Rough Diamond Valuations and Pricing
Given the difficulty of valuing an esoteric asset such as diamonds and the potential for conflicts of interest, governments, financial institutions, insurance houses and mining companies can rely on WWW and its market leading assortment categories of rough diamonds for truly independent third-party valuation services.
Rough Diamond Pricing Software
Our organisation has maintained a price book since 1998 which covers the full, diverse range of qualities from various diamond productions around the world – ensuring that WWW continues to include the widest range of inputs and transactions in its price book.
Comparable, recent transactions are relevant in any pricing exercise. That is why our rough diamond pricing mechanics are underpinned by an understanding of the actual assortment: so that pricing continues to be a combination of the price matrix which reflects market conditions and the actual diamond assortment for each production.
