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

 

Movement was much more limited when it came to fancies. Prices of goods sized between 0.4-1 carat saw the most positive changes, with prices dropping in larger and smaller categories.

           

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