Know about diamonds

With extremely low level of knowledge and inadequate certification of diamonds is not surprising. Therefore it is necessary to know some basic rules and most importantly - to be able to find smart professionals.

     In the world there are many laboratories that certify diamonds. Perhaps the most authoritative - is EGL and GIA. In these laboratories stone certify on all counts. Their certificates are not forged, are inscribed signature expert, personal numbers, which can be checked via the Internet. In the last 10 years, most of GIA certified diamonds weighing over 0.5 carats are also laser engraved certificate number, and not on the surface and inside the diamond. Sanded or forge it's impossible.

     Certificates IGI, HRD, AGA, ACA, AIGS, TGS unfortunately in recent years have been the subject of numerous fakes ...
   

  Here, according to the customer diamond sealed in an airtight container or make laser mark on the girdle. The last thirty years, the entire world is focused on the diamond price list, produce and weekly correctable by "Rapaport Diamond ". Having a certified diamond and price list "Rapaport Diamond ", even a layman can accurately determine the price of the stone.

    In a world very few people know that in order to wrap the diamonds into cash, not necessarily to lay them to the shop at half price. Enough to put a stone at Sotheby's or Tiffany. If you find a good jeweler and make an interesting piece of jewelry, you can expect to pay at least an additional 25%.

Aspect 1.
Inflation stability (maintaining nominal purchasing power).
But now do not need to have an uncanny intuition to predict in the near future hyperinflation. Enough to compare the facts derived from the world media. Why something more global and large can’t happen in the near future? Can! And be sure to happen!
Scenarios can be set. From the announcement of the total default of dollar liabilities, issue a new currency and the denomination of debt in the new paper before moving to a full barter. The entire range of scenarios being actively discussed in the serious world media.
How many more need of examples to prove that with monetary conditions in the present circumstances can happen anything.
Any solid asset today reliable money and diamonds - the hardest asset. And not just because of their physical properties, unmatched hardness of carbon material.

Aspect 2.
Financial freedom and independence.
There is another aspect of insecurity monetary conditions at a time when the government tighten control over walking money. Restricting cash turnover tax returns, exchange controls, as well as credit cards and mortgages - all this in the end of the financial instruments and information control powers over their subjects.
   Terrorism, drugs and weapons - is in most cases only a pretext for restrictions. Now Europe can be easily transported only 10,000 euros. It would seem - why, it's my money? No citizen of our dear ... you're going to do, as we point out to you ... With the state, its system, the police and the army can’t argue, can be very expensive consequences.
    Carry a diamond worth 10 million euros you no ban. Fortunes of white businessmen were taken out of South Africa in diamonds after the arrival of the government of Mandela. During the revolutions, wars and other disasters is diamonds rescued their owners.

    Happy to buy diamonds and diamonds can be fairly easy to convert back into cash. In the global diamond industry is still a huge number of transactions carried out in cash. And not because the participants of transactions - criminals, no. Most of them are honest businessmen, generations involved in the business. They just do not trust the government, the banks (as we know swami, reason) and do not want their well-being monitored by someone else.
   Investing in diamonds - a long-term investment. Put the last thousand, perhaps, should not be. But to put a million or two of the many as a kind of investment diversification - a good idea.
   The conclusion is simple. Investment in diamonds - is, first, the protection of the absolute future inflation and, secondly, - financial freedom and independence. Wealthy people can buy diamonds, own them, sell them.
   In Dubai, often comes a little eccentric, Sheikh Ali, who wears a small but heavy suitcase. This suitcase was a few pounds of diamonds (the conversations of people who deal with them - 200 million). Sheikh considers reliable only this type of investment capital, you know - whether or not the financial crisis, it has little to lose. If not lose!

Accountability.

     Many analysts believe the lack of proper control over investments by investors of one of the main causes of the financial and economic crisis. From this perspective, diamonds, perhaps one of the most controlled investment vehicles.
     Unlike precious metals in determining the value of a diamond acts nonlinear dependence - the more one-carat stone, the price per carat above. For example, a one-carat stone in weight of 1 carat with good performance will be equivalent to EUR 7,000, one-carat stone in weight of 2 carats - 10,000 euros, a 10-carat stone, per carat can be up to € 100,000, and the entire diamond will worth a million euros!

 

     But this "stone" is placed in a regular wallet in his pocket. By the way, the weight of gold, equivalent to the cost, amounting to nearly fifty pounds. Maybe so, Sheikh Ali and chose diamonds and carry for a few containers of gold is difficult!
     But it is recommended to invest only in certified and marked with a laser or sealed diamonds.
     Diamond stability to fluctuations price environment due to the fact that the price is determined not only by conventional arrangement of a civilized community, but also the absolute physical value of these gems. Raw diamond - diamonds - the hardest material in the world.
     In addition, at the present rate of production diamond deposits depleted in 15-20 years, so that the "diamond inflation" is not real at all.

Profitability.

     For precious stones firmly entrenched status of eternal values. Remember - the world can collapse, devalued money and diamonds will only go up. In the mass representation jewels virtually synonymous with guaranteed returns. Only in the last 15 years of global diamond prices rose 45%. Really good stones are not subject to fashion trends, they do not come into fashion and go out of it, like, say, the works of art. Besides, it is very convenient when fortune palm sized.

    Investing in diamonds - is, as a rule, the "long" investment. Over the last decade, diamonds (one-two carats) steadily increased in value by an average of 5-10% per year. Certainly observed periods of stagnation, but then always followed a significant increase. Increase in value of 15% per annum is an outstanding result. In the pre-crisis period of 2007-2008, the price of large stones (five carats and above) soared more than 60%. Possible that people with intuitive way to prepare for future financial crisis ...
  Now the governments of almost all developed countries to save the financial system, it is inflated the money supply, which, of course, will cause inflation major currencies. Historically, in times of inflation, especially rapidly becoming more expensive diamonds, as they see a means of preserving capital.
        Turn to history. Where are all the troubled times the reasonable part of mankind to invest their moneys? Well, of course, diamonds! Diamond prices increased steadily over the centuries, since the dawn of time, when prices are reflected in the books of medieval merchants.

Selection: stone or product?

       First of all, you need to understand in order to buy, worn on the hand or kept in a safe. If you are considering a diamond as a way of investing money, you should look at the round-cut diamonds with a purity in the range of FL-VV2 and color of D-J, other cuts are already discounted 10-15%. Market loose diamonds over the past few years shows that it is in these positions by strong growth, and the characteristics of the least subject to the disputed issues in the evaluation of different certification systems. The same can be said if the purpose of purchase - jewelry, but there are some nuances. First, the characteristics of purity is a very good performance for a large diamond and optional for less than 0.3 carat diamond. Second, almost no noticeable difference between the IF and VV1 characteristic of the purity in a large diamond, so it is rational to choose a stone with a purity IF-VV1 and color F-G. Third, there is a group of shades that can advantageously diamond look in natural light, but it reduces the cost of the stone.

       Most investment reliable are large diamonds, weighing not less than 2.5 carats. Based on the data source of the world's major retail diamond price bulletin "Rapaport Diamond ", for the last 10 years the price of 1 carat diamond with high performance has increased by more than 30% and the price of the same stones, but weighing 0,5 karat, remained at the same level. As you can see in the international market has been a general pattern - large stones and rise in price more.

     Large diamond with attractive investment characteristics are not easy to find, the proposal here is limited. As a rule, even diamonds weighing over one carat are sold only by reservation, because the jewelry offices still need to find an ogre stone mills. You can try and go to the very cutters, but Ogre plants do not like to have to deal with strangers. So much easier to apply to the consulting firm, which will select options with several bounded factories and provide the lowest price of the diamond, the more fees for these services will not exceed 2%. Investments in very large diamonds (weighing over 5 carats) are ambiguous. On the one hand, such large diamonds in the market is always a bit and there is a demand for them. As a rule, given the strong demand for such diamonds are sold in the form of a bonus only to large wholesale customers, and only under special conditions. Buying a stone with greater mass, it is difficult to understand its true value, have nothing to compare it to the price.

Extraction yield of diamonds.

     The presence of diamond investment potential ambiguously perceived by experts, but all agree that even a layperson to make a stone's real. True, this is only way to buy loose diamonds and jewelery made from it. Many people buy diamonds abroad, make jewelry in jewelry firms and then sell them. Large stones (diamonds, sapphires, rubies) is better to buy a group of several stones and make a necklace, tiara, earrings, a ring. And if you give a name - Stars Night and put up for auction, the auction you will be surprised. The profitability of such an operation, even with all the overhead, is estimated at not less than 40-50% of the stones. Jewelry demand is much greater than the individual diamonds, so implement decoration theoretically be easier, but it is not known how long it will take. The main risk of this scheme is that it is possible to miscalculate the design, and then sell the jewelry will not be easy. Experts calm so that products with a really beautiful and high quality diamond buyer sooner or later all the same there. And the most important thing in this investment - guaranteed high profits.

      In conclusion I would like to stress that investing in diamonds is very reliable, price increases observed in large diamonds, high performance, and is stable. At the same time, the diamond is a reliable and convenient method of concentration and preservation of capital.
