سوق الألماس، Week 2, 2026

The round brilliant's median new-listing price dropped to $900 this week, down 41% from $1,525 in week 1. That's a striking move on the market's highest-volume shape, one that accounted for 37.6% of all new listings (283,162 stones). A drop that sharp, that fast, on that much volume isn't noise. It reflects a flood of lower-priced lab-grown rounds entering the market as the post-holiday listing cycle kicks in, and it pulls the overall median price down even as per-carat figures edge slightly higher.

Total new listings fell 31% week on week, from 1,088,559 to 752,238, and off-market activity followed a similar path down, dropping 27% to 325,375. That's a calmer week by any measure. But active inventory still grew to 9.61 million stones, up 4.65% on last week, and total inventory value pushed past $30.4 billion, a gain of nearly $1.4 billion. Fewer listings came in, fewer went off, yet the pool expanded. A handful of names did most of the listing, with the top five retailers accounting for 78.6% of new additions.

Lab-grown's share of active inventory nudged above 60% for the first time in this data set, sitting at 60.1% versus 59.5% last week. More telling is what happened to lab-grown median prices among new listings: down 33% to $1,077.72. Natural diamonds held more steadily, their new-listing median slipping just under 4% to $1,257.30, while their per-carat figure actually rose 4.5% to $2,526.32. The gap between natural and lab-grown per carat now sits at roughly 2.2 to 1. That ratio is worth watching as lab supply keeps climbing.

The Asscher had a genuinely significant week. Its median new-listing price jumped 41.5% to $2,660, on nearly 20,000 new listings, which is a real volume of product. Heart shapes also moved up sharply, gaining 22.9% to reach $1,854.31. These aren't categories that usually lead the week, so the combination of price and volume in Asscher is notable. Whether it reflects a mix shift toward larger, natural stones in that cut or simply a change in which retailers pushed inventory this week, I'd want to see it hold in week 3 before calling it a trend.

The cross-retailer spread narrowed marginally, from 64.4% to 63.7%. Still wide. A buyer looking at the same stone across the retailers I track can expect to see price spreads of that magnitude, which means comparison shopping still pays off substantially. The most expensive stone in the period was a natural 25-carat D Flawless emerald cut certified by GIA, listed at $3,128,547. On the other end of the size story, the largest stone was a 40-carat lab-grown G VS2 oval at $106,710, about $2,663 per carat. The contrast between those two extremes says a lot about where the two markets sit right now.

Going into week 3, the round price is the thing to watch. A one-week correction in new-listing mix is one thing; if the $900 median holds or falls further, it will start dragging the whole market's per-carat averages down with it. The Asscher strength and the lab-grown share crossing 60% are both worth tracking. If lab-grown supply keeps accelerating while prices compress, the per-carat gap with natural widens further, and that's the kind of structural shift that takes months to play out.
