How Much Does A Diamond Cost?

When Tony Leung in "Lust Caution" handed the "dove egg" to Tang Wei's hand, she even shook the revolutionary ideal at that instant. When the Queen's mace and the world's largest diamond appeared on the crown, diamonds were equated with dignitaries.

In this age of investment, what is the price of this expensive stone?

Antwerp, Belgium, is known as the "Diamond capital of the world".

8 out of every 10 uncut diamonds in the world will be processed in Antwerp.

Chen Wenqi, a senior lecturer in diamond bird from Taiwan, has long been fascinated by it. Her obsession with diamonds even surpassed herself.

"No diamond in the world is the same. If you look closely, they all have life."

Chen Wenqi said.

The procedure for buying diamonds in Antwerp is to call the local jewelers two days in advance, inform the local jewelers of the size, color and cutting criteria, and make a preliminary selection by the jewelers. After that, the jewelers will take the customers to the jewellery shop and pick up the pre screened diamonds for customers. If there is any intention, you can conclude the paction. If you are not satisfied, the customer will have to stay in this seaside town. As for the specific days, only a few days will be enough for a diamond to be delivered, depending on your luck.

"Antwerp is such a cow. Now the diamond brand with Antwerp elements has great potential for appreciation."

Xu Lei, the president of diamond bird, jokes.

Chen Wenqi knew this very well. She decided that an important reason for the diamond bird was that the diamond bird used the Antwerp classical cutting technology that she admired.

This obviously tests the craftsmanship of the technician. He must be comfortable in taking a single house, and is good at innovating according to the original stone. One of the most respected professions in Antwerp is the diamond cutter.

In people's opinion, the 4C (cut, color, cleanliness and weight) shown in the diamond identification book is the most important criterion for judging diamonds.

The ordinary people seem to pay more attention to 3C (color, cleanliness, weight), that is, the quality of the diamond itself.

But in fact, the cut diamond will directly determine the value of the diamond.

Superb cutting skills can make diamonds look larger than the actual size. For example, flower shaped diamonds have always been popular with consumers because the lace is raised to make the whole diamond look at least 1/3 larger.

"In the process of cutting, round diamonds are the most wasted stone, so round diamonds are the most expensive."

Xu Lei said.

Today, TV is constantly repeating every day: "1 carats of diamonds are worth investing".

"In fact, diamonds above 3 carats not only preserve value, but also have great prospects for appreciation.

The price of 3 carat diamonds is about 23 million yuan, which is the standard price of investment. Of course, 3 carat diamonds can not be easily seen in ordinary shops.

Xu Lei said positively.

Of course, there are diamonds in the best "special-shaped drill."

The cutting of the special-shaped drill is based on the shape of the hairy embryo to determine the most suitable and best cut shape for retaining the weight of the diamond embryo. Therefore, the large size special drill is relatively more.

And from the color, color drill is a high investment value, such as powder drill, blue drill, red drill, yellow drill and so on.

Generally speaking, the diamond industry now admired South Africa's diamond raw materials and Belgium's cutting technology. Such naked drills only need to add accessories such as rings when they reach the processing plant.

"Crazy is bound to lead to misunderstanding.

For example, most investors are willing to buy diamonds in South Africa. In fact, this is not necessary at all. "

Xu Lei pointed out.

Because the diamond industry is currently a legitimate monopoly industry in the world, most diamonds are dominated by a handful of mine owners headed by Day Beers.

No matter where diamond hair is, it should be sent to international accreditation bodies such as GIA, HRD and IGI before cutting into finished diamonds. With authoritative diamond grading appraisal report, the quality of diamonds can be assured.

The South African drill is well known because South Africa is the first place for large-scale industrial mining of diamonds, and is rich in high-quality diamonds.

However, due to the early exploitation, diamond hair has been greatly reduced in South Africa, and its output accounts for only 8% of the world's total.

With the promotion of several giant crocodiles, the price of diamonds is also rising steadily.

From the diamond price list of DELL, BHP and Alrosa of Russia's state Diamond Corp, the original diamond of 1 carats increased by 32% from December 31, 2010 to June 25, 2011.

However, Rodgers, a famous international investor, believes that diamonds are not worth investing.

"Throughout history, the value of emerald, sapphire and ruby in many cultures is higher than that of diamonds. Diamonds become the most precious stones, which are inseparable from the monopoly of Day Beers, but human controlled prices can not last long."

In fact, diamonds will also face a crisis of extinction.

The world's diamond mineral resources can still be mined for about 40 years. On that day, it can continue to say, as the classic slogan says, "diamond is forever, is it forever?"
