Polished Diamond Prices Show Small Decline in September
October 01, 17(IDEX Online News) – After slight increases in July and August, the IDEX polished diamond price index showed a decline in September.
The Index began the month at 120.74 and ended at 119.49.
Outlook
The market has started to come back to life over the past month following the traditionally quiet summer vacation.
