DIAMOND LAND

When you’ve set your sights at 5 carats, diamond become scarce. This makes a 5 carat loose diamond perfect for investment purposes. When buying 5 carat diamonds as an investment you have to consider the rarity above all else. The rarer the diamond, the more secure your investment will be. On the other hand you also have to check if there is a market, what good is an investment if you are unable to find a buyer?

Another use for a 5 carat diamond could be custom-made jewelry like a necklace or ring that would make for the perfect family heirloom.

Famous diamonds are extremely popular among collectors but are rarely seen at auction. When an amazing diamond does go under the hammer, it is sure to attract a lot of attention. A great example is the auction of the Archduke Joseph Diamond in November last year.

The Archduke Joseph is a 76.45 carat diamond with a cushion cut. It was sold for $21.5 million, well above the 15 million estimate. If you divide the total price by the carat weight of the Archduke you get a price per carat of over $280.000 which is a record for a colorless diamond!

While a diamond ring is the symbol of love and commitment, other pieces of diamond jewelry have their own meanings as well. A diamond pendant for example derives its meaning from its shape; a pendant with a heart represents love, but the options are far more diverse. A diamond pendant with a pearl can imply distinction, while various religious symbols can be used as well to show ones faith.

A gold and diamond bracelet is not a piece of diamond jewelry that will catch the eye like a pendant would, nor does it have the meaning a diamond ring has. It’s a more strategic choice for fashion and an excellent gift for the sophisticated girl or lady when you don’t want to imply a life commitment yet.
