Diamond Prices Going Up - Again!

DeBeers announced this week that there would be a 3 per cent across the board price increase of the diamond rough being offered to their siteholders at this months (January) site. Prices have thus been increased by approximately 30% since January 2004. This latest price increase of diamond rough will translate into an increase in the cost to consumers for diamonds ranging from .60 carats and up. Higher colors and clarity grades may increase to a greater extent due to a shortage of high-quality diamond rough.

DeBeers explained that the price increase was necessary in order to achieve a "re-balancing" due to the weak dollar.

Ok, now I don't feel guilty anymore. I will take this lesson in economics and use it in my personal life. No more angst at gaining weight, battling to stay with the diet and worrying about losing the battle of the bulge...no siree. I'm hoisting my double chocolate Twinkie and proclaiming:

I'm "re-balancing" and proud of it!
