The quality features mentioned above are decisive criteria for determining the identity, price and value development of a diamond. An independent certificate ("Certificate") is an absolute must for every diamond. It's sort of like a diamond's passport. Diamonds suitable for asset protection must have a reputable and internationally accepted certificate documenting the price-determining characteristics of the stone and its identity.

Diamonds and gold are increasingly coming into focus as crisis-proof real assets and have long been established for asset protection and diversification in investment portfolios. Diamonds and gold have a low correlation to other asset classes and their performance is independent of stock markets, banks and national budgets.

Mandate orders for the purchase and resale of gold and diamonds on the basis of a prior compliance and due diligence check and expert opinion.

First-class diamonds are therefore a very valuable and long-lasting investment!

From the consideration of a diamond investment, the so-called - "4 C" quality characteristics are an essential component for their pricing, according to which a stone is classified, appraised, assessed and thus evaluated.

The "4 C" quality features are as follows:

# 2 - „Colour“

(Color information)

In the purchasing process, the BLACK MOUNTAIN GLOBAL GROUP checks whether the certificate number provided by the supplier was actually issued by the laboratory and compares the data on the certificate with the data from the certificate issuer. The detailed and multi-stage purchase and testing procedure serves to achieve the greatest possible degree of security for our customers.

The BLACK MOUNTAIN GLOBAL GROUP is the link between buyers and sellers and works directly with the seller platforms, who in turn are the owners/partners of the diamond mines or their diamonds. This avoids unnecessary trading margins for the investor, which have a positive effect on the purchase and sale and consequently on the associated increase in value.

Diamonds are more suitable for a medium to long-term investment period. A competent investor knows that after a classic diamond purchase, no ongoing returns are generated during its ownership. However, the BLACK MOUNTAIN GLOBAL GROUP has exclusive capitalization concepts that enable an investor to generate corresponding profits / returns even during the holding period / ownership of his diamonds.

With the introduction of the gold standard, international monetary systems were created that traded in paper money backed by gold.

The spectrum of precious metals (diamonds & gold) contained within our complex areas of activity mainly relates to exclusive investment strategies, which specifically focus on the following positions in the gold spectrum:

The investments in gold we offer contain the following positions:

Gold bars or gold flakes of at least 995/1000 fineness and of a weight generally accepted in the international gold markets.

Gold coins with a fineness of at least 900/1000. The coins must have been minted after the year 1800. They must either serve as current legal tender in their country of origin or they must have been used as a means of payment in the past.

Gold certificates (e.g. SKR's or custody certificates etc.), whereby it does not matter whether the gold is held collectively or individually.

(Purity information)

The certificates of the renowned "Gemological Institute of America (GIA)" have the highest acceptance and reputation worldwide. The quality of the certificate is just as important for the Purchase price as it is for later resale. Price comparisons only make sense for diamonds with the same certificates and the same quality findings.

We at the BLACK MOUNTAIN GLOBAL GROUP rely on the highest quality when it comes to diamonds. In order to ensure this quality for our clients today and in the future, we have developed a security system for checking, assessing and selecting investment diamonds.

Diamonds are said to have many things, including magical powers. But they are one thing in any case - the oldest material asset in the world. No stone is younger than - 900 million years, since then no more diamonds were formed. Great pressure and heat were required to transform carbon into diamonds deep within the earth. Then, over millions of years, erosion brought them closer to the surface. So every diamond is a glittering testimony to the history of our planet.

Diamonds are the hardest mineral on earth. A diamond can only be cut with another diamond. The cut in turn creates the fascination - the stone breaks the incident light. One of the reasons for this legendary sparkle, the diamond fire, is the high density inside. It reduces the speed of light by half.

So it's no wonder that diamonds were considered extremely valuable for centuries before our era.

A special characteristic is the mobility of the diamond in comparison to other "fixed" material assets - value concentration in the smallest form. The diamond is in the hands of the buyer and is not left to the management or safekeeping of third parties.

It is their rarity that makes diamonds one of the most sought-after status symbols of all. For thousands of years they have been the epitome of wealth and wealth. Clever investors have learned this lesson long ago and see high-quality diamonds as a sensible addition to their real asset portfolio.

A purity of 995/1000 means that in 1000 parts of the total weight at least 995 parts must be pure gold. The remaining five parts are admixtures, such as copper or other metals. Accordingly, gold with a purity of 900/1000 must contain at least 900 parts pure gold in 1000 parts by weight.

The past economic crises show how important gold was and still is as protection against inflation.

Investors who had put their money in bank accounts during the economic crises had to watch helplessly as their assets continued to shrink. In these difficult times, the value of gold was particularly evident.

In our previous statements, we presented essential information and special features of the diamond spectrum. Many of the positions named therein also apply to the gold spectrum.

For investors who value security and protection against inflation, there is no way around adding physical gold.

The oldest documented find of gold jewelry (4,600 BC) impressively proves that gold has exercised an unbroken fascination on us humans since the beginning of the earliest civilisations. Gold, with its incomparable brilliance, impressive weight and warm appearance, has lost none of its fascination in the present - quite the opposite.

For over 3,000 years, gold has been used worldwide as a store of value. As the only currency that has existed since then, gold has been able to withstand all crises, is not affected by inflationary monetary policy and cannot be reproduced at will. The precious metal gold has always held a special fascination for people. It was one of the first metals to be worked by humans, and it has been of particular value since prehistory.

Investors have been using gold as a financial investment and for value retention for thousands of years. For this purpose, investors acquire gold bars and gold coins. Gold coins have not only served as a gold investment for centuries, but they have also been used as a means of payment. At the same time, it is a rare metal that cannot be produced or multiplied at will. Investments in gold are therefore considered to be a stable and crisis-proof investment worldwide.

The gold standard was introduced by the Bank of England in 1844. By the gold standard, finance professionals understand that a unit of currency is equal to a legally stipulated amount of gold. The corresponding amount of gold is given as a weight, either in grams or in ounces.

PRECIOUS METAL SPECTRUM

Alternative forms of investment such as real estate have been an integral part of institutional portfolios for many decades. Due to the changing economic conditions, however, there is still a need to find new investment opportunities. Commodities such as precious metals are an alternative form of investment that has steadily become more attractive over the past few years.

In today's asset protection, it is essential in the formation of a balanced asset portfolio to also integrate suitable real assets in a portfolio in addition to financial products. In addition to real estate and physical investments in precious metals, the preferred tangible assets also include diamonds and gold.

Created over millions of years and valued for millennia, diamonds are considered to be real assets of lasting value. Statistically, the price of diamonds has risen steadily over the past few decades and has always retained its value for centuries and is a sought-after status symbol due to its rarity.

Diamonds are imperishable. Rare in high quality, sparkling and emotionally captivating brilliance, precious stones have always been considered a valuable and long-lasting investment.

In order to preserve and create medium to long-term values, investment diamonds should be an indispensable material asset for your personal wealth portfolio today.

What is very valuable, very rare, easy to transport, easy to store, indestructible, has a high density of value, is in great demand among people and industry and retains its value over time? It's not just gold, the same goes for diamonds. With these properties, they are also recommended as a crisis-proof material asset that offers protection against asset loss.

Securing assets is the primary purpose of real assets. Monetary values can be devalued by inflation, issuers of bonds or other financial products can become insolvent, companies can go broke. A tangible asset is expected to preserve wealth over generations and that there is no “worst case” total loss.

With gold & diamonds, a total loss is impossible, for thousands of years these tangible assets have always secured a secure asset. Inflation, economic crises or other events cannot affect the value of these assets, they survive any crises.
