Long Term Appreciation

Averaging 10-15% Per Year

The jewel in the Tiffany crown is surely the fabled Tiffany Yellow, at 128.54 metric carats. Discovered in South Africa in 1877 or 1888, the uncut stone originally purchased for around $18,000 was valued at around $12 million in 1983.

Coloured diamonds have revalued an average of 10-15% per year ever since formal records were first kept in the early 1970’s. How’s that for an outperformer? Market prices may go up and down, but the long-term trend is definitely up. In a market with thousands of participants, worth billions of dollars, we believe we have barely seen the tip of the iceberg in this growing phenomenon.

Concentrated Wealth – Storehouse of Value

Invest in coloured diamonds and you’ve really got something. Not some piece of paper (or computerized record thereof), not some fantasy hedge fund, and not likely to be taxed or expropriated. They also enjoy a kind of permanence and invulnerability no collector car, or art masterpiece can promise.

Better Than Cash

Even U.S. dollars can fluctuate significantly and unpredictably. The Fed is issuing them in record numbers these days, and when their value drops, as it logically must, your coloured diamonds investment can be your solid storehouse of value.

Gold is the time-honored storehouse of value. Very conservatively, pound for pound, diamonds pack in 600-1500 times the value of gold. Gem quality coloured diamonds, the rarest of the rare, significantly multiply that figure.

Arguably the ultimate convenient and eminently portable storehouse of value, with coloured diamonds you can hold the equivalent of half a dozen or more new Rolls-Royces in the palm of one hand.

Tangible, Usable, Re-Salable

Unlike a stock certificate, bond or T-Bill, this is an investment you can hold in your hand. Coloured diamonds can be mounted, displayed and appreciated on the fingers, wrists, ears or neck of a loved one if you so choose. You can always have them un-mounted and up for resale at short notice. You may even fetch a better price with mounted stones.

Five Compelling Reasons to Invest

1. Privacy – no disclosure or registration of diamond holdings is required in most countries.
2. Portability – coloured diamonds are the most concentrated form of wealth. A multi-million dollar portfolio can be discreetly placed in a small envelope.
3. Estate Planning – as an heirloom, coloured diamonds can be easily passed from one generation to the next.
4. Price Stability – even when a severe recession hits, collectors and investors tend to liquidate more easily replaced assets first. Thus a flood of coloured diamonds on the market is unlikely and has yet to occur.
5. Long Term Growth – Because of the rarity and the steady increase in demand for quality coloured diamonds, we’re convinced prices should continue to rise over the next decade as they have over the last three decades.
