RAPAPORT... PRESS RELEASE, January 18, 2016, New York ... The
Rapaport Group released its annual Diamond Price Statistics Report for 2015
today, evaluating the performance of polished diamond prices. The report
provides an in-depth analysis of the trends in polished diamond prices during
the past year and it compares the price changes of specific diamond categories.
The report demonstrates that diamond prices fell in 2015. Profitability
came under pressure due to sluggish consumer demand and high rough prices
relative to the resulting polished. Inventory levels were high due to excessive
rough buying in previous years while polished demand slowed and too many
diamonds became available for too few buyers.
The Rapaport Diamond Price Statistics Report charts the
progression of polished diamond prices and indexes in various sizes throughout
the year and across a period of up to 37 years. In doing so, the report provides
a complete study of the history and current standing of the global diamond
market.
Also included in the report is a diamond investment analysis detailing how
various diamond categories have performed over the past 10 and 20 years in
relation to other common investment instruments.
The all-inclusive report is available for purchase online at http://store.rapaport.com/
for $250 and has also been released in the January 2016 issue of Rapaport
Magazine for all respective subscribers.
