Diamonds are the most precious gemstones. Nevertheless, they not only complement the collections of the wealthiest but also of all those who want to choose a safe investment product that perfectly protects capital, especially in times of inflation. The uniqueness of diamonds and their growing popularity largely result from the individuality of each single stone. Only an experienced cutter can give gemstones an exceptional shape so that light, in a truly magical way, enters their interior and reflects off the walls. It is precisely for these flashes full of reflections that diamonds are famous; when cut with the appropriate number of facets, they are called brilliants.

These stones, as investment products, are a safe store of value for many years. Diamonds are timeless and transnational, but their most important advantage is their mobility — diamond rings sometimes reach the value of a single-family house, yet you can put them in your pocket and travel freely around the world with your wealth by your side. The mission of Mennica Skarbowa is therefore for them to complement the investment portfolios of Poles, becoming, alongside precious metals, one of the best possible ways to diversify the protection of one’s assets!

Diamond, the hardest of gemstones

The exceptional nature of diamonds stems from their extraordinary, almost delicate appearance. This delicacy, however, has nothing to do with 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 high pressure and immense temperatures. It is therefore hard to find two identical specimens, especially since their final shape is given by trained cutters. Thanks to them, the market today is filled 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 as well as size. It is also worth paying attention to color. Among investment diamonds, one can distinguish colored diamonds and colorless diamonds. For the latter, the scale with designations from D to Z is used, where letters D–F indicate colorless diamonds; letters G–J denote near-colorless diamonds; letters K–M describe faintly colored diamonds; and letters N–Z yellowish diamonds. As for colored gemstones, according to the Fancy Color Research Foundation they constitute a smaller share of the market. However, their popularity is growing due to their beautiful appearance. Colored diamonds take on shades of green, red, violet, blue or yellow, of course retaining their brilliance!

Types of investment diamonds – the 4C principle

When purchasing investment diamonds, you should follow the 4C principle, which refers to four important physical parameters of a given diamond specimen! They are:

1. Color (Colour) – the most important parameter when assessing the value of colorless diamonds and fancy-colored diamonds.

2. Carat – a diamond’s carat denotes its mass; i.e., 1 carat (ct) is 0.2 grams. Among popular investment diamonds one can find stones with designations: .18; .25; .50; .75; 1.00; 2.00; 2.50; as well as 2.99.

3. Clarity – diamonds may contain slight imperfections, and their level is determined by the clarity scale. Stones almost free from blemishes are called "Internally Flawless" (IF). Those with large imperfections are designated "Imperfect" P1, P2, P3.

4. Cut – this refers to the diamond’s proportions, symmetry, and polish. It is therefore not a parameter related to shape, but to how the diamond interacts with light striking its surface!

In addition, the very shape is an important parameter of investment diamonds. More intricate forms are reserved for the jewelry industry, but it is worth highlighting the following—frequently encountered—diamond shapes: brilliant (the most popular shape), pear, oval, marquise, triangle, princess, baguette, cushion, Asscher, octagon, emerald and heart.

Stable value of investment diamonds

The value of investment diamonds is stable and continues to grow. It is no surprise that these gemstones are eagerly chosen by investors today. It should be emphasized that diamond prices generally start at around 1,500 PLN, and the most expensive products intended for investing cost even several tens of thousands of PLN. The value of diamonds is determined primarily by the 4C parameters. In addition, the industry-recognized Rapaport Price List operates on the market, i.e., a wholesale price list for colorless diamonds, which is published every Thursday. It is compiled by the Rapaport Group, operating in 118 countries and bringing together over 20,000 clients!

Why invest in diamonds?

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