Skippy123 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 19,828 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 11/24/2006	I lost my diamond and I am now getting a check to purchase a new ring. I was just wondering if it would be smarter to make my purchase AFTER Valentine's? Someone once said the prices are higher during the holiday's; do you think that is true? If not I will move forward finding something. Thanks for all your help! I just love this website; it is very helpful for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Skippy "The only things that stand between a person and what they want in life are the will to try it, and the faith to believe it's possible" Rich Devos

January can be a very good time to buy jewelry from B&M's. However, internet vendors are a different animal. Diamond prices are linked to the Rapaport Index. Oddly enough, I was in the market around end Oct/beg Nov and noticed a modest diamond price DROP from James Allen - between 3-3.5%. The following week, they went up 0.5%. I wondered the same thing as you - if there are seasonal increases in prices. I couldn't find any conclusive evidence to that effect. One thing I did read was that diamond sales are highest in the 4th quarter. Therefore, you may be able to conclude that there is a better SELECTION pre-Christmas. Because prices rarely come down, now might be the best time to buy.
