Gioielli di Valenza gives you the chance to invest in diamonds.
Diamonds are perfect gifts, usually bought to donate something different. Our diamonds are wrapped into a tamper-evident packaging and paired with a certificate by the International Gemological Institute (IGI), which explains all the features of the diamond and certify its truthfulness.
The high value of investment diamonds comes from the difficulty of finding them on a large scale. As a general rule the harder it is to find them, the higher is their value.
Given the uncertainty of stock investments and the overall difficulty of getting strong returns, investing in diamonds seems to be more profitable than traditional savings or conventional financial investment formulas.
How to invest in diamonds?
In order to invest in diamonds properly, you need to take the 4C rule into account: carat, color, cut and clarity.
These are the most important elements to consider to evaluate the quality of a diamond and understand if it could lead to greater investment pay-offs.
Carat
In order to invest in diamonds properly, you need to take the 4C rule into account: carat, color, cut and clarity.
These are the most important elements to consider to evaluate the quality of a diamond and understand if it could lead to greater investment pay-offs.
Color
The color refers to the transparency of the gemstone. The clearer it is, the higher the gemstone’s clarity and its value. The color can be graded through a clarity scale which goes from D (extra white/colorless) to M/Z (color saturated).
The color saturated gemstones can still be valuable: indeed, their particular color is also a sign of uniqueness and rarity.
Cut
The cut of a diamond is a crucial element to estimate its quality, even if in this case it is strictly connected to the gem cutter’s work and not to a natural feature of the gemstone. The cut is also evaluated on a scale based on the diamond’s attributes of polish and symmetry that goes from excellent to poor.

Investing in diamonds: taxation
The diamonds are subjected to VAT taxation, which is 22% for Italy and may vary based on the country you purchase your diamond in.
This initial VAT cost cannot be regained at the resale and that is the reason why it is advisable to wait some time before reselling the diamond, so that to recoup your initial investment.
Moreover, it is important to know that the diamonds are almost free from taxations and that they are not included in hereditary assets.
Is it worth it to invest in diamonds?
Let’s start by saying that diamonds are worldwide appreciated gemstones, rare and precious materials, which could have a huge value and therefore be considered as safe investments by investors, equal to raw precious materials and considered as a safe haven asset. This means that the value of diamonds is not influenced by external factors, such as inflation.
Diamonds are also lasting materials that don’t deteriorate, preserve their shape over time and are included in the alternative investments.
Investing in certified diamonds
Only the diamonds with a certificate of authenticity issued by an international gemological Institute have a financial value.
The certificate guarantees that a diamond with a specific carat weight, which could vary from half carat to 2 carats, has been evaluated according to the 4C scale (carat, clarity, color, cut).
