The
GIA-certified colored diamonds shown below have been SOLD,
but are left on the WCM website to depict 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. 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.

Modified
Radiant Cut,
Deep Brown Yellow
VS2
|
|
SOLD
|
|
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.

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.

SOLD

A Golden Dewdrop of a diamond. The blend of Orange with the
depth of a Deep color saturation level makes this an extremely
solid Orangey Yellow fancy colored diamond. This is one of
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
shaped and sized diamond with a color so golden you would have to
use Platinum or White Gold in the mounting to provide contrast
versus Yellow Gold. Lovely, lovely gem.

It has certainly begun to catch on that Orange diamonds, even with
a modest secondary color such as a Yellowish hue, are exceptionally
RARE. As I have noted on these pages previously and
copiously, most colored diamonds that appear to be totally Orange,
in fact, do have some yellowish tinges to them, due to fluorescent
under UV light if nothing else. This is an outstanding
example of an Orange diamond where the influence of Yellow is very
modest and almost an Orangey Yellow at that. These
particular fancy colored diamonds are going to do very well into
the future, as they have done in price appreciation over the last
3 years. This class of colored diamond, Orange or Yellowish
Orange, have gained in price some 70% over this very short time
period. No reason to believe, especially with a failing
global financial system with uncontrolled inflation, that this
very rare specimen of diamond will not do equally well going
forward. PORTABLE, TANGIBLE WEALTH that is very easy to
transport from country to country.

SOLD

When you find a fancy colored diamond in a round brilliant cut,
think very earnestly about buying it. Round cut diamonds in
fancy colors are very difficult to obtain. This specimen, so
heavily saturated with Raspberry colors, that the trained eye has
to consider the diamond a borderline Vivid color grade! The
cutter did a splendid job of lengthening the distances within the
gem from the internal pavilion to crown to table facets in order
to absorb as much white light as possible, thereby maximizing the
color depth of the gem's inherent body color. In fact, the
table's border with the crown region is so saturated, one gets the
impression that he or she is seeing some Red in this
diamond. Superb and very rare example of a Pink diamond and
a nice size that is not carrying a hefty price tag for such a
rarity. Acquire a rare Pink of size while they are still
affordable.

EMERALD Cut
DEEP Yellow-Brown

SOLD

This "Marigold" colored diamond combines Yellow and
Brown hues in such a manner that one thinks he or she is viewing
an Orange diamond. Skillfully cut, this diamond still
achieved a Deep tonal level even with the large, light-reflecting
facets of an Emerald cut. You know that the rough diamond
had to be very clean for the cutter to select this facet pattern,
and it almost looks like Mother Nature used Windex on these superb
crystalline mirrors. This outstanding colored diamond would
make a knock-out center gem for a man's ring or a lady's brooch
for that matter. As my clients already know I have no
hesitation in recommending Brown diamonds for their collections,
because I feel the market is missing the very fact that these are
still very rare diamonds. And in combinations of Yellow and
Orange, they mimic the hues of an idyllic October woods.

ROUND Brilliant Cuts
1.02 ct. Deep Brown Orange, SI2 and
1.04 ct. Deep Brownish Yellowish Orange, SI1
|
|
SOLD
|
|
Excellently well-matched pair of one-carat plus "Cognac"
diamonds that would make a knock-out pair of Tiffany-style
earrings. Although the 1.04 carat Orange diamond has a
flavoring of yellow hues within (diamond on the left), the
diffraction of light within its sister diamond, the 1.02 carat,
also produces yellowish hints although the diamond is technically
a Brown Orange diamond. Once the twins are separated by the
proud wearer's lovely face, any ever-so-slight differences in
appearance between the two Brown(ish) Orange diamonds melt away
into a vision of pure elegance and a unique fashion
statement. A pear-cut colorless or yellow diamond could be
crafted to hang effortlessly below these Orange globes to give the
earring even more panache, uniqueness, and flare. Cognac
diamonds are very easy to work with in jewelry design since they
are very complimentary to all skin tones. Still favorably
priced in today's very hot colored diamond market.

SOLD

Having been in a multitude of military facilities over the years,
Walter Reed Army Medical Center for one, I have come in contact
with a lot of camouflage patterns. That is what this color
reminds me of, one of the darker, European forest patterns often
worn by U.S. soldiers stationed in Germany, etc. Wonderful
combination of forest flora colors, Brown, Green, and a very
subdued Yellow due to the Dark color level for this diamond.
This could be a montage of colors for the Black Forest of
Bavaria. Green diamonds are rare, no question, while Green
diamonds with Brown and Yellow components are less rare, but still
at least 1000 times more rare than a similar White/Colorless
diamond. Round cuts are seldom seen in fancy colored
diamonds, and when found, are certainly a collector's item.
Unique color for that special someone or collection or piece of
custom jewelry. Very clean fancy colored diamond for a work
of Mother Nature.

Cushion Brilliant Cut
VIVID "Canary" YELLOW
SI1

SOLD
|

A true "Canary Yellow" diamond of significant size and
modest price. Pure Yellow stills remains one of the most
popular and affordable Colored Diamond categories, and have sold
very well in 2008 when the U.S. economy shows all signs of
recession. Investors and collectors are effectively
converting their depreciating Dollars for a tangible, portable
asset that has proven its ability to maintain purchasing power
over hundreds and hundreds of years. This diamond was imaged
in artificial light, which somewhat subdues the fire, brilliance,
and scintillation of a Canary Yellow diamond. A 2-carat
Yellow diamond is going to be increasingly difficult to obtain due
to surging demand in the years ahead. The public has
literally woken up to the value of fancy colored diamonds as a
means to protecting one's hard-earned wealth. A Vivid color
level makes this gem even more desirable and, of course,
rare. Well-made diamond.

PEAR Brilliant Cut, European Mine cut
FANCY INTENSE BLUE
SI1, "Eye-Clean"
|
|
SOLD
|
|
A classically cut, highly-saturated INTENSE BLUE diamond of
"Sky Blue" color utilizing the Old Mine cut that was
extremely popular in Europe in the 1800's and early 1900's.
When it comes to the rarest of colored diamond colors, Blue, it is
always about the even distribution of color in the cut gem and
accompanying brilliance/scintillation, not about the technical
aspects of the facet patterns themselves. Colored diamond
cuts are always a compromise in actuality since skillfully
executed modifications to a standard brilliant cut for any shape
of diamond are regularly made to maximize the color through the
table and off-axis crown views. And one has to marvel at the
end-product off the cutter's wheel for this Intense Blue diamond
that has color regions that hint at the Vivid level of
saturation. Size means little to true collectors of these
ultra-rare gems, and to attempt to purchase Intense Blue diamonds
at one-half carat or more requires several more trips to the
bank. Exceptional fancy colored diamond.
