A diamond shortage is likely to hit the industry in the next few years, Bloomberg reports.

A supply deficit is predicted to hit sometime around 2021, according to new reports from industry analysts Berenberg and Panmure Gordon.

That’s good news for industry participants who have been “squeezed by oversupply,” according to Bloomberg.

A shortage has been predicted for years but has never arrived, thanks to “underwhelming” demand and zealous mining.

Panmure anticipates a shortage of 15 million carats in 2021. That would amount to 10 percent of global supply.

Predictions call for rough diamond prices to begin rising in 2021 or 2022.

Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration

After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years." Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations. The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
