Your compass in the world of diamonds

DIANT s.r.o. is an independent advisor in the area of diamond appraisals and valuation.

The valuation itself is divided into two main stages.

The first stage comprises of diamond identification (confirmation that it is a real diamond, not any type of imitation), confirmation that the diamond had not been treated and the subsequent diamond grading. This includes a physical examination of the diamond. This is executed by a certified diamond grader.

The second stage comprises of attributing a market value to the already graded diamond. This research is done via publicly available real market data of traded diamonds within a specific grade as well as via nonpublic information about comparable diamond transactions executed on the market. In the process of attributing the market value to a specific diamond, we take into account its specific characteristics and its "relative position" within specific grades. After the grading of the diamond, it is possible, besides determinig its market value, to assess a historical price volatility (the risk of changes in the price) of the diamonds with comparable characteristics. This information further helps the client to make an informed investment decision.

A thorough diamond valuation is possible only for a loose diamond (taken out of the jewellery). If the diamond is set inside a jewellery piece, it is possible to remove it from the jewellery for the purpose of valuation, grade it and set it back into the jewellery.

We are not providing diamond market price information for diamonds that we didn't grade as described in the first phase of diamond valuation.

It is possible to provide the advisory services based on the request from the buyer, the seller or at a mutual request from all transaction participants.

The diamond valuation can be executed prior to the respective transaction or, in some cases when the legal or contractual conditions allow for a return of purchased diamonds, it is practical to make the diamond valuation after the transaction. Subsequently, the buyer may reconsider the deal and, eventually, decide to return the purchased diamonds to the seller.
