And here is what even before the crisis, the person concerned has:
RBC Question: In your opinion, in an increasingly unstable world financial system, whether diamonds can be an investment tool that will save (s) or multiply the means of the population?
Answer: There is a prejudice that the price of diamonds will never fall and grow continuously. This established the idea of using diamonds as an investment tool. However, during 2000 - 2003, the market diamonds stagnant prices. In some categories of diamond prices rose on the other - were falling off, but generally remained stable. So against the backdrop of inflation, consider a diamond only as an object of investment made no sense.
RBC Question: To what extent this is true for savings in the short and long term?
A: And when buying, and selling diamonds dealers and jewelers in one form or another keep their commissions. It turns out that buying a diamond, we pay the dealer, and selling a diamond, again we pay the dealer. Unlike exchange operations in the exchange, the size of the commission the dealer is not transparent and known to the investor. If the value of diamonds has increased over the year, for example, 10%, the profits from the sale of the diamond after a year of ownership, they may not cover costs.
