Many have avoided investing in diamonds because of the fall in demand and in price. Those who were in a position to buy diamonds and could hang on to them while waiting it out for recovery took advantage of the low prices. The diamond market is now recovering and prices have gone up. They are still rising, so while there is an increase in diamonds purchases for investment, many investors who have diamonds are still hanging on to them waiting for the price to rise even further. It is one thing to say that the diamond market is recovering, but it takes more than just words to make it happen. Here are some signs that the diamond market is recovering: • Jewelry, gemstone, and diamond shows are filled • Steady price increase over the past 2 years • United States increase in diamond imports • Jewelry retailers increase in diamond sales • Worldwide increase in sales • Diamond companies increases in mining • Massive diamond stockpiles being sold • Increase in revenue for diamond companies • Increase in output of diamond mines So what does this mean to the average diamond jewelry owner?
