The IDEX Online Polished Price Report - October 2016

(IDEX Online News) – Sporadic price movements were recorded in almost every category of round goods up to 3.00 carats in October, while 4.0 and 5.0 carat goods saw hardly any fluctuations. While movement was mixed in most size categories, a downward trend of 2-3% is notable in the 0.9-1.00 carat range.

Meanwhile, fancy goods prices saw less movement but the same sort of mixed trends as round stones. There are two notable clear trends: the 0.30-0.40 category which showed a downward trend of 2-3 percent; and 2.00-3.00-carat stones which were up 1-3 percent.

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