Diamond Bank Unveils an Extraordinary 80-Carat D-Flawless Diamond at its 2025 Annual Tour
Founded in 2015, Diamond Bank operates on the core philosophy of “Mine to Market (M2M),” serving as a professional platform that spans from rough stone selection and master cutting to international certification and bespoke investment advisory. A highlight of the 2025 Annual Jewelry Tour is a rare 80-carat, D-color, Flawless, Type IIa emerald-cut diamond. A museum-grade treasure seldom seen in recent years, the piece offers its future owner the prestigious naming rights, signaling strong confidence in the appreciation of natural white diamonds within the high-end collectibles market.
The exhibition also marks a collaboration with parent brand FERRI JEWELRY to launch the designer series “Sunlight” and “Bloom Waltz.” Diamond Bank curated exceptional loose stones, which were then custom-fitted by FERRI’s design team to accentuate their natural brilliance. While “Sunlight” utilizes geometric and diagonal lines to evoke the play of natural light, “Bloom Waltz” employs fluid curves and architectural structures to mirror the elegance of a couture gown.
Alexander Chen, General Manager of FERRI JEWELRY, who successfully introduced Diamond Bank to Taiwan a decade ago, noted that the timing coincides with FERRI’s upcoming 60th anniversary. Fresh off a win at The WADA Awards in Dubai, Chen aims to leverage the strengths of both brands to showcase Taiwan’s profound expertise in jewelry to a global audience.
As a long-term observer of gemological trends, Chen notes a shift in the market. While traditional appreciation focused on the “Big Three” (Rubies, Sapphires, and Emeralds) with a heavy emphasis on origin, a new generation of collectors is increasingly valuing the unique characteristics of gemstones from diverse regions. This pursuit of individuality has fueled the rapid rise of emerging origins, exemplified by the massive popularity of the Paraiba Tourmaline for its distinctive neon hues.
Chen compares the investment landscape to diverse asset classes: “Colored gemstones are like real estate—they offer stable, sustained long-term returns. White diamonds, however, are more akin to Bitcoin or Gold—assets with high liquidity that can be traded more readily.”
Addressing the diamond market, Chen observes that prices, which reached a low point in recent years, are beginning to stabilize, making this an opportune time for entry. While the market for diamonds under 2 carats has largely been disrupted by Lab-Grown Diamonds (LGD), the high-end segment focused on preservation and value remains resilient. Chen believes large-carat natural diamonds have the potential to replicate the post-Lehman growth era, offering limited risk for those entering at the current market low.
