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.

GIA Report	WCM216 - $14,000 1.26 carat PEAR Cut, INTENSE Yellow ORANGE SI3
SOLD
My kingdom for an Orange diamond. Maybe some of my clients are actually following my advice regarding Orange diamonds this year, but they have become very popular and sell quickly. I find their coloration, whether predominantly orange or slightly yellowish orange, to be quite pleasing and even soothing. There are probably psychological studies in existence that substantiate the effect of colors on people's moods, but personally, I find the "warmer" colors to be as relaxing to gaze upon as the "cooler" colors of blue and green. The Orange hues within this diamond are evenly dispersed throughout and are accompanied by hints of yellow that add to the brilliance of the color presentation of this diamond. As an INTENSE fancy colored diamond, there is distinct richness to the color. This would be a juicy, sun-ripened Pear indeed. But not a juicy price.
GIA Report	WCM214 - $75,000 0.63 carat EMERALD Cut, VIVID Purplish PINK, SI1
SOLD
This pink diamond is a TEN out of Ten. Look how the purple secondary hues display themselves in the large facets of this classic Emerald cut! It is merely the physics of light that is at play here where the internal reflections of the evenly dispersed Purplish Pink coloration has been diffused into sets of watery purple facets. The gem has Even Color Distribution throughout, so the light and the angle of viewing is creating this not-unpleasant, segmented color effect. You get two colored diamonds for the price of one: A predominantly very rare VIVID PINK diamond and an even rarer Purple diamond. A lovely cut diamond that is in possibly the hottest segment of the fancy colored diamond market today ....... PINK! Add Good Symmetry and Very Good Polish along with Medium Blue Fluorescence and this gem will provide many years of enjoyment as a store of wealth and an object of beauty.
GIA Report	WCM182 - $87,500 2.08 carat OVAL cut! Intense Yellow GREEN, SI2
SOLD
Don't be distracted by the carbon spot showing up on this 50x plus magnified image, because your eyes will not see them without the use of a jewelers loupe. (And inclusions are the norm, not the exception, in colored diamonds.) This is an eye-clean SI2 clarity colored diamond in the second most rare color: GREEN. We have been sourcing and selling many green diamonds to investors and collectors of late, because green is actually more rare than pink and blue on the hierarchy of colored diamond rarities. Without the yellow secondary hue, and yellow is ever so faint in this truly GREEN diamond (hence the Yellow-Green moniker versus Green-Yellow), this diamond would be closer to $200,000 in price. Buy extreme rarities while they are still available, because most colored diamond buyers put the gems away for 5 to 10 years and they will only be back on the market again at much, much higher prices.
SOLD	WCM141 - $42,250 2.24 carat, Radiant VIVID Yellow SI1 - SI2
SOLD	WCM163 - $24,500 1.35 carats Cushion cut Yellow-GREEN SI2, Eye-Clean w/o 10x loupe!
SOLD	WCM167 - $21,500 1.01 carat Brilliant Round cut DEEP Yellow (but priced like a Vivid!) VS1
GIA Report	WCM232 - $29,250 2.03 carats ROUND Cut!, Intense Yellow, VVS1
SOLD
Large rich-yellow diamonds, known in the trade as Canary Diamonds after their resemblance to the color of that diminutive domesticated song bird, are increasingly difficult to obtain. Since yellow is one of the most affordable color categories for fancy colored diamonds, demand seems to stay at a perpetually high level. Very pure yellow diamond in a rare round cut that makes the gem almost look like a 2.5 carat gem, a fact that makes this diamond perfect for an upscale ring. Excellent starter colored diamond for the investor or collector. Exceptional clarity at VVS1 with full GIA report.
GIA Report	WCM236 - $10,175 1.55 carat Radiant Cut, INTENSE Yellow, Canary VS2
SOLD
This is a very-aggressively priced (meaning bargain-priced!) Intense Yellow colored diamond that is deemed a Canary Yellow in the trade. Common descriptive names per Mr. Hofer would be daffodil or saffron, but the pleased viewer of this diamond can use any term he or she would like to describe the pure Yellow color. Yellow diamonds remain one of the most affordable color categories of rare colored diamonds, but that does not mean that as a class they have not appreciated at least 10% to 15% over the last 3 to 4 years. And the larger carat sizes have, as expected appreciated even more due to their enhanced rarity due to weight/size. If I was looking for a Fancy Yellow diamond for an engagement ring or stupendous gift, this remarkable buy would be my first choice. (Did I mention the diamond's Clarity is VS2, unusually clean for a colored diamond?!)
GIA Report	WCM237 - $53,600 5.06 carat Cushion Cut Fancy Yellow Internally Flawless, IF
SOLD
Wow! The Mother of All Yellow Diamonds. A movie actress would be quite pleased to have this large rock on her finger, but this is not a Hollywood & Vine or Rodeo Drive price for this Yellow diamond. At just over $10,000 per carat, I would venture to say that this gem would easily sell for $13,000 to $15,000 per carat at such an exceptional size and at the highly-unusual Clarity of Internally Flawless. As a colored diamond broker, I just do not see many IF colored diamonds since Mother Nature had to introduce non-carbon molecules into the inorganic soup to create color. And along with these coloring molecules, the rule is the introduction of inclusions, clouds, or feathers, almost without fail. As I have said numerous times in these pages, buy a large Yellow diamond while you can still find them, because they are rarities unto themselves. Very rich yellow coloration.
S. Hofer Grading Reports available	WCM240 - $33,600 0.85 carats Total, 0.40 and 0.45 carat, Superbly Matched PAIR Radiant Cuts, INTENSE Purplish PINK SI2, both Eye-Clean
SOLD
This exceptionally well-matched pair of Intense Purplish Pink diamonds (reports available upon request) are noteworthy in being almost identical in both face-up sizing and overall coloration. Aside from the fact that they are in the increasingly rare Pink color class that is literally flying off of every dealer's shelf, this exquisite pair of colored diamonds are almost natural twins, a rare feat in Nature. It has been noted how cheap our pricing was for such a rare pair of diamonds, but we price from the wholesale level just beyond the cutter's pricing which puts our final asking prices significantly below jewelers' or most of our competitors' pricing schema. Impossible pair to duplicate, and within a class of fancy colored diamonds destined to set new price records in the years ahead. ARE YOU IN THE PINK?!
GIA Report	WCM242 - $19,650 1.05 carat Radiant Cut VIVID Yellow-ORANGE SI1
SOLD
I almost feel like a citrus-grower from Florida this year with all of the wonderful orange colored diamonds that I have had the distinction to present to clients. Well over a year ago I asked all of my diamond brokers to seek out almost pure Orange diamonds, and they have done an admirable job to date. The exquisite, citrus-colored Orange diamond offered here is no exception. Many of these diamonds come from India, and I think astute cutters, brokers, and collectors are catching on to the fact that these are much rarer diamonds than most realize. It must be one of my proclivities at this stage in life, but any gem that reminds me of food seems to attract my attention. This Yellow-ORANGE diamond is very well cut, eye-clean by a wide margin, and richly colored in a very vivid orangey/orange coloration that is evenly distributed throughout the crystalline structure. The yellow tonal influence is less than 30% of total color presentation.
S. Hofer Grading included!	WCM173 - $10,500 3.15 carat Trillion cut DARK Orangey Brown, Knock-out Cognac! SI1
SOLD
Can you see the Orange facet flashes in this beautiful gem?! We believe many of the Brown diamonds available today are under-priced in relation to other colors, and we are going out of our way to find color combinations with this hue that will please many an eye for many a year. And offer excellent appreciation potential to boot.
GIA Report	WCM221 - $186,500 1.00 carat Radiant Cut, Rounded Corners, Fancy VIVID BLUE, VS2
SOLD
An exceedingly rare VIVID BLUE DIAMOND! While the symmetry of the cut had to be compromised to some degree by the cutter to retain both carat weight and color saturation (VIVID!), all other technical aspects of the resultant Azure Blue diamond are right on target. Since the diamond is very clean with a Clarity of VS2 (Very Slightly Included, Level 2), the proportionality of the gem becomes a non-issue, especially in light of the knock-out BLUE coloration. What is an issue for the prospective buyer of this gem is an asking price well-below market value of $220,000 to $250,000 per carat for a clean Vivid Blue diamond. And there is always a premium for One Carat plus in weight for a fancy colored diamond which is only partially reflected in the pricing of this gem. I have had only 3 Vivid Blue diamonds to sell in the last 3 years (and certainly none at one carat plus), so take advantage of this rare opportunity to buy a Pure Blue diamond of stunningly vivid saturation.
