DIAMONDS:

This sparkling stone is an entirely new concept and new asset class for Indians. You may refer it as a loose stone, but “People, when they invest in diamonds, don't leave them idle. Mostly they prefer wearing them on a ring or as ear studs”, says Aloke Sen, Chief Operating Officer of Takshh, as quoted by Business Today.

"Diamonds, of late, have become a status symbol for many, one to graduate to from gold. Buying diamonds was always a discomfort because of lack of knowledge and absence of standardized practices. But now, people are becoming brand conscious and they actually get themselves educated on how to buy diamonds”, adds Sen.
