamonds produced the illusion that they are unlimited cause it’s just heated up and compressed carbons. If it can be created there is no rarity. There is no sense of urgency. It’ll always be there
I seen a nazi uniform go for about 1,200$
Get to the point man

Call me straight-to-the-point but this guy is annoying only 1:04 in and feel the need to skip

so no .. not a good investment if you're middle class ...
Diamonds are a bad investment gold is more better
not great advice
Buy in Asia sell in the west. Never gonna make money your way

No, not rare... diamonds are now man made
I inherited a ring that was appraised by a jeweler for $5,000 11 years ago. According to the appraisal - 88 carat - $3,700, 12 smaller mounted diamonds totaling .24 carat - $480.00; Metal 24k white gold 8 grams including stones - $820.00
How does that hold up to today's values?
At the time gold was $1,786.70/oz. Can anyone help me sort out what the current value would be?
I shouldn’t have commented so fast. Diamonds are not rare. Dude. Are you serious. You are 100 percent a jewelry salesman. You 100 percent are lying or don’t know what your talking about. Yes they have bills to pay. But there is a 300 to 400 percent market up on every diamond sold in a store
Black diamonds (treated) are about $700 per carat now. With inflation (thanks Biden) and higher demand, by next year they should be about $1,000 per carat. Last year they were valued at about $300 per carat. I bought mine last year so I made a good profitable investment. I paid about 30% retail/appraisal value.
funny this guy just said a lab diamone wont hold its value as well lol they actually resel with the same percentage loss as real diamond, but here is the kicker , i bought a diamond simulant from nexul lab diamonds , not a lab created but a simulant mind you, it was 2.75 ct. cushion cut and i paid 100 dollars for it , the same simulant today sells for 800 dollars lol i got it ten years ago
Diamonds are worthless. Do not buy. End of story. The gold on the ring is worth more.
the truth is diamonds are a very bad investment period
just stop with how rate diamonds are lol a Ruby is 100,000 times more rare then a diamond
