After completing another strong auction season, it is apparent that the price increases at the top end of the market in the rarer color categories have maintained and even exceeded their estimated values.  Buying activity was spread out between dealers, investors collectors and retailers and received a diverse offering base from all over the world.
 
Two new diamond investment funds have been set up to capitalize on the growth of colored diamonds, which will continue to increase demand and expand the breadth of the market. 
 
We have received copies of the 4th edition of the Handbook of Personal Wealth Management and are awaiting the publication of the Global Market For Fine Art Investment.  Pastor Geneve will be publishing our report on the auction market in the 3rd quarter and for anyone who wishes to receive a copy of this latest Coloured Diamond Chronicle, please contact info@pastor-geneve.com
