Why the Price of Diamonds Is Going Up Hard
The price of diamonds rose during wartime about 33 1/3 percent per head of a major Chicago diamond importer. Prices vary by size from 12.50 to 20 for one eighth carat and from 37.50 to 62.50 for one fourth carat, up to 300 to 500 for one carat. Large stones sell for 1000 to 2500 a carat. Causes include mine closures in South Africa, high insurance costs due to German submarines, and limited mining output. Prices may stay high for years as production costs outpace supply.
