The Valuation and Investment Merits of Diamonds

Editorial Reviews
Review
“Earlier this year Quorum Books published a most thorough and extremely important book entitles The Valuation and Investment Merits of Diamonds written by Professor Sarkis J. Khoury Ph.D., Professor of Fianance at the Graduate School of Management at the University of California at Riverside.... Professor Khoury's book fills a void in the literature on diamond investments. In fact the author recently states to Diamond Insight that".....every diamond publication does not carry discussions, deep and serious, about investing in diamonds.....My book is an attempt to redress this." And redress this he does.... In conclusion, Khoury (writing in 1989) expresses concerns over the political unrest in South Africa and the possibility of the Soviets dumping gem-quality diamonds on the world market. Fortunately these concerns have been preempted by the creation of DeBeers Centenary and the Soviet accord of July 25.”–Diamond Insight

Book Description
This is the first book that deals with the economics of diamonds, specifically with the determinants of diamond prices. The period of 1978-1983 was chosen to shed light on the dramatic drop in diamond prices. Khoury clearly identifies these determinants, distinguishing them from one another by the level of impact they have on diamond prices. The book includes: a quick review of the characteristics of diamonds, the financial performance of DeBeers in a declining market, the economic structure of the diamond industry, the method for exercising economic control over the diamond market, the economic variables influencing diamond prices, and the modeling of diamond prices and the testing of the model using advanced statistical methods.
