Diamonds are the most valuable gemstones. Despite this, they not only complement the collections of the wealthiest but also of all those who want to invest in a safe product that perfectly protects capital, especially during times of inflation. The uniqueness of diamonds and their growing popularity largely stem from the uniqueness of each individual specimen. Only an experienced cutter can give gemstones a unique shape so that light enters their interiors in an almost magical way and reflects off the walls. It is these bundles of full reflections that diamonds are famous for, which, after being cut with an appropriate number of facets, are called brilliants.

These stones, as investment products, represent a safe capital investment for many years. Diamonds are timeless and transnational, but their most important advantage is their mobility – diamond rings can sometimes reach the value of a single-family home, yet they can be hidden in a pocket and easily carried around the world, keeping one's assets close. The mission of Mennica Skarbowa is therefore to supplement the investment portfolios of Poles, becoming, alongside precious metals, one of the best possible ways to diversify the security of one's resources!

Diamond, the hardest of gemstones

The uniqueness of diamonds stems from their extraordinary, almost delicate appearance. However, this delicacy has no relation to the durability of these gemstones, which are considered the hardest minerals occurring in nature (10 on the Mohs scale). Diamonds are made of carbon atoms and formed billions of years ago under conditions of high pressure and enormous temperatures. Thus, it is difficult to find two identical specimens, especially since their final shape is given by trained cutters. Thanks to them, the market is filled today not only with jewelry diamonds but also with investment diamonds available to everyone!

Colored and colorless diamonds

At first glance, diamonds may differ in cut and size. It is also worth paying attention to color. Among investment diamonds, we can distinguish: colored diamonds and colorless diamonds. For the latter, a scale with designations from D to Z is used, where: letters D-F indicate colorless diamonds; letters G-J define near-colorless diamonds; letters K-M describe tinted diamonds; and letters N-Z yellowish diamonds. As for colored gemstones, according to the Fancy Color Research Foundation, they constitute a smaller part of the market. However, due to their beautiful appearance, their popularity is growing. Colored diamonds take on shades of green, red, purple, blue, or yellow, of course, while maintaining their reflectivity!

Types of investment diamonds – the 4C principle

When purchasing investment diamonds, one should be guided by the 4C principle, which refers to four important physical parameters of a given diamond specimen! These are:

1. Color – the most important parameter when assessing the value of colorless diamonds and fancy color diamonds.

2. Carat – the carat of a diamond specifies its mass, i.e., 1 carat (ct) is 0.2 grams. Among popular investment diamonds, one can distinguish stones with designations: .18; .25; .50; .75; 1.00; 2.00; 2.50; and also 2.99.

3. Clarity – diamonds may contain minor imperfections, and their level is determined by the clarity scale. Stones almost free of flaws are called "Internally Flawless" IF. Those with significant flaws are termed "Imperfect" P1, P2, P3.

4. Cut – this refers to the proportion, symmetry, and polish of the diamond. It is thus not a parameter related to shape but to the diamond's interaction with light falling on its surface!

Additionally, an important parameter of investment diamonds is the shape itself. More fanciful shapes are reserved for the jewelry industry, but it is worth highlighting the following – commonly encountered – diamond shapes: brilliant (the most popular shape), teardrop, oval, marquise, triangle, princess, baguette, cushion, asscher, octagon, emerald, and heart.

Stable value of investment diamonds

The value of investment diamonds is stable and still growing. It is no wonder that these gemstones are eagerly chosen by investors today. It should be emphasized that diamond prices generally start from around 1500 złoty, and the most expensive products intended for investment can cost even several tens of thousands of złoty. The value of diamonds is primarily determined by the 4C parameters. Moreover, the renowned Rapaport Price List operates in the market, a wholesale price list for colorless diamonds, which is published every Thursday. It is created by the Rapaport Group, operating in 118 countries and serving over 20,000 clients!

Why invest in diamonds?

Diamonds have seen a significant increase in their value since the beginning of the economic crisis and the soaring inflation indicators of world economies. Investing in them guarantees stability, but above all, it is appreciated by investors due to the ease of carrying and mobility. This makes them a practical asset in situations where it is necessary to move wealth. Buying diamonds is thus an excellent way to expand one's investment portfolio and protect capital in unstable times. Investing in gemstones is a perfect alternative to buying investment gold and silver. Diamonds are also worth treating as a complement to one's collections of precious metals!
