(IDEX Online News) – Movement in the better quality of round goods was somewhat limited during July, with items of less than 1-carat showing the most fluctuation. Goods in the 1.00-1.24-carat showed both upward and downward variation in higher quality items. There was not too much significant change either up or down in 3-carat and 5-carat items, but I1 4-carat goods showed a decrease through the majority of colors.

 

Fancy goods trended slightly downward during the month. Items in the 1.00-1.24-carat category showed minimal fluctuation – either up or down. There were losses and gains in the SI2+/J+ goods sized 2.00-2.99 carats. Items sized 3-carats, 4-carats and 5-carats showed minimal movement during July.
