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 diamonds@wexfordcoin.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.

Fancy Bluish GREEN,

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.

VIVID Yellow ORANGE

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.

Body Color Imaging under natural light, decidedly Deep Pink

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.

Deep Brown Yellow
VS2 

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.

I1, some visible inclusions, so what?! 

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.

Fancy Brownish Orangey PINK
S I1, 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.

VIVID PINK

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 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.

REDDISH Brown
SI1 

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 known 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.

DEEP Brownish Orangey PINK
SI1 

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 Pink diamonds that I have seen.  What cutter would take 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.

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!

Deep Orange
SI1 

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.

Another very, very rare Fancy Colored Diamond for your consideration!  The cut of this exceedingly Blue diamond is rare in itself, Round Brilliant cut with dimensions very close to traditional proportions.  This "Sky Blue" diamond has been in an estate for many a year, and the diamond was only recently graded by GIA.  There are definitely some hints of Intense Blue within this well-made gem, but suffice it to say that this is a high-level Fancy at a minimum.  One of the top 5 most rare colors in diamond, a Pure Blue specimen that carries a 3/4 Plus carat weight to add to its long list of top-draw, very collectible qualities.  A total dearth of Pure Blue diamonds on the market today, and this fine example is priced at less than $110,000 a carat, some 35% below market.  Very clean gem with a soothing, "cool" color that speaks volumes as to its intrinsic value.

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.

Comparing Pink diamonds side-by-side is very instructive in colored diamond collecting, because there are distinctly various nuances of "Pink" presented by these magnificently cut gems.  This diamond has a deeper, richer level of Pink than other Intense Pink diamonds, possibly due to some characteristics of the Deep level of color grade being present in the gem.  Different light "temperatures" and illumination strengths will change the perceived color depth of any colored diamond held in one's hand, and this very rare Pink diamond is no exception to this phenomenon.  There is no presence of brown in this purely Pink diamond, and the fact that no Orangey or Purplish modifiers exist either places the well-made diamond in a category of its own ...... extremely rare as an Argyle-sourced Pink and pure of single color.  True collector's fancy colored diamond at a very modest price per carat.

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.

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.

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.

VS1, very rare clarity grade for a Large Purple! 

 
This predominantly PURPLE diamond presents itself to the trained eye more as a Fancy Purple diamond than as a Light Purple.  Most Purple diamonds, many from Russia, have a Pinkish modifier to them, but this is a very, very Purple diamond with a modicum of pinkish hues.  And one of the most rare colors on the planet, almost as rare as the vaulted Red diamond that also is usually heavily included in clarity.  A VS1 Clarity grade is almost unheard of in a predominantly Purple diamond, so this example of Nature's Carbonic Art is very rare on two counts.  Better make that 3x counts:  To find a Purple diamond in excess of TWO CARATS places this diamond on the Ultra-Rarity Scale for fancy colored diamonds.  $68,000 per carat is hardly expensive for a LARGE PURPLE diamond of exceptional Clarity; I have seen large Purples priced in the $100,000 per carat area for diamonds with this much color saturation.  TRUE COLLECTOR'S GEM.
