Don't outsource your assets, outsource your risk!

This is the conclusion reached by the NDC (Natural Diamond Council) in its report published in July 2025, noting a growing interest in these extraordinary stones. The diamond industry could – given the tightening of supply and the diversification of demand – even be entering a new era in the trade of fancy-color diamonds.

This question was raised by The New York Times in a recently published article, which offered several very insightful and surprisingly simple answers.

While white (colorless) diamonds experienced another significant price decline of approximately 13% in 2024, the market for fancy diamonds remained stable in Q4 2024. Despite global economic uncertainties and challenges, this resilience further underscores the enduring appeal of fancy color diamonds.

What nature forms over millions of years can now be simulated in laboratories and produced in nearly any color. This naturally raises the question: Will synthetic diamonds, meaning lab-grown diamonds, replace natural colored diamonds as exclusive high-end luxury products? A look at market trends in other industries allows us to confidently answer this question with “no.”

Given the “price drop” of nearly 20% in colorless (white) diamonds in 2023, which began with the anticipated end of the COVID-19 pandemic and continues into 2024, this is a valid question.

A pink diamond ring was the top seller at the recent Christie’s jewelry auction in New York. With a sale price of $13.3 million, it surpassed its high estimate of $9 to $12 million. “The Eden Rose exceeded all expectations” said Rahul Kadakia, the international head of jewelry at Christie’s.*

The financial crisis, low-interest rates, and the looming recession due to COVID-19 have shifted investors’ attention back to tangible assets, including diamonds. Since the 1960s, their value has steadily increased, with a price growth of over 1,000 percent.

Cryptocurrencies may not be suitable as a store of value for eternity. But diamonds are: they concentrate the greatest value in the smallest space, are handy, and easy to hide.

Tangible assets as an investment are nowadays always the safe form of investment. Almost all paper assets, shares, participations, insurances, etc. have proven to be very risky in the recent past.

Diamonds have long been regarded as the most precious gift one person can give another. The valuable stone symbolizes some of humanity’s highest ideals—it stands for strength, loyalty, purity, perfection, and eternity.

For years, investors seeking security primarily turned to gold. But the precious metal’s price has recently weakened, prompting a closer look at an alternative store of value: diamonds.

More than six decades ago, Marilyn Monroe explained to the male world how to win a girl’s heart: “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend,” sang the 1950s sex symbol in the comedy Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. After all, when girls grow old and men grow cold, at least the beautiful, valuable gemstones remain.

The world capital of gemstones is noticing that diamonds are becoming ever more desirable—among investors and thieves alike. Yet traders of these coveted stones display a remarkable nonchalance.

Small enough to fit in any pocket: In their search for safe investments, investors have also discovered diamonds. They combine high value in a very small space. But here, not everything that glitters is valuable.
