As stated, I believe GEM is well positioned to take advantage of the changing market conditions in the natural diamond
sector, based on 2026 outlook below.
With Global output projected to remain low during 2026, quality stones married with ethical mining is going to see premium prices.
Natural Diamond Outlook for 2026
*The outlook for natural diamonds in 2026 is promising, with several key trends shaping the market:
Price Pressure: Natural diamonds are expected to see continued upward price pressure, particularly for high-quality, investment-grade stones. This is driven by constrained supply and the ethical imperative for provenance and sustainability.
*Market Segmentation:
The diamond market is projected to split into two distinct segments: the Luxury Rarity of natural diamonds and the Accessible Aspiration of high-quality lab-grown diamonds (LGDs).
*Ethical Premium:
The natural diamond sector is leveraging blockchain technology to provide satellite-verified proof of origin, reinforcing the value proposition of a rare, ancient, and responsibly-sourced product.
*Investment Niche:
Large, flawless stones (especially 4.00–5.99 carats, D-G color, VVS clarity or better) will remain highly sought after by institutional investors and collectors.
These trends indicate a shift towards a more sustainable and ethical approach in the diamond industry, with natural diamonds maintaining their value and appeal in the market.
