Why Canadian Polar Bear Diamonds Are a Good Investment

Polar Bear Diamonds

When it comes to spending your money, you could do worse than making an investment in good quality jewellery.  In the long term, such hard assets rarely lose their value and besides that what’s more attractive a nice solid diamond or as pile worn out bank notes?  Not only that, with the banking sector in its current state, it might just be safer keeping at least a little of your wealth close to hand.

However, if you’re looking for a piece that may beat the market in the long term, lookout for Canadian polar bear diamonds, here are a few reasons why:

Limited Availability – While there are many brands of Canadian diamonds, the polar bear brand has only been available since the late 1990’s.  Unfortunately at the end of 2010 the two companies with the rights use the signature polar bear engraving on the girdle of each diamond ceased operations.  Due to legal wrangling, the rights to use the polar bear brand have remained in dispute and simply put polar bear diamonds are extinct for now.

Prices – Due to the stop in production prices of polar bear diamonds have grown relatively faster than other brands.  Some suppliers have reported a 10% rise in the premium over that seen on other Canadian diamond brands.

Ethics – As a product of the Northwest Territories of Canada, polar bear diamonds are produced in conditions which are deemed as ethically acceptable.  This is likely to make polar bear diamonds a better long term investment in comparison to “blood diamonds” obtained from other parts of the world.

Celebrity Status – Celebrity ownership of items has always helped to add long term value to an object, when it comes to diamonds, there can be none more fashionable than the polar bear.  Reputed owners of the brand include Meryl Streep, Jodie Foster and Sahara Jessica Parker.  Most recently, Prince William and Kate Middleton were given some of the last polar bear diamonds ever to be produced as a wedding gift giving the brand that regal touch.

So if you’re looking to park your money in jewellery with some serious growth potential, it may be worth looking into getting your hands on a few Canadian polar bear diamonds, that is if you can still find any at a reasonable price.
