What people are saying…

I needed guidance to learn about Investment gem stones. I searched the web site and decided on Stelios, as he has a separate heading for Investment. After about an hour of discussing the logistics of buying an investment stone – what is giving the best return, storage, insurance, resale and the likely best return that I could expect. I also learnt about the importance of colour, clarity and the pros and cons of each cut.. Stelios worked to get me the best stone at my stated price. Not once did he suggest that I spend more money. Do I trust Stelios? My actions speak louder than my words.

Tangible & Multi-Purpose Investment Asset

“Diamonds aren’t just a girl’s best friend…”

Natural Fancy Coloured Diamonds are tangible and uniquely multi-purpose assets unlike shares, bonds, and other financial investments.

“Since diamonds are tangible assets, they can be insured against loss or damage, especially when the diamond in question is set in jewellery, which is a great comfort to investors. Intangible assets like stock will never have this insurance option!”
Mark Kiesel, PIMCO

A diamond will continue to appreciate with no cost to the asset itself. A diamond will look the same in 1,000 years as it did on the day it was first polished, even if someone takes it out to wear every day. As such, buying loose diamonds for investment is truly worthwhile.

Concentration of Wealth

Investment diamonds and rare gemstones are the world’s most portable form of wealth, enabling you to carry millions of dollars in your pocket.

Natural Fancy Colour Diamonds represent an incredible concentration of wealth compared to any other asset in the world. Undoubtedly, it’s worth considering purchasing loose NFCDs to diversify your investment portfolio.

The amount of value that is packed into 1 gram of investment grade NFCD far outstrips that of any other asset. Depending on the year and date, such expensive assets as a bar of gold, a bar of platinum, or even a valuable work of art do not pack in as much value into one gram as an NFCD!

As an example, a 1 gram (5ct) fancy vivid pink diamond has been worth $10 million, while 1 gram of gold on the same day was worth only $35!

Diamond Investment Options in Australia

Buying loose diamonds for investment is ideal for a balanced and diversified portfolio.

All diamonds are beautiful, but unless their quality and origin are exceptional, they would not generally be considered good investments. This is why Stelios Jewellers offer only the very best loose diamonds to buy for investment in Australia.

NFCDs from mines with depleted or dwindling stocks are more highly sought after than those from mines with an abundant supply.

Stelios Jewellers currently specialise in loose red, blue and pink diamonds. Pink diamonds are regarded as rare commodities and buying them for investment is certainly worthwhile.

Pink, red and blue diamonds are rare, with less than 0.01% of all diamonds mined globally being classified as Natural Fancy Coloured Diamonds (NFCDs). This is an industry term used to describe coloured diamonds.

If NFCD’s had a rarity scale:
• An NFCD would have a rarity scale of 7/10.
• An investment grade NFCD would have a rarity scale of 9/10.

Investment grade NFCDs exhibit extremely high qualities in their Colour, Clarity, Carat and Cut, which makes them sought after by collectors and investors around the world.

One of the features of a good diamond investment in Australia is an active re-sale market to provide sellers with buyers, and both with a means to establish a fair value when the time comes to sell. Generally, the maturity of the market for NFCD’s here in Australia and around the globe is one of its most attractive selling points.

Buying loose investment diamonds and gemstones is considered to be a great option for investors who want to diversify their portfolio by acquiring stable, medium to long-term assets.

Gemstones are not subjected to the same price volatility compared to other investments, such as listed shares. To maximise their true growth potential, a medium to long-term view is necessary.

Investment diamonds from AUD$50,000.
Investment gemstones from AUD$20,000.

As the name suggests, single stone investments are a single NFCD or rare gemstone. Stones are chosen based on colour rarity, meaning good characteristics in terms of hue, clarity, grade and carat weight.

Diamond Certification and Quality: The 4Cs Explained

Our certified loose diamonds are evaluated based on the 4Cs:

  • Cut: The precision of the cut affects how a diamond reflects light. A well-cut diamond sparkles brilliantly from every angle.
  • Colour: The less colour in a white diamond, the higher its value. Traditional grading begins at D (colourless) and descends.
  • Clarity: Assesses internal inclusions and external blemishes. Fewer imperfections result in a higher clarity grade.
  • Carat: Measures the diamond’s weight. While size adds value, it must be considered with clarity, cut, and colour.

The better a diamond scores across the 4Cs, the more desirable and valuable it is. Colourless stones with excellent cuts and few blemishes are the most sought-after by collectors and investors.

Types of Diamonds: Natural, Lab Grown, and Coloured

Natural Diamonds

Natural diamonds are mined from the earth and take millions of years to form. They hold lasting value and remain in demand for both jewellery and investment purposes.

Lab Grown Diamonds

Created from pure carbon in a laboratory, lab-grown diamonds are optically identical to natural ones. However, they are not used for investment due to limited resale value and market volatility.

Coloured Diamonds

We offer a range of naturally formed fancy coloured diamonds in rare shades like pink, blue, yellow, and green. These are highly desirable for their beauty, rarity, and investment potential.

Popular Shapes

From round diamonds to cushion cut, princess, oval, marquise, and more, we help you select the best shape for your purpose. Our team explains the length to width ratio, brilliance, and design considerations to ensure your selection suits both your taste and goals.

Investment Grade Diamonds and SMSF

Loose diamonds are a powerful tool for asset diversification. High-grade stones offer:

  • Exceptional concentration of wealth
  • Longevity with no deterioration over time
  • No correlation to stock market volatility
  • Portability and international liquidity

We work with SMSF trustees and high-net-worth investors seeking physical assets with enduring appeal and consistent appreciation. All investment-grade diamonds are certified, and insured.

  • Conflict-Free Diamonds: None of our stones have been used to finance civil wars or armed conflict.
