With the help of this resonator, you will be able to see astral faults within 5 minutes and collect diamonds in them. Fissures spawn throughout the city, and the Resonator will mark its location on the map. In this way, you can get from 40,000 to 50,000 astral diamonds.

The most reliable gemstone as an investment object is a diamond.

The fact that a diamond does not depreciate over the years is a fact (although it is controversial and in many respects this opinion was inspired by a monopolist -). That is why even if you do not succeed in making money on it, then certainly the money will not be lost.

However, not every stone has the same value and, accordingly, the income will be different. The most attractive as an investment object, but also the most expensive, are large round diamonds (10 carats and above), which are very difficult to buy for a common man in the street. They are sold only to exclusive clients who buy more than one stone, but invest millions of dollars in them. The most common and affordable are 1-carat stones (400-500 thousand rubles).

What to look for when choosing a diamond:
There is a rule of 4C - carat, color, cut and clarity (carats, color, cut and clarity) - four criteria for investment in diamonds, whose combination determines the value of the stone.

  • purity (13 groups);
  • faceting;
  • carat weight;
  • color (15 groups).

The higher these indicators, the more expensive the stone, the more profitable it is to invest in it. The most profitable are the first 5 groups. For the following, the price can be lower by 15% -30%. The difference between the indicators is imperceptible at first glance to an ignorant person, one cannot do without the help of an experienced jeweler. You should buy only certified (otherwise you will not be able to export them abroad), uncut stones. The cheapest will be to buy directly from the organ workers, their price will be lower in comparison with the price in the store.

As for the profit that an investor can get, the maximum for the year will be 15% of the value of the stone, and the minimum - 3%. On average, most often it comes out 9% -10% per year. Diamonds are long-term investments that do not consistently bring the same percentage of profit (the size may vary depending on the saturation of the gem market at the time of sale, from the fashion for one or another form of stone, due to the inflation rate in the country). However, the diamond is one of the few stones that will never go out of style with jewelers. This is a big investment that fits in the palm of your hand.

There is one more nuance - the realization of a diamond. If it is sold directly to a pawnshop or store, the price will be significantly lower than the market price. It is possible to sell abroad, but most likely it will be necessary to undergo additional certification there, since the Russian is not always trusted (it is recommended to first study the article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Illegal circulation of precious metals, natural precious stones or pearls").

A good option for implementation may be the following option: to make and sell it. At the same time, you can both get a fairly good profit (up to 70%), and miscalculate (the product was made unsuccessfully, not falling into the fashion trends of this period, etc.). In any case, a piece with a diamond will always be bought, but the period for its sale will be different.

Investment in precious stones

The rest of the colored stones are quite dependent on fashion trends, so it is usually difficult to predict the growth of their value. If we analyze the indicators of world auctions, then the places, depending on the maximum value that we managed to get for a stone in different periods of time, are distributed as follows:

  1. Diamonds (the most expensive price of $ 1.5 million was obtained for a pink diamond, for a blue and a blue one - $ 400 thousand each);
  2. Rubies (the price reached $ 100 thousand);
  3. Emerald (sold for 80 thousand dollars);
  4. Sapphire (sold for $ 80,000).

The indisputable advantage of a diamond over all other gemstones is that it is always out of fashion trends and always in fashion.

The idea to write an article on this topic was inspired by today's unique action: A replica of the Imperial Crown was exhibited in Novosibirsk. I stood in line there, visited and looked at this beauty.

Is it possible to invest in diamonds?

I think the answer is unequivocal. Yes. The question is, at what price will you get them, and which ones to buy as an investment?

I hope you understand that, to rephrase the expression: “not everything is a diamond that glitters,” you have.

Otherwise, you definitely shouldn't even try to make such purchases. In general, remember that diamonds starting at 1 carat have at least some value. Anything smaller is also worth something, but only when it is sold to you. What is distinctive, as the weight of the stone increases, so does the cost of one carat.

Please note that a real diamond has a certificate, which indicates not only the weight of the cut diamond, but also its transparency, color, cut shape - just everything that affects the value. The most valuable are diamonds with the highest transparency and unusual, so-called, fancy colors: blue, pink, yellow.

You can admire the beauty of diamonds endlessly! But it's not just about beauty, but about the fact that diamond deposits are being depleted, so every year the prices for polished diamonds are getting higher and higher. It is difficult to call the rise in prices for cut diamonds irrepressible, but an increase of 7-10% per annum is guaranteed. And no matter how financial analysts tell us about the most profitable stocks, the belief in the eternal value of the tangible remains. So can you invest in diamonds?

No matter how they behave, no matter how the bulls and bears fought among themselves, the increase in the value of diamonds is stable. This is why girls' best friends can be viewed as an investment as well. But there are spots on the sun too. In other words, even in this type of investment, not everything is so good and there are certain drawbacks.

Cons of investing in diamonds

First, to invest in diamonds, you need to have a lot of capital. Prices for really high quality stones start at $ 50,000.

Secondly, in Russia there is no market for selling diamonds between individuals, for the same reason, exporting a stone abroad without a customs declaration is punishable by the Law. Here I will make a reservation that not for commercial or other purposes, Russian citizens have the right to export diamonds for a total amount of no more than 10 thousand dollars.

Thirdly, to keep this type of investment, you need to be able to keep your mouth shut. And not everyone can do it. Therefore, storage in a safe deposit box will also need to be included in the cost of the content of these investments, or, more simply, subtract from the profitability in its absolute value.

The pros of investing in diamonds

But it seems to me that there are much more advantages here. Judge for yourself:

  1. investment reliability is guaranteed;
  2. you can store these investments in a stocking, and nothing (except theft) will happen to them;
  3. the safety of the invested funds is ensured by the annual increase in the value of this beauty.
  4. investing in diamonds allows you to remain anonymous when buying;
  5. no taxation on this type of investment (as opposed to personal income tax, real estate tax, expensive cars, income from investments in stocks, etc.,);
  6. there are practically no storage and maintenance costs (if necessary, you can store it in a safe deposit box);
  7. the investment does not require conversion.

Not bad, I think. But I don't have the necessary 30 thousand dollars to start in this area of ​​investment yet.

How you can make money by investing in diamonds:

  • the acquisition of unmounted - for the manufacture of jewelry;
  • purchase of ready-made jewelry and their further resale;
  • buying diamonds and reselling them at auction.

I would like to draw your attention to the fact that it is best to use the services of an exchange to buy diamonds for investment purposes, and to sell them at auctions. If there is a desire to purchase a diamond from the Israel Diamond Exchange with a 30% discount (because directly from the exchange!), Please contact us via the feedback form or by mail. A diamond weighing 1ct can be purchased at a price of $ 6.0 thousand.
