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.

VIVID Yellow ORANGE
SI1

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.

Fancy Brownish Orangey PINK
SI1, Eye-Clean 

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.

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.

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 and striking color.  And an endless stream of compliments from all observers will follow this carbonic wonder where ever you go.  This Green-Yellow coloration literally jumps out at you, and many collectors may begin to even consider pure Yellow diamonds as almost bland after owning a Day-Glo Yellow.  When we bring them into inventory, they do not stay around long.  Once you have seen this unique creation of Nature's artistry, you will wonder out loud why you never owned one previously.  Round brilliant cuts in fancy colored diamonds are quite rare in themselves.  Does not glow in the dark, however, but you would think it did!

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.

Normally, I do not recommend Fancy Light colored diamonds because the color levels in most of these gems are usually so faint that I don't think the gems stand out well enough to warrant their acquisition.  THAT IS NOT THE CASE WITH THIS WELL-SATURATED LIGHT BLUE DIAMOND!  This color reminds me of scenes from Alaska of "Glacial Ice", where the absorption of all light waves of white light are consumed with Ice Blue being the only color to escape at the periphery.  Picture the edge of a 100 Million year-old glacier in a salty seaward bay and this Light Blue diamond must have formed from within its icy grip.  A little dramatic, I know, but I seldom get excited about Light color levels in diamonds.  Borderline Fancy color saturation, reminds me of a Blue quartz crystal that I bought at Mammoth Cave in Kentucky back in the 1950's.  An a traditional Oval Brilliant cut with very clean VS1 clarity to boot.

DARK GREEN-Gray

Although Gray is not technically a color for you purists out there, it is one of my favorite creations from Mother Nature in diamond.  There is a healthy dose of Green in this predominantly Gray diamond (hence, GIA grades the diamond Green-Gray versus Greenish Gray), a rare occurrence in itself; this combination with a strong Green secondary color makes the more common color of Gray infinitely more rare .  This particular color palette normally reminds me of Antique Pewter, but there is so much Green in this diamond that I am at a loss to provide a Common Name moniker for this hue.  Maybe an English Moss Green?  Very well made fancy colored diamond, with no lack of fiery scintillation and brilliance as a result of the cutter's art.  True collector's diamond, although there are few on Madison Avenue in NYC that fully appreciate the rarity and beauty of such a carbonic gem.

INTENSE Pinkish PURPLE
SI3, as expected with a Purple diamond. 

 
Unknown to many collectors and investors is the fact that Purple diamonds are probably the most rare color class next to the ultimate Red Diamond rarities.  One can always tell how much Pink secondary modifier is in a Purple diamond by the white-ish facets of internally reflected light .... they reveal the presence of Pink every so slightly in this superb example of an "Amethyst" colored diamond.  Also to be expected in addition to a Pink to Pinkish modifier in such a rarity is the presence of some form of natural inclusions, in this case a very minor "whitish feather" on the lower left area of the image where the table intersects with crown facets.  Not distracting, not a big deal, no impact on value upon re-sale, and another marker that this is indeed a Natural Purple diamond possibly from Siberian origin.  Very well-priced at about $85,000 per carat, have seen many in the $125,000 to $150,000 price per carat zone with not as much overall Purple coloration.  Buy a Purple diamond before the word gets out on their ultra-rarity.

Fancy Grayish BLUE
VVS2, exceptionally clean colored diamond! 

 
This is the same color combination as the Hope Diamond in the Smithsonian in Washington, but this diamond has been graded at the Fancy level of color saturation, not the Deep Grayish Blue of the Hope.  This "Steel Blue" diamond has a tremendous amount of Blue facet flashes, so one has to wonder out loud whether this diamond may in fact be a borderline Intense Blue at the low end of that next saturation zone.  In any case, it is an exceptionally fine and rare specimen of the Blue color found in diamond, and worthy of the finest, most discriminating collections.  Radiant cuts were developed especially for colored diamond rough, and the cutter did an excellent job of maximizing the presentation of Blue in the face up or table up view of this diamond.  Very difficult to find Blue diamonds with such outstanding clarity in the One Carat Plus weight category.  Perfect for the investor / collector trying to get out of Dollars, U.S. banks, and even U.S. money markets.

The mere fact that Green is the predominant color in this diamond speaks volumes as to the absolute rarity of the gem.  The modifying colors of Gray and Yellow give this exceptionally large-sized 3.02 carat diamond an "Olive" color that is highly prized amongst those in the know.  These experienced collectors and investors realize that this is truly a very rare diamond, especially since it is not a Chameleon diamond with this combination of colors.  The radiant cut remains the most popular diamond facet pattern on the market, and this is a well-made diamond indeed with plenty of fire and scintillation as one's viewing angle rotates around the table plane of the gem.  At under $10,000 per carat, what else must I say, but:  "Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!"

The veritable top of the rarity scale in fancy colored diamond, a Purplish RED diamond.  This Red has already been analyzed by Stephen Hofer as being a true Red diamond, not a Deep Pink which is often mis-graded as a Red by GIA.  So we have already taken this 30% possibility out of the transaction by getting a Hofer Colored Diamond Report from the unquestioned top expert in this field.  Many investors around the globe are frantically converting Dollars into tangible assets since the Dollar is being created in the Trillions literally by the week in Washington.  Fancy colored diamonds have done very well in 2008, partially for this very reason of being a store of wealth over the millennia.  As U.S. obligations explode and flood the world with paper promises, even the most expensive and most rare fancy colored diamonds will continue to be acquired since there will be no lack of liquidity available to do so in smart money hands.  Safer than Dollars in a U.S. bank.  A decidedly "Ruby" Red diamond.

I am going to let you in on a secret that very few investors and diamond brokers know at this point in time:  The Argyle Mine in Western Australia will be closed by the Fall of 2009, meaning that the primary source for high-quality Pink diamonds will no longer be providing the world with these extremely rare, soon to get even more rare, colored diamonds.  So if you have been holding off on a Pink diamond purchase, trying to pick a soft point in this specialized segment of colored diamonds, it is just not going to happen.  In fact, just the opposite is already happening:  Prices for such superb, exceptionally well-made, rare cut, almost Raspberry colored diamonds such as this very large 80 point wonder, are going to move steadily higher in the immediate months ahead.  There is no scarcity of high-end buyers in a world flooded with depreciating U.S. Dollars thanks to the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury.  Global investors, especially those in Hong Kong and China and Southeast Asia, are fleeing Dollar deposits in preference for time-tested tangible assets such as fancy colored diamonds.  I have been urging my clients to purchase several rare Pink diamonds for their budding collections for over 5 years now, and my advice could not have been more spot on.  An early closure of the Argyle Mine coupled with massive shifts in investment allocations around the world is a recipe for the buyer of this and other excellent examples of Pink diamonds to stay well ahead of the inflationary times just around the corner.  Almost has a much saturation as a Vivid Pink diamond.

I have seen a lot of fancy colored diamonds over the last decade that I have been studying and brokering them.  This Sea-deep Aquamarine color is exceptional and truly worthy of the finest fancy colored diamond collection.  Don't get distracted by the 24 point size of this supreme rarity:  Many of the finest collections have many 20 to 30 point specimens since it is all about COLOR, COLOR, COLOR above all other qualities in these rarities.  This $200,000 per carat pricing is not exorbitant at all for this Green Blue diamond, since diamonds are very, very seldom seen with this extremely rare color combination.  Magnificently cut diamond of high-end clarity at VS1 with Very Good Polish and Very Good Symmetry, all characteristics that are as rare as the depth of color in this carbonic wonder.  Blue is obviously the predominant color is this diamond, and the Green is so fully mixed with dollops of Blue that Aquamarine could have been the secondary color descriptor.  Holding this diamond in your hand and rotating it in the light would be better than watching an Academy award winning movie.  And much more profitable in the end.

WOW!  For anyone looking for a very large YELLOW diamond, this 4.09 carat beauty has everything.  Low price at $6,300 per carat, but lots of color thanks to Mother Nature introducing splashes of Brownish and Greenish hues ever so gingerly throughout the crystalline structure of the gem.  These modifying colors actually push the color saturation from just Fancy to Intense as a matter of visual perception.  There is a minor brown spot on the crown of the diamond, but GIA graded this gem correctly as a very clean VS1 since this inclusion is not at all distracting given the overall fine presentation of this Yellow diamond.  Mother Nature can take a bow with this fine colored diamond.  Personally, I prefer Yellow diamonds with secondary and tertiary color modifiers, because these palette additions offer depth, interest, and variety to this often mono-tonal class of colored diamonds.  Natural sunlight is going to set this gem afire with the 3-color mix embedded in its crystalline matrix, so he or she who purchases this diamond is in for a real visual treat.

Fancy INTENSE BLUE

One of the most rare colors found in Natural Colored Diamonds, PURE BLUE, is exceedingly difficult to find in carat weights greater than one half carat ( 50 points ).  Not to mention that this diamond possesses a "Sky Blue" or "Bachelor's Button" level of saturation that purports itself very well in this tweezer-shot image; note how white light is flooding the back of the diamond, yet the color remains very rich.  This method of photographing colored diamonds shows to the world the level of color saturation in a diamond.  Accordingly, there is no doubt that this is a singular color Blue diamond as well as a high-end Intense level of saturation.  In addition, nary an inclusion to be see at SI2 eye-clean clarity. At just over $135,000 per carat for an Intense Pure Blue diamond, this very rare gem is aggressively priced .......... I have seen more than not $200k plus prices on diamonds at this saturation level and size.  The world is turning to put Billions of Dollars into hard assets and increasingly is jettisoning the world of securitized, financial assets that are literally rotting on the vine today.  These Pure Blue diamonds have held their values for centuries.  The same cannot be said of currencies, stocks, or bonds of now questionable issuers.  I will take Rock over Paper any day.
