Paper money is based on … nothing at all.
It is a promise you hold in the palm of your hand. Its value is unrelated to any solid object, such as gold.
That’s why central banks are currently printing thousands of billions of dollars, pounds and Euro’s, even though these vast sums are not backed by anything tangible.
Whether these policies work or not, there’s no doubting that it’s a risky option that could spin the world back to the hyper inflation of the 1930s.
Western countries are battling a debt of enormous proportions for which they fail to find an
adequate solution. In the meantime, debt continues to accumulate, which will lead to enormous
inflation and an implosion of paper money: the debt bubble will burst*.

There has to be a better option than this sort of speculation…

There is. It’s diamonds.

Diamonds are the smallest, lightest and the most concentrated form of wealth in the world today
You know what makes them special.
They are easy to carry discreetly – and their values keep going up!
Investing in Excellence…
On average, diamond prices have increased by more than 14 % per annum for over 50 years.
Nothing else can match this track record of stable and increasing value …
plus amazing resilience during times of political volatility, social unrest and financial crises.
