IDEX Price Report for 1 September: Polished Diamond Prices Are Mixed

(IDEX Online) - Uncertain times are reflected in an uncertain market, with few price movements during July and little to discern by way of overall trends. A glance at the charts shows a more or less equal split between red (falls) and green (rises). Key one-carats (1.00-1.24cts), both round and fancy cuts, were pretty much static. Only the smallest fancies (0.18-0.22cts) showed consistent increases.
