How to Price Diamonds?
Unlike other products, pricing diamonds couldn’t be just by calculating the cost of production and marketing cost.
There are several factors that should be counted to determine diamonds price. First, diamond prices would be influenced by the cost of turning the rough mine diamond into a marketable diamond. Aside from other production costs, the cutting cost will be the dominant expense that a diamonds company should pay. Another cost could be polish process since it needs distinct professional polisher to turn on the diamond shine. Next, depending on the importance of the diamond, an independent laboratory may be called in to certify the grade of the diamond based on color, cut, clarity, and carat- known as 4Cs.
Now the diamonds are ready to sell. At this point, the diamond may become more expensive each time it changes hands. Before reaching the retailer, however, the diamond must travel to diamond dealers and wholesalers.
As you can see, the longer the line the more expensive diamonds will be. That’s why, the earlier you can purchase a diamond in the process, the lower the cost of the diamond that you can have. Purchasing a diamond from a wholesaler would be wiser since you will have most considerable price.
If you own a diamond already, and you have no idea how much it is worth, you can have it appraised. However the appraisal may not be the same in several assessment agents. You will be better off obtaining a certificate through GIA – Gemological Institute of America. With the selective information on this certificate, you will be able to use a cutter’s guide to find out more precisely what your diamond is worth.
There are also many online diamond price calculators available. Many diamond dealers use these as well. But using a Diamond Grading Report will be much better. This will provide you the most exact value of the diamond in your possession, or of the diamond that you are considering to purchase.
