Diamonds from the 80s have a special history: mostly investment diamonds, they were produced in a special context, at the height of the diamond certification boom and before the diamond bubble. Today, they are highly sought-after by diamantaires for their value and quality.
The Hoge Raad voor Diamant (HRD) was established in 1973 under the impetus of the Belgian government and major players in the diamond industry. Originally part of the private foundation Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC), in 2007 HRD became a fully-fledged company specializing in diamond certification, with an international reach.
In the 80s, it was the main certification laboratory recognized in France, along with the Paris Chamber of Commerce. The vast majority of diamonds from this period are therefore certified. HRD. Since then, other organizations have sprung up, such as IGI or the GIA.
Diamonds from the Belgian diamond dealer Ferstenberg.
The creation of certificates in the 70s and 80s, to attest to the value of diamonds, led to a proliferation of investment diamonds: in the 80s, many families bought diamonds as a savings product for future family wealth.
Then, as now, investing in diamonds was an attractive proposition. Diamonds are physical, tangible assets that can be mobilized at a moment's notice. It has international value. And unlike gold, it is stable, and taxes on diamonds are not too high.
Today, diamonds are increasingly rare, so their value is rising considerably. This is why the question of heritage and estate can be tricky for children who inherited diamonds from their parents' savings in the 80s.
The history of diamonds is best remembered for the diamond bubble of the 1980s. This financial bubble needs to be seen in context: the creation of certificates had enabled diamonds to become savings products, the professionalization of diamond sales had led to an explosion in the prices of diamonds, and the development of the diamond market had led to a sharp rise in the price of diamonds. diamond prices... The global economic context, too, was conducive to speculation, with rising inflation and the discovery of equities by individuals. Self-proclaimed diamond experts proliferated, backed by the detailed reports provided by certification bodies, buying diamonds and reselling them at higher prices for profit. 1-carat diamond prices, on which the "experts" based all their offers, even going so far as to sell them for more than 1.5 carats, rose very quickly, creating a bubble: diamond prices collapsed. In 1982, diamond prices returned to normal.
Today, the diamond market is healthier, with only a few recognized certification bodies. The price of diamonds is stable, with an increase of only 2 to 3 % per year over the past 100 years. Above all, the sale of diamonds is highly regulated, and only certified professionals are authorized to do so! So there's no longer any risk of a financial bubble.
Just as the recent crypto-currency bubble has boosted the price of Bitcoin (specialists estimate that its value will double by the end of the year), the value of vintage diamonds has risen considerably over the years.
Today, diamonds from the 70s and 80s are highly prized by diamond dealers. Indeed, investment diamonds have a high value even in times of crisis, as the diamond industry operates completely autonomously. What's more, at that time, quality diamonds were much less scarce than they are today, while diamond mines around the world are becoming rarer... Professional diamond dealers are therefore particularly interested in diamonds from that era, and will not hesitate to buy them back at a higher price than more recent diamonds. An interest that could answer the questions of estate heirs are asking themselves!
