WCM308 - $18,500.00
2.10 carats 
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.

Pear Brilliant Cut,

I1, some visible inclusions, so what?! 

SOLD

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.

Oval Brilliant Cut, 
VIVID PINK
SI2, Totally Eye-Clean 

SOLD

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.

Oval Brilliant Cut
DEEP ORANGEY Yellow
SI2 

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.

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
SI1 - SI2

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.

2.06 Total carats, Matched Pair
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.

Dark Brownish GREENISH Yellow, "Camie"
VS1, very Eye-Clean

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.

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.
