If
you are shopping for diamonds, be prepared
to spend some time researching the subject. There are many variables that
determine quality, value and prices of diamonds. Some you can control,
others are based solely on market conditions and supply and demand.
This
web site is designed to give consumers an overview of diamond terminology,
the "4 C's",
shapes of diamonds
and explain diamond
grading reports. But we also show you something no other web site
does - a weekly price trend report which we call the Diamond
Prices Index (DPI) which is similar to a stock index that shows current
market trends for diamond prices. We also have a searchable
database of diamond prices from leading online jewelers.

The
main focus of this site is pricing trends by online diamond merchants.
Online jewelers base their prices on a well trusted source in the industry,
which updates prices every Friday for Round
diamonds, and once a month for other fancy shapes.
The
diamond pricing in this report is published for jewelers, diamond wholesalers
and diamond retailers only, and is not intened to be shared with the general
public. We are not allowed to publish the specific contents of this price
list, but we can show you what the overall pricing trend is for the industry
as a whole on a week to week basis, so you can pick the best time to buy. |
