When is the best time to buy a diamond ring?

“I’ve been shopping for a diamond halo style engagement ring online for some time now, and think that my girlfriend is about to give up on me. I had originally intended to propose during this past holiday season, but then it dawned on me that diamond prices are probably highest just before Christmas, and I thought that diamond prices might decrease a bit after the new year, however that doesn’t seem to be the trend of 2015 diamond prices.

Thus far I’ve missed out on all the major opportunities to propose during the holiday season, I’ve failed to present her with an engagement ring. To make matters worse, it doesn’t seem like diamond prices have dropped since the Christmas holiday, which makes me wonder whether there is a best time to buy a diamond engagement ring?"

Tips for Predicting the Rise and Fall of Diamond Prices:

Brian Gavin is a fifth generation diamond cutter, and this is the type of thing I’ve heard him tell people in the past about diamond prices and trends:

Diamond Pricing Tip #1: It is practically impossible to predict whether diamond prices are going to increase or decrease, regardless of the season, and thus we recommend that if you see a diamond within your desired price range that happens to be exactly what you’re looking for, buy it now; because the odds are that diamond prices will increase, and a diamond of similar quality will only be more expensive in the future.

Diamond Pricing Tip #2: If you find yourself wondering whether it is better to wait for a better price in the future, refer to diamond pricing tip number one.

The only people who benefit from playing the holiday diamond prices game are traditional brick and mortar jewelry stores, who mark up prices for the holiday season, so that they can run sensational sales that provide little if anything in the way of actual savings for consumers.

Brian Gavin offers the most competitive advantage:

At Brian Gavin Diamonds we make every effort to provide our customers with the best diamond prices year-round because we compete globally for your business, not just on a local level like most brick and mortar jewelry stores.
