The IDEX Online Polished Price Report - May 2017

(IDEX Online News) – Diamond price movements in May were in line with the previous two months, with relatively few changes in prices of round goods overall. There were declines of 3% in 0.50-0.69 carat goods in better colors and clarities, and increases in 1.00-1.24 carat G-H, VS2-items and 2.00-2.99 carat goods in E-G colors in IF-VVS2 clarities.

In the fancy diamond sector, there were again few price movements as has been the case over the past two months, particularly for items of half a carat and below. Diamonds of 2.00-2.99-carats in a range of sizes and clarities saw declines, while 5.00-5.99 carat diamonds in G-J color and SI2-I2 clarities posted rises.

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