Dec 12th
Contention mounts in the African Nation of Zimbabwe, over the Marange area , where the diamond mine’s conitnue to produce millions of rough diamonds. Since 2006 President Mugabe has been threatening to flood the diamond market with his potential ‘conflict’ rough diamonds. The last word out of Zimbabwe on September 21st 2010, President Mugabe’s was negotiating a 100 million dollar per month rough diamond contract to supply the Indian diamond market. News today, the Kimberly Process (KP) Chair Boaz Hirsch, directed the Indian government that no trade in diamonds from Zimbabwe’s Marange fields will be allowed under the Joint Work Plan (JWP) until an agreement can be reached.
An office memorandum sent to India’s Customs Department and the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) by the Commerce Department of India’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry, notes that Hirsch has requested participant countries to be vigilant and to notify him or the KP’s Working Group on Monitoring (WGM) if any “irregular” shipments of Marange diamonds are received.
The diamond industry continues to scrutinize Mugabe’s intentions for his countries natural resource, while wholesaler and retailers, globally, watch prices rise and supply wither in the diamond industry.

Nov 13th
I DO …
The 2011 trend in diamond retailing is focused on the frugal atmosphere the economy has generated. Of course size is a factor to most, but quality is still absolute. Education of a diamond purchase is clearly on the rise. Knowledge of the four c’s is the starting point, detail from the origin of the stone to the culet opening are determinate factors in the purchase. Not only are consumers learning about diamonds, metals are being discussed as well. White platinum, which is the more in style but expensive choice in metal for engagement rings, can now be replaced by alternative metals, which are a fraction of its cost. White gold can replace white platinum and are about 40 percent lower in terms of cost at this time. Palladium, which is a metal that is similar to platinum can also be used and is priced about 70% lower than platinum. How the diamond is set on the ring is also changing in 2011. More and more people are shying away from the pronged setting and are choosing more engagement rings that have

diamonds that are set in a semi-bezel way into the ring band. The semi-bezel setting will give added hold to the diamond to prevent its loss brought about by an active lifestyle. Another recession-friendly trend is the use of the full bezel setting to hold the diamond in place. Bezel settings have been in existence since the mid 1900s but the technique has greatly improved so that it holds the diamond more securely than the traditional pronged setting.
Bezel setting also allows for more wear and tear on the diamond, since it has metal around the full girdle.
