سوق الألماس، Week 10, 2026

Median price per carat hit $1,136 this week, a seven-week low and down nearly 24% from the $1,493 recorded back in W04. That's not a blip. It's a sustained compression that's been running since early February, and it's now sitting 17% below the rolling average for this window. The broader median price fell to $1,119, also a record low for the period. More supply, softer prices. The direction is consistent.

Active inventory crossed 22.6 million stones, a record high across the seven weeks tracked and up more than 128% since W04. New listings came in at 1.87 million for the week, roughly half of last week's 3.47 million, so the flood has eased somewhat. But off-market activity ticked up 22% week on week to 338,873 stones. More listings disappearing, not fewer arriving. Combined inventory is still growing because the inflow, even at its reduced pace, comfortably outpaces the outflow.

Lab-grown share reached 61.2% of active inventory, another record for this window. The new listings breakdown tells most of the story: 1.39 million lab-grown stones listed versus 486,000 natural, a ratio of roughly 2.9 to one. Lab-grown median price dropped 16% week on week to $725.76, while natural held relatively firm at $1,350, up just over 1%. The curious number is lab-grown median price per carat, which rose 22.7% to $593.81. That's a composition effect worth watching: it suggests the new lab-grown listings skewed toward larger, better-spec stones rather than the budget-conscious volume that dominated recent weeks. Natural new listings, by contrast, dropped 59% from last week, likely reflecting the hangover after a heavy W09 restocking push by a handful of names that did most of the listing.

Cross-retailer overlap hit 45.7%, also a record for this window, up from 34.8% in W04. That means nearly half of all active stones appear across multiple retailers simultaneously, a pattern that typically compresses achievable margins and concentrates competition on price. The spread metric softened fractionally to 88.0% from 88.9% last week, still historically wide for this data set. Cushion cut was the standout shape mover, with median price jumping 21.7% to $1,350 on 95,891 new listings. Radiant added 6.1% to reach $1,049. Princess, trillion and the catch-all "other" category all fell hard, with princess down 22% to $740 and trillion off nearly 40% to $508. Round dominated volume at 41.1% of new listings, as it almost always does.

At the top end, a 5.08ct faint pink pear from GIA priced at $2.83 million held the most-expensive slot this week. A 36.21ct fancy cushion at $2.23 million and a 52.63ct fancy oval at $1.17 million round out the headline stones. Notably, two 10ct D VVS1 lab-grown stones, a radiant and an Asscher, each priced at $2.04 million, appeared in the top five by value. Lab-grown breaking into the seven-figure conversation is no longer unusual, but stones at that price point still attract attention.

With inventory at record levels and per-carat pricing at its lowest in seven weeks, the pressure on natural diamonds will come from how quickly that lab-grown overhang clears. If off-market rates accelerate from here, pricing may find a floor. If they don't, and new listings normalise around the 1.5 to 2 million weekly range, the compression probably has further to run. Cushion's sharp price move is worth revisiting next week: either it holds and signals genuine demand, or it reverts and confirms a composition quirk in this week's batch.
