Hi there,
Help, advice needed! I read in another thread recently that diamond prices tend to go up before the Christmas and Valentine''s Day holidays. DH and I had originally planned to buy my upgrade diamond in January 2006, but I worry that waiting until then might mean more $$$ (and less diamond!). Given that it''s early October, should we buy now before prices creep up? Or are we already too late? Also, what kinds of price increases are we talking about here -- are they typically around 2-3% like inflation, or something more significant than that? I know that no one can predict the future, but it''d be great if someone who has observed the price fluctuations over the years can offer some insight.
(FYI, we''re planning on something along the lines of 2.5-3.0 ct range RB ideal G SI1. )
Thanks so much.
Kristy
