Since the valuation is bullshit (just try reselling a diamond), I'm guessing that it's the price paid.


This is very true. The only thing the valuation is good for is an insurance claim. I've heard a lot of people try to tell me that this is an investment for the future but it's actually far from that. There is no investment for a diamond. Period. You won't get what you pay for it unless you're an authorized dealer.
