diamonds, be prepared to spend some time researching the
subject. There are many variables that determine quality, value
and prices of loose diamonds. Some you can control, others are based
solely on market conditions and supply and demand. This site provides
an overview of diamond terminology, the "4
C's", shapes of diamonds and explains diamond grading reports.
Then we show you something no other web site does - a weekly price
trend report we call the diamond
prices index that shows current market pricing trends for certified
loose diamonds.
