Diamonds are not only valuable investments, but also beautiful and desirable objects. They can also be worn and enjoyed as jewelry, making them a versatile investment. 
 
Due to their low correlation with other asset classes, these precious stones are suitable for diversification purposes. 
 
The global diamond market was estimated at $94.9 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $139.9 billion by 2030. The global demand for diamonds is steadily increasing, driven by demand from Asia as well as high-yielding investment opportunities in diamonds. Furthermore, the long-term investment horizon and low liquidity of the diamond market have a positive impact on their performance. 
 
Price stability 
Diamonds typically have a stable value and are not subject to the same level of fluctuations as other asset classes. 
 
Inflation protection 
In contrast to paper currency or other currencies, diamonds generally retain their value when inflation rises. 
 
Limited supply 
Diamonds are a limited resource that is not indefinitely available.

"Diamonds weighing over 1 carat and with the highest grading, like the brilliant present, are extremely rare. Nature has not produced diamonds for millions of years, making them a finite resource. These factors contribute to natural diamonds being very stable in value and thus serving as a hedge against inflation. Diamonds are physical assets highly valued worldwide." - Patrick Zeunert, Founder of The BrandZ GmbH 
 
Why Invest in Diamonds? 
Physical Asset 
Diamonds represent a tangible asset that can be physically held, unlike stocks or bonds, providing a sense of ownership and enjoyment. 
 
Preservation of Value 
For centuries, diamonds have been recognized as a means of preserving wealth due to their durability and resistance to corrosion, making them a reliable investment option over the long term. 
 
Protection Against Inflation 
Similar to real estate and gold, diamonds can serve as a hedge against inflation, potentially increasing in value over time to keep pace with or even outpace inflation rates. 
 
Ease of Transport 
Diamonds are highly portable, facilitating international diversification and making them a valuable asset in terms of mobility. 
 
Diversification Benefits 
With a potentially low correlation to traditional financial markets, diamonds offer diversification benefits, meaning their value may not always move in line with stocks, bonds, or other investments, thereby reducing overall portfolio risk. 
 
Stability 
Over the past five years, diamonds weighing 1 to 2 carats have exhibited an annual volatility of less than 2%, indicating a relatively stable investment option. 
 
Inherent Value 
The rarity of diamonds, coupled with the resources required for their extraction and processing, gives them intrinsic value, providing investors with a sense of security. 
 
Why These Diamonds? 
 
Emphasis on Liquidity Based on Size and Grade Diamonds ranging from 1 to 2 carats in size and graded D-IF or D-Fl are considered high-quality and highly liquid within the jewelry industry. These diamonds, often used in engagement rings or premium jewelry, are esteemed for their rarity and value. The 1 to 2-carat size is particularly popular for engagement rings due to its balance between size and affordability. 
 
Highest Grade: D-IF 
The D-IF grade denotes the diamond's color and clarity, with D indicating the highest color grade (completely colorless) and Internally Flawless (IF) indicating that the diamond is free from internal blemishes under 10x magnification. However, IF diamonds may have slight surface blemishes, although no imperfections are noticeable under 10x magnification.

The BrandZ

As the son of a family of gemstone dealers, I was influenced by sparkling treasures from an early age. Before I joined the family business, however, I completed an apprenticeship as a bank clerk, which taught me how to deal with numbers. My subsequent studies in gemology helped me to buy and sell gemstones. 10 years later, I was attracted by the offer to work for the world's largest watch and jewellery retailer. At first in purchasing for jewellery production and finally as Managing Director of 8 sales outlets with over 140 employees.

This is a concrete investment opportunity in which we have recalculated the expected performance given by the external expert (The BrandZ GmbH) and have thus checked whether a positive return can be expected after deducting all costs for storage and insurance. Furthermore, we have verified the existence, proper storage and insurance of the diamond.
