IDEX Online Polished Price Changes – June 4, 2015

(IDEX Online News) – Once again, there were relatively few price changes in rounds this week. Most of the movement that occurred was negative. As in previous weeks, most of the moment was in the lower colors and this week it was also mostly in the lower clarities.

Prices of fancy cut diamonds had more motion. Unlike rounds, most of the changes were positive. Goods from 0.3 carats to 0.79 carats saw positive movement mostly in the better qualities, while items above 0.8 carats saw more activity in goods towards the mid- and low-range of the color and clarity spectrum.  

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