(
I-Canada-News.Com, June 19, 2013 ) Ontario, Canada -- In an age where economy and inflation are almost synonymous to each other,
investment decisions have become more complex and less secured. Any investment avenue ideally should return more than the rate of inflation in a year’s time or else the investment will eventually end-up depreciating the overall investment
portfolio. Spreading of risks needs to be considered and hence the modern-day economy demands hunting new avenues for investment in addition to traditional sources.
Diamonds are rapidly emerging as one of the preferred new-age avenues for investments. Most luxury items have an expiration date but Jewelry, and especially diamonds, can last forever and have more “intrinsic value” than cars and houses. For Estate Planning purposes they are usually an important part of an inheritance. Thus Diamonds make a favorable investment for those looking at widening their risk portfolio.
Market trends also indicate that this is a period favorable for investing in diamonds. Demand will outstrip supply for the next decade as emerging economies in China and India are going through a transition phase to serve consumer-buying interests. As per the current industry outlook, the
Diamond industry sees a steady growth and prospective investors can expect good returns on their investments. Based on the quality of the investment made five years back, the investor today would have an appreciation of around 45 – 50% on their investment.

The price of natural color diamonds varies widely depending on the color, market demand and rareness. The following list presents the maximum value that color diamonds can reach, from highest to lowest. Prices also depend on the intensity of the color, and on the purity and weight of the diamond.
EDITOR NOTES: WHILE WE VALUE MR. LANGERMAN’S EXPERIENCE AND OPINION, IN OUR OPINION, THE PRICES LISTED BELOW REPRESENT THE MAXIMUM RETAIL PRICES IN EACH CATEGORY. WHOLESALE PRICING WILL BE LESS PER CARAT. PRICES FOR VIVID OR DEEP COLORED DIAMONDS WOULD REPRESENT THE TOP OF THE VALUE SCALE OR SLIGHTLY HIGHER.
