When purchasing my first diamond engagment ring, I knew nothing about diamonds. Quite a few diamonds later, I have found that I still know very little. My last couple of purchases were HOF which appears to be nice, but I am obviously still learning from apparent mistakes. I am really enjoying your forum and all the enthusiasm and knowledge that is shared here. It is apparent that wisdom is what I have lacked in my past choices and I hope someone here will spare a little time to answer a few questions that are very important to me.
First of all I am looking for hard assets to hedge against possible hyper-inflation. It doesn''t take a course in Econ 101 to know we are in trouble here. So, are diamonds, OR "certain" diamonds a good investment? Diamonds are beautiful and my wife loves them. With this in mind, I am thinking that something that is the size of a large sweet pea, could house the wealth of a gold bar, (that stored in a vault cannot really be enjoyed).
My feelings are hurt as I have found that Mall outlets are not an option for smart buyers. When told that diamonds are poor investments, I am quite certain that those advisors were Mall shoppers too.
Any advise will be appreciated.
