钻石作为自然界最坚硬的宝石之一，稀有且珍贵，不仅常被用来制作精美的珠宝首饰，并且钻石在一定程度上成为引领了消费、投资、收藏的新航标，那么钻石投资为什么会如此火热，投资钻石的好处都有哪些？

 As one of the hardest gemstones in nature, diamonds are rare and precious. They are not only often used to make exquisite jewelry, but also become a new beacon leading consumption, investment and collection to a certain extent. Why is diamond investment so hot and what are the benefits of investing in diamonds?

　　一、钻石抗通胀

　　伴随全球钻石产量下降，钻石价格一路走高，销量也出现大幅上涨，悄然成了投资理财的新热门品种。从1934以来，钻石的价格增值就已经大幅超过了通货膨胀率，投资钻石可以保护投资人的资本不被通货膨胀侵蚀。

With the decline of global diamond production, diamond prices have risen all the way, and the sales volume has also increased sharply, which has quietly become a new hot variety of investment and financial management. Since 1934, the price appreciation of diamonds has greatly exceeded the inflation rate. Investing in diamonds can protect investors' capital from inflation.

　　二、钻石私密，易于携带

　　钻石是保障最私密性的个人财富投资。有别于其它形式的投资，投资人必须要寻找投资财富保管商，如投资银行，保管银行等。而钻石投资者拥有的是直接由自己保管的有形资产。并且钻石不属于大件，存放起来也比较私密、安全。

 Diamonds are the most private investment of personal wealth. Different from other forms of investment, investors must look for investment wealth custodians, such as investment banks, custodial banks, etc. Diamond investors own tangible assets that are directly in their custody. Moreover, diamonds are not large items, and they are relatively private and safe to store.

　　三、钻石世界流通

　　钻石有别于一般的期货商品投资，每天不会有剧烈的价格波动。也没有任何的政府会堆积钻石库存，因此，各国的政府并不会控制或影响钻石的自由交易市场。此外，由于钻石的国际需求大于供应，钻石很容易在世界任何地方售卖。

Unlike ordinary futures commodity investment, diamonds do not have violent price fluctuations every day. No government will accumulate diamond stocks, so governments will not control or affect the free trading market of diamonds. In addition, because the international demand for diamonds exceeds the supply, diamonds can easily be sold anywhere in the world.

　　四、钻石价格走向升高

　　钻石是世界上最古老的宝石，且资源不可再生，这使钻石更添了份珍贵，吸引越来越多的人关注钻石。回顾钻石市场，近100多年来，钻石一直稳定地以平均每年10%的比例在增值，几乎没有下跌过。同时，钻石随着大小及品质的不同，增值比例相差很大，大份数、高品质的钻石升值潜力显著。

Diamond is the oldest gem in the world, and its resources are non renewable, which makes diamond more precious and attracts more and more people's attention. Looking back on the diamond market, over the past 100 years, diamonds have been steadily increasing in value at an average annual rate of 10%, with almost no decline. At the same time, the value-added proportion of diamonds varies greatly with the size and quality, and the appreciation potential of large quantity and high-quality diamonds is significant.

　　五、钻石产量稀有

　　行业报告显示，2016年全球钻饰需求创新高，过去的一年，在激荡的市场经济环境中，钻石需求持续增长，但来自上游的压力不可小觑，未来几年的新产量将不能追上现有矿场产量的预计跌幅，预期钻石供应量将在未来五年进入停滞期，并在2020年开始下降。

According to the industry report, the global diamond demand reached a new high in 2016. In the past year, in the turbulent market economic environment, the diamond demand continued to grow, but the pressure from the upstream should not be underestimated. The new output in the next few years will not catch up with the expected decline of the output of existing mines. It is expected that the diamond supply will enter a stagnation period in the next five years and begin to decline in 2020.
