Why diamonds

Concentrated value

A stone the size of a pea can store the value of a car - mobility no other asset provides.

Natural rarity

The supply of investment-grade stones is geologically limited.

A global market

A certified diamond can be valued and sold on every continent - the report is the international language of valuation.

Verifiability

A GIA, HRD or IGI report number can be checked online in the laboratory's database.

Diamonds FAQ

How much does a diamond investment start at?

Investment-grade stones usually start at over a dozen thousand złoty. An advisor will match a stone to your budget.

Which currencies can I pay with?

We accept payment in: PLN, EUR, USD. Euro and US dollars only for goods available immediately. The conversion rate is confirmed before the transaction.

How do I check a certificate's authenticity?

Every GIA, HRD and IGI report has a number you can verify free of charge in the laboratory's online database - the links are on this page.

Are lab-grown diamonds an investment too?

Mennica Skarbowa's offer also includes lab-grown (synthetic) diamonds. As a store of value they behave differently from natural stones, because their supply is not geologically limited. That is why the stones presented here as investment grade are natural only, with GIA, HRD or IGI reports.

How do I sell a diamond in the future?

A certified stone with complete documents can be sold through a dealer, an auction house or with our help - the 4C report is the basis of valuation worldwide.

Let's talk diamonds

An advisor will match a stone to your budget and goal - discreetly and with no obligations.

A call with an advisor is commercial support in choosing a product from our range (form, weight, 4C parameters). It does not constitute investment advice, an investment recommendation or a suitability assessment within the meaning of financial-instrument regulations - you make the decision yourself.
