"Rational Stone" Becomes The New Favorite Of Investors.

According to data from China jewelry and jewelry industry association, sales of diamond in the whole country exceeded 1 billion yuan from early May last year, and the consumption of diamonds from 2 carats to 5 carats increased by more than 40% over the same period last year.

According to the reporter, at the end of April last year, in the context of the new deal of property market and the shock of stock market, some funds were gradually evacuated from the property market and stock market and pferred to new investment fields such as diamonds.

Since last May, the sales volume of diamonds has increased. It is estimated that about 1/3 of the buyers are converted from speculators and speculators.

Financial experts say that the need to find safer and more stable investment touchpoints for domestic hot money is an important reason for the surge in naked drilling prices.

Phenomenon

New export of hot money has become a new favorite.

"From the end of last year to the present, the price has increased by 20% on average whether naked drill or diamond ornaments, and the quality of large carat has increased even higher, and the best selling is the naked drill with 1 carats and above."

The head of Tianjin's largest diamond store told reporters that for example, naked diamonds with around 1 carats are currently priced at more than 110 thousand, compared with 80 thousand yuan last year.

Market analysts say that since last May, more and more investors have been buying naked diamonds, mainly from entrepreneurs and private banks.

Businesses also generally responded that consumers used to buy more diamonds, and now more people buy naked diamonds, which are cut and polished but are not embedded in single diamonds.

"Last week, a woman bought a naked diamond with a total value of nearly 1 million yuan."

A shopkeeper of a jewelry store in Tianjin told reporters that bare diamonds above 2 karats were basically unnoticed before. Now more and more buyers are buying, while bare diamonds over 1 carats sell one every day.

Investment

The best drill for 1 karats is bare drill.

Senior diamond identification analyst said that only 1 carats of diamonds have investment value.

Because only a few diamonds can be processed into more than 1 carats, and 8% of the diamonds in gem grade, and the higher the color, cleanliness, cut level and carat size, the greater the value.

In addition, the value of investment is naked drill, rather than diamond ring, diamond necklace and other consumer goods, because naked drilling has not added too much value, the appreciation of space is large.

If the diamond ring is the general brand, the price of its diamond finished product is more than 3 times that of the naked drill, especially the brand name diamond. Its brand value added makes diamond premium very high and also loses its investment value.

Insiders pointed out that 1 to 3 carats around the naked drill should be short-term investment, such a large consumption of diamonds, Yi Jinyi out; 5 karats and even 10 karats naked drill should be long-term investment, such diamonds are scarce, long-term investment will have more room for growth.

Identification

International and domestic double certificates are more reliable.

"Over the past six months, the number of large carat diamonds has increased significantly, and the owners have both institutions and individuals. After examination, we will issue certificates."

As the only statutory inspection institution in Tianjin, the person in charge of jewelry identification center of the Municipal Quality Inspection Institute said that the certificate is like the diamond's "identity card", indicating all the indicators, which directly determines the quality of diamonds. The identification of diamonds has 4 international standards, which are divided into color, weight, cleanliness and cut work, which are referred to as "4C standards".

In the international certificate, there are three kinds of GIA (American Gem College), IGI (International gemstone Institute), and HRD (Belgium high level Diamond Council), and the most authoritative one is GIA certificate.

The domestic certificate is mainly NGTC diamond grade diamond grading certificate of the national jewellery quality supervision and inspection center and the NGGC diamond and mosaic diamond grading certificate of the national gold and silver products supervision and inspection center.

Insiders said that in order to facilitate circulation in the country, investors who buy diamonds abroad can conduct a further identification in the country, and the double certificates will be more reliable.

Risk

Hard to realize cash flow channels

Abroad, diamonds can be realized through mortgage financing, auctions and even jewellery companies' buyback.

But in the country, it is not easy to get profits from diamonds.

Reporters visited a number of jewelry stores in the city. Only a handful of jewellery shops repurchased diamonds sold by the brand, but the terms and costs of repurchase were relatively high. Some only promised to repurchase the original price, but could only keep the value of money, but some businesses said that with the increase of diamond investment, the repurchase business would be launched during the year, but the specific operation rules had not yet been determined.

The auction requires higher diamonds, usually quality diamonds, and ordinary diamonds can not be auctioned at auction houses.

In addition, judging from the situation of pawnshops in Tianjin, the average grade of diamonds is only 1/3 of the market price.

Financial experts say that if investors need to cash in urgently, investors have better sell diamonds to auction houses.

Not by pawn. "

Reminder

Caution should be taken when buying erroneous investments.

There are still some misunderstandings in diamond investment. As we all know, South African diamonds are good. Many people travel to South Africa to bring their diamonds back. Some businesses have marked diamonds, such as "South African drills" and "Belgian diamonds", so as to raise the price of diamonds to mislead consumers. But the reality is that no matter where the diamonds are produced, the price of 4C will be high if the "standard" is high.

Insiders pointed out that in the total price composition of diamonds, the weight is about 40%, the net degree is 20%, the color is 20%, and the cut is 20%, of which the weight and cleanliness can affect the quality and price of diamonds.

In short, the larger the diamond, the cleaner the color, the more accurate the cutting, the more precious the diamond.

Financial experts remind investors that diamonds belong to the high-end and marginal investment field. They need larger financial strength and better professional knowledge background. Investment must be cautious. Ordinary citizens do not want to see that diamonds increase in price, they want to speculate and be careful to be stuck in diamonds.
