    In India people find gold investment better because they can sell it back in minutes fir the same price or more....instant cash in times of need. You can never do that with diamonds. Return rate for gold is 100% return value to the same shop you bought it from... but diamond are only 75% value.

    In conclusion, there's nothing special about diamonds and they are horrible investments. Just ask anyone who tried selling their engagement rings. Just remember that jewelers make a living selling diamonds and nothing's wrong with that. An average jeweler would have 100x more diamonds in their inventory than any other gems for sale and that alone should give one an idea of how rare diamonds are not. De Beers controls the market. I am glad to see The Average Jeweler is honest at the end of the video by not recommending that diamonds as good financial investment.

Maybe I'm wrong, but typically insurance is a good measurement stick on value, or not.

    I cut opals for a hobby and even after a year of research cannot answer the question on whether they are a good investment or not. The way I see it however, is that if you took up skydiving, then the resale value of that experience is zero. Therefore, I can sell the stones I have cut possibly for a loss if times get tough but it is money in the bank. Re diamonds, in really nervous of investing in them because I'm wary of ethics and politics surrounding the stones. I'll happily buy a grown diamond, just because I know for a fact no one has died for it.

    Are there any other stones that will grow in investment soon? Like Tanzanite? How much do u think that will grow? Tanzanite is cheap right now... or I think so at least

    • @YourAverageJeweler
      @YourAverageJeweler  Před 3 lety +7

      If I really knew the answer to that I’d be likely doing something different.😜 it’s in many cases hard to definitively predict exactly what pricing will do. Tanzanite for example has gone up and down based on whether they think there’s more of it to be found or if they feel like they’re coming to the end of their deposits. When dealers and vendors suspect a gemstone is running out the prices usually go up, and vice versa. Tanzanite is a little bit lower than it was when people were concerned about the supply, but a lot of Tanzanite being sold especially online is not as vivid and is lower quality Tanzanite. Nice quality Tanzanite that is clean and has vivid saturation is still relatively valuable. The best I can tell you is if you buy a nice quality gemstone that has a higher rarity to it, usually something that’s not treated or one of the more obscure And desirable. A nice piece of natural alexandrite for example or a high-quality untreated ruby. Those are usually the type of stones that will go up more predictably overtime, but I wish I had a crystal ball to tell you exactly which one is the best. If I could’ve purchased a ton of nice quality tourmaline 10 years ago, that would’ve been a phenomenal move at the time. I hope that helps and best of luck.

    first of all I want to say thank you so so so much you really did something that nobody will ever think about it maybe other people when they want to do as this video '' about investment diamond '' they might say you go buy and sell it just buy anything you want and you could sell it at '' good price '' but please explain to me what you mean as '' good price '' ? well you will find out you might lost 80% of the value in this video you explain it very well I can give you prove of that when you buy a van clef or like any other famous brands like neckless or diamond ring that cost like 5k-6k $ you lose like 50% at the minimum because when you want to sell it nobody will look at the brand they will need something call ' diamond ' so when you want to invest I agreed when you talked about auctions in the auctions when I see something that has return value or he got investment of it like collection of whatever was cost 60k or 50k at 1926 and now days it's worth 300k so... you might get investment in small money for example 50 carat diamond someone sell it like 1$ and he wasn't know about the value then you can make invest of it there is many reasons it's big topic but when you want to investment in small amount of money it's like 99% to be lucky person that's my opinion and I think I said something right not wrong

    • @YourAverageJeweler
      @YourAverageJeweler  Před 3 lety +1

      I tried to focus specifically on just diamonds for this video. Jewelry investment can be an entirely different discussion with many other variables. As far as what is a good price for a diamond... most are selling it reasonably close in cost, unless you’re talking about smaller diamonds set into random jewelry, then it’s just a matter of what they are looking for within that given piece of jewelry and not necessarily the value of the diamonds themselves. When you’re shopping for a nicer quality diamond most jewelers are not putting a significant amount of markup into it, but it can be good to compare a couple stones next to each other rather than just going off of lab reports. When people strictly trust the paper without looking at the diamonds, that is where I think most are more likely to run into trouble. They think they got a better quality diamond because it says so on a lab report, when in reality it actually looks worse than a diamond that might not look as good on paper. I hope that answers that question. Again, thanks for watching!

    Diamonds are NOT RARE. You can fill up a football stadium with all the diamonds in the world. Fine quality diamonds ARE NOT RARE. call up your local Cartier boutique, Van Cleef boutique, Tiffany boutique. They have plenty of 3 carat and larger diamonds to sell you. Yea they don't have enough for everyone in the country but they definitely have plenty to sell you.

    • @YourAverageJeweler

      It seems people are confusing rarity with extinction. Yes, there are large diamond to be found, but the fact that you need to go to a Cartier, Tiffany’s or Van Cleefs to find a high quality diamond like this regularly in store implies they are not easy to come by. I am certainly not saying everyone needs a diamond or should pay for one. It just seems ignorant how many people complain on the premise that they are sooo common. If you just want diamond, than go buy a blade at Home Depot. But diamonds the average person wants, are such a small fraction of what is mined. Rarity is relative I suppose, but diamond is not so available that we should expect quality/clean diamonds to be “cheap. “ Is be curious what your source is for the football field comparison and what their criteria is, but even so, by consumer standards in today’s world, most things we purchase stretch around world multiple times…And they are not “imperishable .“ I think we just need perspective when complaining about diamonds. I wish they were less expensive, but I am concerned we lose all perspective when someone tells us how many there are and that you can fill an entire football field. I’m just trying to offer perspective and everyone thinks I’m selling diamonds. I have not sold a single diamond to date from CZcams. Because I’m not trying. I’m just trying to educate based on what I’ve observed and know… just saying.

      @@YourAverageJeweler please don't feel that i am attacking you or yelling at you cause i am not. I just think the concept of "rarity" is the issue. In comparison to quartz, diamonds are rare. In comparison to Da Vinci paintings, diamonds are not rare. I've been to diamond trade shows that fill up convention centers. Certain African countries have a truckload of fine diamonds in their treasuries. Diamonds are not in scarce supply. I know jewelry stores that replace missing diamonds in pave designs for free. What is rare are customers willing to pay thousands and thousands of dollars for high quality diamonds. Even then the concept of high quality diamonds being rare is an entirely different subject and even then there is an enormous supply of fine quality diamonds. Rarity is often a concept of demand, not supply. DeBeers and other huge diamond suppliers will hold back on releasing diamonds onto the market in order not to oversaturate it and have prices fall. At the end of the day, Diamonds are a commodity just like pig feet.

    Sorry, but this price thing you are trying to tell us makes no sense, not every diamonds is individually mined to order, they are mined in bulk, and they are shipped in bulk, by your definition , apples should be as pricey as diamonds, because the are also individually plated and individually harvested to order and then shipped, right?
    Let's be real, there are very large amounts of diamonds mined every year, most of them selling with a 1000% margin by the mining company, because they have a monopole on diamond mining.
    So yes, fromn a jewler's perspective, they are selling and buying at market value, and its true, bigger diamonds are more valuable, BUT the price is still artificially kept that high.
    Also, please yes, there is more mining necessary, to get a big diamond, but they will also mine small diamonds in the process, that will also be sold, so its not that easy!
    Most gemstones will keep their value of undergo normal market fluctuation, not so diamonds. Diamond will loose up to 50% of value upon payment...

    • @YourAverageJeweler
      @YourAverageJeweler  Před 3 lety +2

      You make some good points, but at the end of the day it is supply and demand, so personal opinions only change the price if the demand actually changes because of it. Diamonds DO need to be individually cut and finished regardless of whether they were mined together. Also, saying there is a lot of something, doesn't mean that everyone who wants one can get it. If it were easy and everywhere we could all mine our own, or at the very least, a monopoly wouldn't be able to exist. Wanting something to be different doesn't change how it is.

    I think Deflation is a perfect word to use. Diamonds have been used as currency in the past. They still function in that way somewhat.
    We are experiencing asset deflation and inflation at the same time. It all depends on macroeconomics that decides which force dominates over a time frame.

    • @tipr8739

      Ironically, with low interest rates, it entices the marginal producer of a good (one who would make little profit in business and suffer a loss if interest rates were higher) to come to market with their good. That might be diamonds or gasoline or whatever else. It therefore just barely increases the supply of that good, driving down the price. It also incentives the return seeker or saver to lend their money out to ever riskier ventures to try to demand a return. Therefore, ironically the low prices of interest are associated with commodity production against the force of inflation which leads to hoarding and holding of real marketable products and in the he final phase of the fist currency cycle, commodities themselves.
