(IDEX Online News) – The polished diamond price index for June was flat, with barely any fluctuations. The Index began the month at 125.1 and ended at 125.3.

 

Reports from the largest trade show – Las Vegas – were that there was diamond demand, but business was on the slow side. With such stable prices, we reiterate that this could herald a change in how trade shows are organized, particularly in light of the recent difficulties at the Hong Kong show.
