Extreme Scarcity & Popular Demand

To fully comprehend their true rarity take into consideration that for every 10,000 carats of colourless diamonds that are mined only one single carat will be a Natural Fancy Coloured Diamond. This tiny and ever depleting world supply combined with a recent surge of buyer demand is resulting in dramatic annual price increases of over 30% per year on average. Since the 1970’s (when their price tracking began) Natural Fancy Coloured Diamonds have never decreased in value. There is simply not enough product in the world to fulfill the continuously growing investor demand, let alone over saturate this market. Whether it be real estate, stocks, gold, silver, oil or bonds no other investment can boast this fact.

Because these coloured gems are not tied to a globally priced market (like their colourless counterparts) their true individual value is determined by what a buyer will pay at auction. In this sense they are more comparable to investing in fine art as opposed to traditional market-valued investments, which unfortunately can be subject to negative influences, price manipulation and extreme volatility.

Wealth Preservation and Asset Appreciation

In these times of economic uncertainty, it is incumbent that one takes pre-emptive measures to insure the security of their hard earned nest egg from risks that are becoming progressively more prevalent. From global economic instability to the very real threat of serious currency devaluation and inflation there has never been a more important time in history to take the necessary actions in securing your personal and family’s financial future. Their historical track record of never decreasing in value, even through boom and bust economic cycles make Natural Fancy Coloured Diamonds the ultimate hedge against inflation and the epitome of what a true hard asset represents.

Hard assets skyrocket during periods of inflation. This combined with the quickly diminishing supply and rapidly increasing world demand is setting the stage for dramatic price increases in the very near future. No other investment can concentrate wealth better. One has the ability to make a one million dollar investment with complete privacy and no bureaucratic oversight. There is not a more discrete, condensed and portable way to secure your financial future than by investing in Natural Fancy Coloured Diamonds.

Whether set in a fine piece of Custom Jewelry or safely secured in a GIA Sealed Casing, investing in Natural Fancy Coloured Diamonds is the ultimate Hard Asset to safeguard your wealth and diversify your investment portfolio.

GIA Report

It is crucial to make certain the authenticity of the diamond you are purchasing can be verified through certification. Northern Cross Diamonds guarantees every Natural Fancy Coloured Diamond that we sell by providing our clients with a trusted certificate (GIA, IGI, HRD) along with all of our stones. This fully detailed report ensures the quality of the specific stone that you are receiving.

In order to classify a stone as a Natural Fancy Coloured Diamond it must first be certified in a gemological institute such as the GIA, HRD or IGI. Once the diamond has been graded and certified it will be assigned its own personal ID. This will include a unique, engraved Serial Number along with all of the specific diamond information pertaining to it’s measurements, weight, shape, clarity, polish, symmetry and fluorescence.

GIA Sealing

Northern Cross Diamonds offers a unique service for all Investment Stones through the Gemological Institute of America known as GIA Sealing. This sealing service provides your Investment Diamond with its key grading information in a credit card-sized, tamper-resistant, sealed package. The package keeps the stone, its report number and its primary gemological details (such as report date, shape and the Four Cs) together in a secure, easy-to-display packet. It also contains multiple security features, including the GIA hologram. The packet shows that your Investment Diamond has been graded by GIA and the information in it matches the stone displayed (which will help prevent attempts to misrepresent the item and its report). This service is a must have for any Natural Fancy Coloured Diamond Investment. Please contact one of our Diamond Investment Consultants today and we will be happy to give you more details on this special feature.

Choosing The Right Company

When searching for the right company to begin your investment in Natural Fancy Coloured Diamonds, there are several guidelines that you should always follow:

1. Avoid dealing with companies who don't list their prices or disclose the full information of the diamonds that they are selling. There is probably a good reason for this.
2. Be certain the company's diamonds come with proper certification to guarantee the authenticity of the stone.
3. Make sure the company offers a full return and refund policy for all of their items.

Now that you have some basic knowledge on what to look for when deciding on the right company, here is some general advice for selecting an investment diamond that's right for you:

Yellow Diamonds Vs. Pink Diamonds

It's important to begin the process by establishing your budget. Decide first what you are comfortable to invest and then begin by viewing stones in that price range. When dealing with Coloured Diamonds the number one factor that affects the value of a stone is of course, Colour. For Yellow Diamonds, investors should begin by only looking to purchase Internally Flawless stones, over one carat in size. From there seek the strongest colour saturation that your budget permits (Vivid, Intense, Fancy).

Pink Diamonds are far more rare and have a much higher per carat value than Yellow. Therefore, a majority of pink stones available are much smaller in size. Anything over .20 of carat is a good start. In comparison to Yellow Diamonds, clarity does not play nearly as much of a role as in Pink. Consider the fact that out of the approximately 55 stones selected each year to be presented at the annual Argyle Pink Diamond Tender a majority range from SI1-I1 clarity. This should go to show you that if the Argyle Mine itself considers it's 55 most prestigious stones (out of thousands mined that year) are those with generally low clarity, then obviously a pink diamond's strong colour saturation is the most important factor when determining it's value.

Also look for Pink Diamonds that have Argyle Certificates and/or Argyle Inscriptions. These are certificates/inscriptions that come directly from the Argyle Mine itself to prove a diamonds official Argyle origin. The more documentation that you have for your investment the more desirable and valuable it will be, especially when considering to re-sell in the future. Of course there are a number of other factors to also consider. Feel free to contact one of our Diamond Consultants today. We'll be happy to answer any questions that you may have.
