In this article we’ll be looking at the pros and cons of investing in diamonds versus gold.

Gold hit its highest level in six years last week, as the price soared to $1,452 (£1,157) on Thursday. Gold prices also gained today after a small fall over the weekend, after tensions in the Middle East and weak financial markets.
