(IDEX Online News) – Polished prices continued their upward trend this week and continue to be more positive than we have seen for some time. Just a few isolated categories experienced downward movement, notably rounds below 0.5 carats.

 

Could the price bump from the recent Hong Kong show be continuing? It’s too early to say and we continue to wait and see.

 

Following are some of the main changes in this week's IDEX Online Diamond Price Report.
