Diamonds News was founded in 2019 by a former senior analyst for a leading New York-based luxury brokerage firm. After spending a decade pricing inventory and negotiating deals for high-net-worth collectors, I witnessed a glaring gap in the market: while clients spent millions, they were operating with outdated valuation models. The pivotal moment that changed everything occurred during a private auction where a rare 5-carat cushion cut was sold below market rate simply because the buyer had access to a private real-time pricing terminal—a tool I was forced to withhold to protect my firm’s margins. That breach of trust convinced me to build a resource that empowers the individual investor with the same data infrastructure usually reserved for the boardroom.
Our mission is to democratize access to the diamond industry’s most critical asset, specifically focusing on real-time carat pricing trends that major retailers actively suppress to protect their markups. We believe that true wealth preservation requires transparency, which is why we aggregate live market data from undisclosed auctions, private sales, and trade networks to track supply and demand fluctuations that the general public never sees. We are dedicated to equipping affluent buyers and serious collectors in the United States with the authoritative, insider intelligence needed to navigate a market often clouded by aggressive retail tactics and opaque valuation reports.
Our vision extends beyond simple reporting; we aim to create a community of informed stakeholders who understand the physics and economics of their investments. By prioritizing data-driven analysis over marketing fluff, Diamonds News serves as the definitive industry voice for those who view gemstones not merely as jewelry, but as a tangible store of value. We provide the granular metrics necessary to identify undervalued assets and avoid overpaying, ensuring that every valuation reflects current market reality rather than historical averages.
