If you are looking to get started investing your money in diamonds, you've come to the right place.   Here are 6 steps to get you started with your diamond investments:
 
1) Learn about diamonds. You must know a lot about gemstones in order to be a successful diamond investor. Start by learning the four c's: cut, color, clarity and carat. Each of these factors influences the value of a diamond.
 
2) Plan your diamond investments. Start by budgeting how much money you can invest. Then decide what quality diamonds you can afford.
 
3) Determine if you want to buy loose diamonds or diamond jewelry. Loose diamonds are more liquid because if you need to sell one, you won't need to find someone who likes the setting. Diamond jewelry, however, is an investment that you can wear without diminishing its value.
 
4) Contact jewelers and diamond dealers. Get information about the diamonds that are available. If you have a special request, a diamond dealer can find the quality stone that you want.
 
5) Purchase the diamonds of your choice. Hold them for years until they appreciate in value.
 
6) Buy shares in diamond mining companies for another approach to investing in diamonds. Some diamond miners are listed on the London Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment Market (AIM).
