Compare Diamond Prices…<\/h2>\n

\nI ran across an old certified loose diamond pricing sheet<\/strong> that we used back in 2005<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\nSo I thought it’d be fascinating to compare those prices <\/strong>to diamonds that are sold today<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nYou know, just to find out what’s happened in the diamond industry over the past 12 years<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

What I found was Interesting.<\/h2>\n

\nAnd surprising!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n(You’d think all of the prices would have gone UP, UP, UP!<\/strong>)<\/p>\n

\nBut out of 24 diamonds<\/strong> (Certified by GIA<\/strong>), the prices had actually come DOWN<\/strong>. All except TWO large Princess cut diamonds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Take a Peek…<\/h2>\n

\n(I’ve added current 2017 prices<\/strong> to the list for easy comparison…)<\/p>\n

\n\"GIA<\/p>\n

Now only does this chart show what most people were buying and looking for in certified diamonds (VVS-SI Clarity, D-H Color<\/strong>), but it also shows you what cuts were popular<\/strong> then: Brilliant, Marquise, Princess and Emerald. <\/p>\n

\nYou’ll see no signs<\/strong> of Radiant, Cushion, Asscher or even Trilliant Cut.<\/p>\n

People were buying Emerald Cuts???<\/h2>\n

\nFunny to remember, but Emerald Cuts sold like hot cakes!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nAnd today, 2017, you can buy all of these same diamond qualities cheaper<\/strong> than you could back in 2005. Most by savings of a $1,000 or MORE<\/strong>. The only exception being those 2.00 carat Princess cut diamonds<\/a> (Seems like larger stones have become more valuable), but everything else: KA-CHING!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nAlso note that in doing my research, that one stone marked above (*<\/strong>), the 1.05 Princess cut, VS1, G, selling for $3,670<\/a> is a STEAL<\/strong>… (Compare it with the 1.00 Brilliant cuts above). It’s such a good deal for a great diamond, it will sell ultra-fast!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nAll the current diamond prices<\/strong> were obtained from James Allen<\/a> (I grabbed the lowest prices<\/strong> at the time of this post).<\/p>\n
