(IDEX Online News) – Price changes in round diamonds were more pronounced in goods of less than 1 carat. Items sized between 0.30- 0.44-carats were mostly up in the SI1 and better clarity range. Goods in the 1.00-1.24-carat range showed both positive and negative changes, but were largely static overall. Many items in the 3.00-3.99-carat range moved downward, but there was almost no price movement in items sized 4 carats to 5 carats.

 

There was not much movement in fancy goods during the month. Items in the 1.00-1.24-carat category showed localized increases. Goods sized 0.80-0.89 and 2.00-2.99 carats showed the most widespread price decreases. There was almost no price fluctuation, either up or down, in 3-carat, 4-carat and 5-carat goods.

  

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