Factors Affecting Prices of Diamonds

Diamonds only become valuable after cutting as the shine and shimmer effect of diamond is only visible after cutting only. In its natural form diamond has no shine and luster. Cutting is a very important factor in deciding the price of diamonds.

Pricing of every item is quite a simple thing to do. Generally, determining how much it costs to make the item, how much it costs to market that item, and then mark it up by 15 - 30% or more. This is actually a simple thing to do. However, pricing real diamonds is not quite that simple. There are many factors that are considered when diamonds are priced.

Price of diamond is calculated first by adding the cost from the raw diamonds, the cost of cutter the diamonds, and then by adding all other necessary costs included which is been there to make raw diamonds into a saleable diamond. Depending on the importance from the diamond, an independent company maybe called in to certify the grade from the diamond based on color, cut, clarity, and as well , extra weight.

After adding up all these prices diamond becomes more expensive and prices keep on increasing every time it changes hands, until it finally reaches the retailer, where the cost is raised a bit more. So before retailer diamond is traveled from the mine, to the cutter and then polisher, to the independent grading company, and then to the Primary market.

But it is worthless to buy these diamonds somewhere in between this complete process as this is going to be priceless thing you will buy. So it is not worth diamonds somewhere between this process even if comes at lower price. The worth is based on what the diamond will sell for in the market place - through a retailer.

While making a purchase of diamonds you can get the certificate of authentication through GIA - Gemological Institute of America. With the details on this certificate, you can use a cutter’s guide to accurately determine what your diamond is worth.
