Once in a while, we come across some spectacular and unusual gems. Fancy colored diamonds are among the most beautiful and valuable gems in the world.
A little bit about fancy diamonds from the GIA website:
Gem diamonds in GIA’s D-to-Z range usually decrease in value as the color becomes more obvious. Just the opposite happens with fancy color diamonds: Their value generally increases with the strength and purity of the color. Large, vivid fancy color diamonds are extremely rare and very valuable. However, many fancy diamond colors are muted rather than pure and strong.
This cushion shape fancy yellow diamond weighs over 30 carat and sold for about $1,000,000.
This radiant cut is a fancy vivid yellow color, weighs 5 carat, and sold for around $200,000.
These matched fancy yellow square-radiant diamonds were set into custom yellow gold earrings for one of our clients.
