Colored Diamonds as Investments
As demand continues to outstrip supply, Natural Colored Diamonds are experiencing unprecedented price increases. Moreover, Rio Tinto's Argyle Mine, supplier of 90% of the world's Natural Colored Diamonds is scheduled for closure in 2018, after which the gems will undoubtedly spike in value.
Natural Colored Diamonds are a secure way to diversify your portfolio with a tangible hard asset you directly control & possess. The factors surrounding Natural Colored Diamonds make them a protected investment, even during a time of economic uncertainty.
The Rarity of Natural Colored Diamonds
For every 10,000 carats of white diamonds only ONE is a natural coloured diamond, only 5% of which is investment quality. To give further perspective, Argyle is the world's largest producer of pink diamonds producing over 90% of the world's pink diamonds, and those gems only account for 0.1% of total production at the mine.
Ever-Increasing Value
- Natural Colored Diamonds are the most concentrated form of wealth on the planet. Historically, they have never gone down in value.
- To give perspective on their value, a one-carat, high quality white diamond is worth $10,000, while the equivalent natural pink diamond can reach a value of $400,000.
- Prices for Natural Fancy Pink Diamonds have increased over 400% in recent years, from $10,000 to in excess of $400,000 per carat.
- "Aphrodite", a spectacular 1.01 carat round, purplish red diamond sold at a record price in 2008, in excess of $1 million (US).
Production at Argyle mine decreased by 20% to 29.1 million carats from 2005 to 2006. Output from the mine will continue to decline with an expected end of mine life around 2018. When the mine closes for good, Argyle's Natural Colored Diamonds, particularly those in the ArgylePink collection, are expected to spike in value.
