Why are Zimmi Diamonds one of the best investments?

For those willing to take a longterm view – diamonds are still looking positive as an investment opportunity. Since 1959, fancy coloured diamonds have not decreased in wholesale value and have only increased in value every year (on average between 10-15%). Even during the most turbulent financial times – including the crisis of 2008 – coloured diamonds have outperformed every other asset class. According to the Fancy Colour Research Foundations (FCRF) from 2010 – 2019 the market price for coloured diamonds increased by 77% with Pink diamonds taking the lead with an increase of 116%, Blue diamonds by 81% and Yellow Diamonds by 21%. Historically Fancy Intense Yellow diamonds over 5.00 carats increased by over 350% between 2000 and 2012 and that is only expected to continue, especially when the renowned Zimmi Diamond (intense yellow/orange diamonds from Sierra Leone) increase in value and rarity with only another 15 years of mining remaining.

What gives Diamonds their value?

Just like every other commodity, even a diamond’s value is determined by its demand and supply. But along with it, the four C’s of a diamond viz. carat, clarity, color and cut collectively determine the price of a diamond. They all contribute equally and influence the final retail value.

Why are Zimmi Diamonds so rare?

Zimmi Diamonds, so-called that because they are mined next to a small village by the name of Zimmi in Sierra Leone, have a unique saturation that fetches extremely high prices. While nitrogen is responsible for yellow colour in diamonds, it is how the nitrogen is bound in the diamond that causes the colour. The single nitrogen atoms in Zimmi Diamonds absorb light in the violet and blue portion of the spectrum, resulting in our perceiving the colour yellow. Coloured diamonds count for approximately 0.1% of all the world’s mined diamonds. Put into perspective, approximately 1 out of 16,500 diamonds that are mined is a Yellow Diamond. The rarest natural gemstones on earth, the blue diamond will be an average of 20 times as expensive. Zimmi diamond average more than two to three times more than a white D Flawless or VVS diamond.
