Diamond Investment
Guidance in selecting rare diamonds with lasting investment value
A well-chosen diamond is more than an object of beauty—it can be a lasting investment. At By Lamm, we help clients select timeless stones with enduring value, focusing on rarity, quality, and craftsmanship.
Whether you're creating a piece now or thinking about a future legacy, we’ll guide you in choosing a diamond that feels right—emotionally and financially.
Why Consider Diamonds in Today’s Market?
Limited Supply & Natural Rarity
Unlike gold or stocks, high-quality diamonds are truly rare. As supply from major mines declines, demand for exceptional stones—especially those with unique provenance or characteristics—continues to rise.Long-Term Value & Stability
Historically, diamonds have demonstrated strong value retention and even appreciation, particularly in times of uncertainty. As part of a diversified portfolio, they offer tangible, stable value.Portable & Tangible
Diamonds are discreet, portable, and easy to store—an asset class that doesn’t rely on digital systems or institutions. They can be held, worn, and passed on.Hedge Against Inflation
Like other hard assets, diamonds can help preserve wealth when currencies weaken. Their value is intrinsic, not tied to markets or monetary policy.
Getting Started with Diamond Investing
The step by step guide how to get started with diamond investment.
Step 1: Understand the Market
Stay informed about diamond trends, certification standards, and technological advancements like blockchain tracking and 3D imaging.
Step 2: Clarify Your Goals
Are you collecting, preserving wealth, or diversifying? Define your budget, timeline, and level of personal involvement.
Step 3: Prioritise Rarity
Rarity drives long-term value. Consider less common cuts, colours, or origins—especially those with limited availability.
Step 4: Insist on Certification
Only invest in GIA- or HRD-certified diamonds, with full transparency on origin, treatment, and quality.
Step 5: Examine Before You Buy
View stones loose—never only in settings. If possible, inspect in person or with an expert to ensure clarity and proportion meet expectations.
Step 6: Work with Trusted Professionals
Lean on the expertise of diamond brokers, appraisers, and design experts. The right partner will guide you through both the technical and emotional side of the process.
Our Perspective
At By Lamm, we believe investment diamonds should be both financially sound and personally meaningful.
Our advice?
Buy as close to the mine as possible—but not at the mine, where prices can be inflated. And choose a stone that speaks to you—something you’d love to wear, not just hold. That way, your investment carries not only value, but sentiment.
We’ll guide you every step of the way—from sourcing and certification to design and care.
