Bi Diamonds Released Ways Of Price Appreciation Of Diamonds

Online, July 24, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Bi Diamonds released the ways of price appreciation of diamonds. Price

appreciation of diamonds is gathered from a historic analysis of select categories of colored diamonds, rather

than generic diamonds as a whole and certainly not on individual gems, where most pricing exceptions occur.

Company has released the complete analysis of their studies on their official website of BiDiamonds.com. Brief

of the complete analysis is as follows:

White Diamonds

White diamonds are the kind we normally think about and represent 99.99% of all polished diamonds sold. The

lower grade white diamonds of all sizes show little to no potential for appreciation. Better quality diamonds

in the 1 to 2 carat size generally hold their value against inflation. The larger 3, 5 and 10-carat white

diamonds of superior quality have demonstrated at least 8% to 11% compounded annual rates of return for the

past 10 years.

Natural Colored Diamonds

Natural colored diamonds, known as fancy colored diamonds, have historically proven to be better investments

than white diamonds, because of their rarity and unique colors. In fact, they have never gone down in value

over the past 30 years. As a testament to the rarity, only one carat of natural colored diamonds is there in

every 100,000 carats of white diamonds mined.

Fancy colored diamonds are found in all colors including blue, red, pink, green, purple, orange, black, brown

and yellow. The colors are determined by varying components of trace minerals that become included in the

chemical structure of the diamond as it is being formed in the earth.

Whereas white diamonds are valued for their lack of color, with noticeable colors of light brown or yellow

actually detracting from their appeal and value, fancy colored diamonds become more appealing and valuable with

increased saturations of color. The more color the better.

• Red Diamonds are the rarest of all colored diamonds. Depending on their size, (most are less than one carat),

they are likely to double in less than 5 years.

• Blue diamonds, one of the rarest of the fancy colored diamonds, have appreciated at an annual compounded rate

of 15% per year. At this rate of appreciation, an investment doubles every 5 years.

• Pink diamonds are also very rare and double in price every 6 to 7 years, providing a compounded appreciate

rate of 10% to 12%. Some larger pink diamonds have appreciated at the same or greater rates than blue diamonds.

• Yellow diamonds double every 8 to 10 years or 7% to 9% compounded annually.

• Brown diamonds are less expensive and not generally valued as investments. However, it has become more

popular in jewelry due to aggressive marketing and appealing trade names as "Cognac" and "Champagne".

• Black diamonds are the least expensive and are not used for investment purposes, unless they have unusual

qualities. It has also become popular in contemporary jewelry.

According to Bi Diamond's expert, "It is not uncommon to pay at least $100,000 to over $1,000,000 per carat for

a red, blue or pink natural colored diamond, depending on its size and color saturation. These incredible

prices continued, because natural colored diamonds are very rare, attractive and proven best for buyers.
