Diamond Standard

Diamond Standard is a New York-based company that packages investment-grade natural diamonds into standardized, fungible commodity products intended to make diamonds an investable asset class for both individuals and institutions. Its product line comprises Diamond Standard Coins and Bars — physical fungible commodities holding diamonds certified by GIA and IGI — Carats, digital commodity tokens issued from the physical commodities that lower the entry point for investors, and the Diamond Standard Fund, offered as private units.

Each product tier has a distinct entry price and custody arrangement. Carats start at a $25 minimum and can be held in self or digital custody; Coins (quoted at $2,560) and Bars (quoted at $25,600) can be kept at home or in a managed vault and may be eligible for leasing income and IRA inclusion; the Fund requires a $100,000 minimum with managed custody. Pricing references the DIAMINDX spot commodity index, which the company states is listed on Bloomberg and LSEG and updated daily. The company also provides an authentication tool allowing buyers to verify a Coin, and publishes an investor guide.

The company describes the diamond commodity market it addresses as worth $1.2 trillion and frames diamonds as an underallocated alternative asset with potential stability during periods of crisis.
