Diamonds as inflation hedge draw investor interest
James M. Howard of American Diamond Co. argues investment grade diamonds offer a strong hedge amid uncertainty. He notes a two carat D flawless diamond bought 25 years ago for 4000 could be worth 200000 now, and rubies are rarer and likely to rise. He cites a 10 carat ruby for 550000 and says many clients start at 10000.
