There was little movement overall. Rounds were down, fancies were mixed.
Rounds
Rounds were largely unchanged during September. Price drops dominated in most sizes. Half-carats (0.50-0.69-cts), one-carats (1.00-1.25-cts) and two-carats (2.00-2.99-cts) saw small clusters of decreases. Smaller goods - 0.18-0.69-cts - saw more price drops than rises. 0.70-0.89-ct goods fared better.
