Yes, generally. Because, with age, most every commodity appreciates in value over time.
If you are holding a diamond for investment purposes, please take it to a certified gemologist who will help you document the quality of the stone. Then put the stone in a safe deposit box, and over time, research the value of similar stones.
If you want to buy an investment-grade stone, shop around to find the best stone at the lowest price. Again, get a certificate of the stone's value and put it away.
It may take 10 or 20 years to see an appreciable increase in any diamond's value, but generally, its value will increase with age.
