The
GIA-certified colored diamonds presented for sale below
are just a small sampling of the types and quality of
these very rare gems that WCM can obtain for clients in
relatively quick order and with excellent pricing. I
have enlisted the services, after appropriate due
diligence, of 4 nationally- recognized gemologists/brokers
in the U.S. and 3 international diamond dealers. If
you have a specific set of criteria for a fancy colored
diamond, please do not hesitate to email me at deals@fancy-colored-diamonds.com
or call toll-free at 877-855-9760. Or just fill our
the Request Form below. I will be happy
to discuss the most important selection criteria for
colored diamonds, especially with respect to the
significant differences in the requirements of cut and
clarity as they are always applied to the much more common
brilliant white diamond. Many of the GIA
certificates obtained by cutters and brokers for colored
diamonds are what are referred to as the Color Only Report
which does not detail all of the proportionality (cut
parameters) and clarity information contained in the Full
GIA Report. The establishment of the natural origin
and identification of the specific color of one of these
diamonds is of far greater importance to the potential
buyer than being diverted by the parameters of cut and
clarity, which are tertiary at best in the selection of an
investment quality fancy colored diamond. In fancy
colored diamonds as in real estate, it is COLOR, COLOR,
COLOR, and the intensity, saturation, and distribution of
the cut gem's color is what really matters to a potential
buyer of such a rarity.

P.S. Due to popular demand, we also sell the
highest-quality, superbly-cut White Brilliant Diamonds certified by our
30-year gemologist, GIA, or EGL. You will never be
disappointed with any diamond purchased from WCM, we
guarantee it.

GREEN diamonds are exceedingly rare, ultra-rare in fact, rarer
than Blue & Pink. And to have the rare color of Blue
skillfully blended within this predominantly GREEN diamond, Mother
Nature was in a very good mood when she created this fancy colored
diamond. The resultant Teal color is very attractive and
many colored diamond collectors would find this unique gem as a
welcome and powerful addition to their collection. Once
again, the WCM colored diamond hounds have searched for the most
rare hues and come up with a classic color combination.
Usually green diamonds are modified or have secondary yellow
colorations, so a blue combination with the Ultra-Rare GREEN is
unusual in itself. And it is all about color in fancy
colored diamonds. Favorably priced Green diamond with
unusually high clarity.

It seems like there is an abundance of Pink diamonds based on all
of the stellar gems I have been able to offer for sale this year,
but I just have excellent sources around the world for rare
material. Furthermore, there could be some hedge fund
speculators or investors that need to raise cash to eliminate
highly-leveraged positions, so some Pinks are coming back onto the
market after the recent financial and commodities market
meltdowns. These are hardly "fire sales" since the
sellers have held onto these very rare gems for years, and in many
cases are looking at 100% plus gains based upon today's asking
prices. But every colored diamond aficionado that I converse
with is convinced that we are just in the first inning of a
multi-year, multi-100-percent gains Bull Market in Fancy Colored
Diamonds. What would you rather hold? The currency of
the realm which is
destined for a 30% to 50% decline by conservative measures, or a
very portable, discreet store of wealth that has easily maintained
its purchasing power over hundreds of years. YOU NEED PINK
TO BE IN THE PINK.

Both seasoned colored diamond collectors and astute tangible asset
investors are catching on to the fact that pure Orange diamonds
are exceedingly rare. Given the GIA grade on this boldly
colored diamond of Yellow-ORANGE, the proportion of Orange to the
total coloration presented to the viewer via the table-up position
is in the region of 70%. This implies that Yellow
composes some 30% of the total color presentation of the gem, but
since the diamond fluoresces a Medium Yellow hue with UV
stimulation (i.e., exposure to sunlight for example), one has to
review the table-down coloration of the gem in artificial, low UV
lighting to perceive just how Orange this diamond really is.
And indeed, it is a very, very Orange diamond. Not a pure
Orange, granted, or the price would be multiples of the very
reasonable current asking price. Buy an Orange diamond while
they are still available. Everyone in the trade is surprised
by how prices have moved on these predominantly Orange diamonds in
the last 18 months. I suspect that they will move much
higher due to their true rarity in the years ahead.

This fancy colored diamond is literally a steal. Where can
you buy 2.60 carats of PINK diamond with a slight secondary tint
of Orange for less than $200,000??? And we all know by now
that Orange is more rare than Purple as a color modifier for a
Pink diamond. With a full GIA colored diamond report, this
eye-clean gem sports the Deep level of color tone which is in
itself undervalued in the marketplace; why? because some dealers
think the Deep gems are "heavy" without adequate
sparkle, but this cushion cut was done by a very skilled cutter,
with plenty of fire and scintillation. Many observers,
including cutters and brokers who should know better, make the
error in judging a Deep Pink diamond as having a brown modifier
present. A look at the body color of this under-priced gem
is all I needed to know that this diamond was without brown
hues. Placing the diamond upside down and viewing the gem
from the side will give you a very good idea as to what colors are
present in a gem (this view is called the "body color"
of the diamond). A trip to Stephen Hofer's color laboratory
is an even better idea to determine total color content of any
fancy colored diamond. For just $350 extra, I will submit
this diamond to Mr. Hofer for the astute buyer of probably one of
the last UNDER-Priced Deep Pink diamonds around.

The incorporation of Brown in a predominantly Yellow diamond gives
the carbonic wonder a golden glow that is very rich and
appealing. Add in a Deep color saturation level, and you
have a very strong gem that is not going to be washed out by any
strong light source. This Goldenrod diamond sports a
modified radiant cut where the crown facets have curved bottoms
that give this colored diamond not only a unique color play with
light, but a most interesting physical shape. Modified
brilliant cuts are the norm, not the exception, on the wheels of
colored diamond cutters, so realize that with most of the colored
diamonds that you purchase, you will own a truly unique and
valuable gem. And likely of a unique color as well.
Perfect color to bring in the late days of Autumn, but even when
the chilling winds of Winter blow, this diamond will maintain its
sunny disposition. Nice large diamond at less than $10,000
per carat.

It is almost as if many collectors and those in the trade have
been reading WCM diamond descriptions, but both Yellow and
Yellowish Orange diamonds have become increasingly in
demand. It partially stems from the trade realization that
these very Orange diamonds are more rare than first expected; it
also stems from collectors' realizations that the price of a Pure
Orange diamond is usually out of reach for the vast majority of
souls and many diamonds such as the Orange beauty above is more
than an ample substitute at a fraction of the price. Mark my
words, and some obviously have already done so, Yellow-Orange and
Yellowish Orange colored diamonds are going to continue to
experience rising prices in the years ahead. This diamond
has a wonderful Marigold coloration evenly distributed throughout
the gem. Will sell for significantly more this time next
year as global Dollar holders rush to convert to timeless tangible
assets with a global marketplace.

Ah, Mother Nature did us a big favor by introducing brownish hues
into the crystalline structure of this very large, 3 carat plus,
PINK diamond. Graded a Fancy color level by GIA, this gem's
overall Orangey Pink coloration is more in the Intense saturation
level by any measure. The trade is still discounting Pink
diamonds with brownish hues, but this incorrect pricing action
will not persist in the years ahead as Argyle Mine production
grinds down to a minimal number of Pink diamonds/carats being
extracted in future years. Not many large-sized Pink
diamonds around the market today, and if one does pop out of a
cutter's hand, it is snapped up very quickly, Chinese and Middle
Eastern buyers often at the front of the line.
Misconceptions on rarity caused by prejudices at the retail level
create buying opportunities for astute collectors and
investors. This diamond is a prime example of same.
Very well-made colored diamond with Very Good Polish and Very Good
Symmetry, a feat seldom possible in these very rare gems.

One of the undoubtedly most spectacular and extremely rare colored
diamonds one can ever hope to come across ......... A Natural
Fancy VIVID PINK Diamond. This diamond fluoresces Bluish
hues under UV light excitation, so what you think you are seeing
as Purplish hues (this is truly a Pure Pink!! Hofer could
verify once studied), is really the combined light-waves of Blue
and Light Red, also known as Pink. Color science is quite a
fascinating endeavor (quite technical, but rewarding), and if one
remembers his or her Physics 101 coursework, Blue and Red combine
to produce Purple. As time progresses in the study of Fancy
Colored Diamonds, more and more members of the trade will employ
scientific explanations to clients and prospects pertaining to
visual perceptions of specific gems offered for sale. A
standard Daylight lighting may eventually be adopted for trade
imaging of these exquisite, but "tough to capture in so many
pixels" rarities. Fluorescence characteristics of a gem
can definitely affect visual color perceptions. DID I
MENTION THAT THIS VIVID PINK IS A STEAL AT $160,000 PER
CARAT! Could easily retail for $30,000 to $40,000 more for
this Raspberry Wonder.

Diamonds of all Orange flavors are red hot in the fancy colored
diamond marketplace, not to mix colors from a metaphorical
standpoint. As I have noted numerous times throughout these
pages, collectors have come to the realization that this color
combination is probably the most economical way to acquire an
Orange diamond. Orange diamonds have become very popular
over just the last 3 years, and were this a pure Vivid Orange
diamond, it would cost around $350,000 plus. The Yellow
dominant color actually adds life and brilliance to this diamond,
giving it diverse characteristics dependent upon viewing angles
and lighting conditions. Large and rare diamond that will do
well in the years ahead. Would be spectacular in a custom
piece of jewelry.

A Golden Dewdrop of a diamond. The blend of Orange with the

the most popular AND sought-after colors in the market
today. The slightly elongated cut of this classic Oval
Brilliant cut diamond lends the gem to many custom jewelry
applications. Less than $17,000 per carat for a nicely

use Platinum or White Gold in the mounting to provide contrast
versus Yellow Gold. Lovely, lovely gem.

This is probably the closest most of us will get to a diamond with
Red or Reddish hues within it. Although Brown is well known
to be one of the most commonly found colors in diamonds, the
combination with Red makes this a very, very rare diamond.
This is such a heavily saturated diamond, note the white
background and suspended positioning of this image which helps to
neutralize background color influences, I am a little puzzled why
the diamond only received a Fancy color level from GIA versus an
Intense or even Deep designation. But the window that the
cutter so skillfully crafted within this superbly rich
"Chestnut" makes it know to all that view it that this
diamond unquestionably has rare Reddish hues throughout. A
large fancy colored diamond with excellent depth of color and
Reddish tones for less than $16,000 per carat, a head turning
combination of qualities. As I have said in the past, Brown
diamonds seldom get the respect they deserve as true rarities in
Nature. This Reddish Brown diamond can command respect.

A literal cornucopia of color that is very pleasing in its
composite presentation. One really doesn't perceive the Deep
color level from this diamond, but rather an almost Vivid
saturation that is darkened by the introduction of Brownish
hues. If black were added to the color palate as evidenced
by the resultant Pink coloration's tone, then the trained eye
would consider this a Deep Pink diamond with two color
modifiers. This is a totally unique Colored Diamond in the
way that the classic Round Brilliant cut works with the internal
crystalline colors and literally throws them out at you from all
angles. As I have said before, acquiring an Orangey Pink
diamond that has Brownish hues will prove to be a wise and very
economical decision as the supply of virtually all predominantly
Pink diamonds dwindle to very few new carats from Mother Earth in
the years ahead. Not to mention what this eye-clean beauty
provides in visual entertainment: a color palette that seems to be
alive.

My eyes keep telling me that this is a Red diamond based on the
saturation level of color. One of the most saturated Vivid

anything but the most saturated rough and expose all of its
frailties if it were not an exceptional diamond for the very
revealing Emerald cut. Feathers, clouds, carbon spots, pins
are all bared for the world to see with this large-facet,
magnificent cut. But this diamond carries an SI1 Clarity
grade (that is borderline VS2!). Weakness of color
saturation would be accentuated with the white-light grabbing
abilities of these same mirror-like facets, but this Vivid Pink
diamond ends up pulsing like a Burma Ruby. A Stephen Hofer
Colored Diamond Report would be icing on the cake for this Queen
of Vivid Pink diamonds. At $210,000 per carat for such a
saturated Pink diamond in a most exquisite cut, a true find.

Brown seems to get no respect in the world of fancy colored
diamonds, but Pink is toward the top of the rarity totem
pole. I will say it once more: Buying a diamond with a
brown modifier and Pink as the dominant color will prove to be a
very wise decision in the years to come. You get a heck of a
deal in the cost per carat, yet as Pink rough production grinds to
a halt from the Argyle Mine in Australia, buyers will no longer
discount a Pink diamond with a brown modifier. In fact, they
will bid aggressively for the diamond since that may be the only
Pink diamond available at any price. Plus, this Wine color
created by Mother Nature in blending Brown with Pink is quite
appealing to any that have seen such a diamond. The brown
gives the diamond a richness it otherwise would not have.
Enough said.

Even some of today's experienced diamond dealers do not realize
how exceptionally rare a pure Vivid Green diamond is. And
one that has nary a hint of yellowish hues within its crystalline
structure and is devoid of visible inclusions such as this
SI1 Clarity diamond is literally worthy of the
"ultra-rare" moniker. We have been actively
searching for Vivid Green diamonds for well over 2 years now, but
we have found few candidates as strong in its qualities and
pureness of Green color as this "Clover Green"
diamond. I can attest to the fact that many of the Green
colored diamonds that we have come across in the Vivid color
category have been priced higher than this splendid
specimen; and even some of these examples had ever so slight hints
of yellowish tones. At the top tier of fancy colored diamond
colors, a Vivid Green diamond is a keystone gem to any colored
diamond collection.

These "Day-Glo" Yellow diamonds are increasingly popular
because the color combination with Green creates such an unusual

from all observers will follow this carbonic wonder where ever you

and many collectors may begin to even consider pure Yellow

we bring them into inventory, they do not stay around long.
Once you have seen this unique creation of Nature's artistry, you

Another very rare color that is seldom found in diamond, this
"Amber" gem flashes some hints of yellow that is
primarily due to the fluorescence characteristics of Orange
diamonds. Ultraviolet light causes Orange diamonds to emit a
yellowish fluorescence so one cannot find even a "pure
Orange" diamond without some suggestions of yellowish hues
within the gem. The cutter did a masterful job of creating
this totally unique colored diamond in his modification of the
traditional Heart Brilliant cut. While the two lobes of the
heart shape have been melded together in this exquisite work of
art, the cutter totally maximized color saturation by doing so
...... yielding the DEEP color grade. There are few Deep
Orange diamonds available anywhere in the world. Would make
an outstanding pendant for that special someone.

Some very interesting color "perceptions" are occurring
in the combination and strengths of colors in this diamond.
It is not very apparent that there is a lot of Brown in this
diamond. In fact, studying the color of the gem, one can
deduce that there is really quite a contribution of Green to
overall coloration. This influence enriches the diamond's
color to an extent that the GIA graders must have felt a degree of
Brown was present to do so. However, another expert observer
could label this superb diamond a Green-Yellow since there is no
doubt that there is substantially more Green present than
Brown. The effects of light, natural versus artificial, will
also change the balance of colors perceived by the human eye
within this rare Round Brilliant cut diamond. Natural
sunlight, with more wavelengths in the Yellow region, would
necessarily emphasize the predominant Yellow color from within the
gem; not to mention any Fluorescence in the Blue hue that combined
with Yellow yields Green! Any way you cut it, this is a
wonderful fancy colored diamond at less than $7,500 per carat, a
"steal" in my experience.

This is hardly a dull fancy colored diamond.
What is singularly most interesting about Dark Colored Diamonds is
that they are full of fire and scintillation when rotated in
either natural or artificial light such as a fluorescent
bulb. Images are basically two-dimensional, a real pity when
it comes to attempting to convey the "play with light"
that a natural diamond provides when in one's possession. As
shown by the crown facet areas off from the top/table facet, this
diamond is imbibed with a plethora of Orange and Orangey hues that
create the classic "Cognac" presentation in
diamond. I would label this diamond "Cognac
Chocolate" due to its rather rare depth of color, reminding
one of a favorite chocolate tidbit that melts in your mouth.
Don't try to eat this gem; much better to adorn your personage
with it! I1 clarity means little in such a Dark Chocolate
gem. Dark Chocolate with Cognac filling, of course.
