    How are diamond prices moving currently?

    Are they also soaring just like gold? Is there are chart regarding diamond price trends during the current Corona pandemic?

    I know a few things about diamonds. Grading, shape etc. But pricing has always perplexed me.

    Currently, I heard some people are buying diamonds. And I was wondering whether they're a good (or bad) buy. Prices can go up as well, regardless whether they are grown in a lab or not.

    I think the only diamonds worth investing are pink diamonds but they start at 20k+

    I would only invest in vivd red diamonds, the rest are not worth the risk. Vivid reds are the rarest and most desirable.

    I can already see Coober Pedy with a Midnight Oil backing track. Well, INXS "Listen Like Thieves" would suit it as well.
