Why you should buy a real diamond over investing in a diamond mining company? |
|
A – Great care is needed here because of the 170 listed diamond mining companies, only 20 to 25 are actually producing diamonds. Also these companies are linked to market sentiment and so can be volatile as seen with recent disasters such as the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and the Chilean and New Zealand mining disasters; share prices can diminish while the commodity price either increases or remains stable. |
|
Why you should buy a real diamond and not an artificial diamond? |
|
A – The reason is very simple. Artificial diamonds can be replicated within a laboratory and their value does not increase over time when compared with natural diamonds. A print of a masterpiece by a famous artist isn’t as valuable as the original. |
|
How do I know my diamonds from Midas Commodities are not from a conflict region? |
|
A - All the stones we handle have been through the Kimberley process, and as such they have been certificated by one of the leading gemmological institutes; the G.I.A (Gemological Institute of America) or the IGI (International Gemological Institute). |
|
What is the largest diamond ever found? |
|
A - The largest diamond ever found is the Cullinan diamond (3,106 carats). |
|
Can I use the diamond as jewellery? |
|
A - Of course you can, it’s your diamond and you take full ownership/control of it. It does not diminish the value and in some cases can add to it. If you wish to have it set, this is something we can help with. |
|
Why you should use Midas Commodities and not a Jeweller? |
|
A - The difference between us and a jeweller is that we only deal with the top 1-2% of the diamond market and we offer full brokerage services, aiding from the buying of the stones to the sell through and valuations. We are the first point of contact for our clients about movements within the diamond industry. Even though the diamonds can be used for jewellery purpose, they are predominantly for investment use. |
