Understanding the Diamond Price: A BAUNAT Guide

Everyone appreciates the unique allure of diamonds – these natural beauties are not only rare but carry a premium price tag too. With BAUNAT, a renowned purveyor of high-quality natural diamonds, customers are willing to invest highly in these precious stones. But how is the price of a diamond truly determined? With our expertise in handcrafted jewellery from Antwerp, we'll illuminate this intriguing subject for you. ​

Read summary

What factors determine the true value of a diamond in today's market?

The price of a diamond is influenced by both its physical characteristics and market dynamics. A perfectly cut 1-carat brilliant diamond with a 6.5mm diameter commands premium pricing due to its superior brilliance and visual appeal. However, slight variations in size can significantly impact cost - a 0.90-carat diamond is notably less expensive than a 1-carat stone, while a 6mm diamond might be overweight for its diameter, making it less desirable.

Market forces also play a crucial role in diamond pricing. Economic conditions affect luxury spending patterns, with economic downturns typically leading to reduced demand and lower prices. Conversely, growing interest from emerging markets like China, Brazil, and the Middle East has recently driven up prices, particularly for rare colored diamonds and exceptional white stones. BAUNAT focuses on finding the optimal balance between these factors to offer high-quality diamonds at fair market values.

Unveiling the Price of Perfect Cut Brilliance 

 

Not all diamonds are equal. A perfect cut brilliant diamond of 1.00 carat, boasting an average diameter of 6.5 mm, shines brightest, improving the overall visual appeal of any diamond jewellery piece such as diamond rings or brilliant earrings. Diamonds with lesser diameters, like 6 mm, aren't as radiant and are often deemed 'too fat', indicating that the ideal carat for such a diamond stands at a lighter, cheaper 0.80 carats. Thus, a 0.90 carat diamond would also be significantly more affordable than its 1.00 carat counterpart. At BAUNAT, we strive to find the perfect balance of proportions, guaranteeing top-notch quality and maximal brilliance. 

 

Diamond Prices Following the Economy’s Rhythm 

 

The dynamics of the international economic landscape also bear a significant influence on diamond prices. These are largely directed by the forces of supply and demand. For instance, during economic downturns, luxury spending is curtailed, and as a result, diamond prices may falter. However, the recent growth in demand for diamond jewellery from emerging markets like China, Brazil, and the Middle East, has instigated a surge in prices, especially for the finest coloured diamonds and rare white diamonds.
