Is the gold price higher than diamonds?

Your answer depends on the purity of the gold and the quality of the diamond. When comparing one gram of 24 karat gold -- the purest gold -- compared with one gram -- five carats -- of the highest quality diamond, the diamond price would be higher. For example, today, based on gold at US$1,054.20/gram = $33.89@gram, and based on the highest quality, five-carat diamond at US$404,055, the price of the diamond is far higher than the price of gold. Conversely, a lower-karat gold gram, or a lower-quality diamond could alter the disparity. This is because about 80% of all diamonds mined are industrial diamonds, not gem quality. You can purchase a bag of industrial diamonds for about the price of a latte.
