Investing in diamonds versus investing in gold

People have been investing in gold for decades. It’s a commodity that’s easy to follow on the market, there’s a lot of information available on the internet, and any banker can help you with it. But have you ever thought about investing in diamonds?

Diamonds are a fantastic investment commodity for a variety of reasons. They’ve already proven throughout time that they’re highly secure, as they offer protection against the credit risks of financial institutions, currency fluctuations, and inflation.

They offer long-term profitability as the demand continues to increase while the supply is slowly decreasing. That’s mainly due to limited natural resources and the existing boundaries in technology that often prevent further mining in some diamond mines.

Don’t forget the exceptional emotional value of diamonds, which we’ve seen over the past decades or even centuries. In particular, from the moment it was discovered how to maximise brilliance by cutting diamonds in specific ways.

Last but not least, the durability of a diamond and the fact that it can be easily stored away make it an incredible asset like no other.

What you should know about diamonds before investing

Diamonds are particularly interesting assets to invest in because they each have a unique identity that can be easily verified through world-renowned gemological laboratories that can grade and certify every stone of 0.30 carat and above. Furthermore, laboratories can even laser inscribe the certificate’s number onto the diamond to ensure it can always be referred to.

There are a few renowned laboratories, but GIA-certified diamonds give you the guarantee that the diamonds are exactly as described on the certificate. This laboratory is recognised worldwide and, although it’s one of the most expensive certificates to obtain, your GIA-certified diamonds increase in value as the market knows exactly what to expect from them.

GIA-certified diamonds provide the customer with all the vital information about the diamond, based on the famous 4Cs, which were actually invented by the GIA itself in the early 1930s.

Therefore, investing in GIA-certified diamonds should be considered part of your next move since they’re worth adding to your investment portfolio.
