yes...the diamond market crashed in the early 80''s along with gold and silver.Date: 5/17/2006 11:48:29 AM

My perception has always been that diamond prices are slowly, steadily, and constantly going up (have they ever really gone down?). And quite dramatically so for settings lately due to plat/gold prices. These are dark times for PSers!
DeeJay -- when I was looking for stones, I checked in with vendors about every other day. I don''t think you should feel bad at all about calling them more often and letting them know of your urgency to find something soon. Good luck!
5-6 sightholders rejected their allocations during the last sight, usually DeBeers would punish these kind of decissions by charging a $$$penalty.Date: 5/17/2006 2:38:00 PM

I think Paul is right here......but I do think there is some possible increases on certain sizes.
At the last DeBeers sight, it was reported that a significant amount of the siteholders rejected their boxes, based on them believing they could not turn a profit on it.
The next sight, which I think is just about to occur, or just did, should show how DeBeers will respond to the last sight''s results.
Will sightholders that might be low on material to cut, still reject boxes if DeBeers holds steadfast in supply and pricing ?
Guess we''ll hear soon.
