(IDEX Online) - There was a slight overall increase, with more activity among rounds, some larger goods in particular, than fancies. Prices for rounds were up overall during July, but it was finely balanced. One-carats (1.00-1.24-cts) saw only a small handful of price changes, with more increases than decreases. 1.50-1.99-cts and 3.00-3.99-cts were busier, with plenty of price rises and no falls. Four-carats (4.00-4.99-cts) saw a couple of increases, five-carats (5.00-5.99-cts) saw a few price drops.
