(IDEX Online News) – Once again, the trend of downward price movement continued for round goods this week. The most movement was seen in stones sized between 0.3-0.5 carats, with many shifts taking place in SI1-SI2 goods.

 

As usual, there were relatively fewer changes when it came to fancy goods, with prices going both up and down. Goods sized from 5 carats and above saw the most changes, especially in the lower clarities.

           

Following are some of the main changes in this week's IDEX Online Diamond Price Report.
