Diamond Prices With diamonds, the consumer can compare prices easily. Value determining elements, such as color, purity, and cut, are internationally defined.and can be controlled. Of course, there are profit margins and pursuit of profit. One can, however, avoid outright fraud by dealing with diamond wholesalers and established jewelers . Here a code of honor prevails like nowhere else in world trade. On the diamond stock exchanges, the wholesale diamond markets, business has been sealed from even the earliest times with a firm handshake and a person's word.
Color stone prices With colored stones, price often fluctuates greatly, even in the serious trade, since gem extraction sometimes depends on chance happenings that cannot be predicted. As always, beauty, rarity, and gemstone size determine price. However, in contrast with diamond trade, there are no controlling organization, no possible exertion of influence on honest trade. Furthermore, many small businesses are active with extraction and production. They often seek direct contact with the consumer, particularly tourists who are in the buying mood, and deceitfully exploit their ignorance.
Price Lists Numerous institutions such as diamond stock exchanges, gemological facilities, and professional journals publish current market prices and long term price tendencies. This pricing information is intended for trade and traders and not for the consumer who incurs substantial surcharges set by traders.
Price of stones are usually expressed"per carat" .The carat price often progressively increases with the size of the stone. For example, a one carat piece might coast $750, but a two carat piece is not necessarily worth twice the amount, or @1500, but perhaps $3000 or more.
Less valuable stones such as agate are sold by grams and kilograms, not carat.
