Diamond prices have been rising steadily during August

August has been a busy month for diamond prices. Our price index has risen by 51 points during the past month. This past week we finally saw a break in the price increases and hopefully this indicates a typical late summer slow down in sales which should stabilize prices for the moment.

If you are considering buying an engagement ring or other diamond jewelry this year, now may be the time to strike as prices will resume their upward trend in the fall as we approach the holiday season which is typically the strongest time of the year for diamond and jewelry sales.

So get out there and start shopping - use our loose diamonds search engine to compare prices from multiple jewelers all at once.

Prices moved very slightly higher today - July 22, 2005

Not much of a move in prices today - up just 1% and only for diamonds below .25 carats.

The most expensive diamond you can buy online

Just for fun and in case anybody was wondering, I decided to find the most expensive diamond you could buy online. Now if you have a spare $726,000 or that much available limit on your Visa :), you can have this beautiful 8.90 carat Round Brilliant D Flawless diamond from Mondera.

If you want to find some more moderately and reasonably priced diamonds, or some more ridiculously expensive ones, you should check out our loose diamonds search engine.

Happy hunting!!!

Prices went up today - July 8, 2005

Diamond prices went up today...that's the bad news. The good news (for some of us) is that it only affected diamonds that are 2.00 carats and higher so if you couldn't afford a $25,000 rock before, you still can't! For diamonds below 2.00 carats there was no change in pricing.
