Diamonds Uncovered: The Truth About The Resale Value of Diamonds

There are many myths about diamonds, specifically with engagement rings which we are sure you would have heard about… “you must spend 1/2/3 months’ salary on an engagement ring” and “you have to have a diamond in your engagement ring” which are great examples.

A question that our customers often ask us is: “are diamonds a good investment?” and, like the others, it’s rooted in a myth.
