Certified Fancy Colored Diamonds from WCM at 30% Below Negotiated Retail


 


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.

D.W. Young, President, Wexford Capital Mgmt.

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.

VIVID Orangey Yellow 3.15 carat Radiant Cushion Cut SI2 Colored Diamond


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.

Fancy DARK GREEN-Gray 0.73 carat Oval Cut SI2 GIA-certified Colored Diamond

 
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. 

Fancy INTENSE Pinkish  PURPLE 0.57 carat Pear Cut SI3 Colored 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.

VIVID GREEN BLUE 0.24 carat Radiant Cut VS1 GIA-certified Colored 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.

Back in 2003, I had discussions with many 20- to 30-year veterans in the colored diamond trade and came to the conclusion that COGNAC colored diamonds were an undervalued segment of this already very rare class of diamond.  Beginning in 2009, the scarcity of these gems and subsequent pressure on pricing, proved my assertions correct.  I have been placing these Orange flavored gems in client collections and portfolios ever since, and the results have been very satisfactory to all concerned.  Images of colored diamonds taken suspended between tweezers thongs are very revealing as to depth of color.  The pavilion section of the diamond is flooded with light, and the table view shows how much color and what hues are really present in the diamond. This is truly a predominantly ORANGE diamond, and with such a modest price for a One-Carat plus specimen, a budding or seasoned investor would find this increasingly rare gem an Autumnal addition of note.  Would make a stunning center stone for a high-end man's or woman's ring.

Fancy BLUE Gray 0.47 carat Oval cut SI2 GIA-certified Colored Diamond
 

 
What a mosaic of BLUE hues come rushing through the table and crown areas of this very collectible natural colored diamond. Starting almost 2 years ago, I identified Gray and Grayish diamonds as another segment of the colored diamond market that was grossly undervalued and have been concentrating sourcing in this area ever since.  When the  overcast sky neutral color of Gray is mixed with such very rare colors as Blue, Green, Pink, and Violet, the rarity of the gem ascends to new levels in the marketplace.  A very BLUE diamond with incredible depth of color that suggests a "Sea" or "Blueberry" Blue moniker with an accurately tagged "hint of Gray".   And an affordable Blue specimen of definitely collectible size, close to 20 points.  Many of the colored diamonds in my personal collection are at this diamond's carat size range.  Try pricing any sized Fancy Blue diamond in today's colored diamond market with very strong buyers in Asia, and you will need Tim Geithner's U.S. Treasury checkbook to do so!  Won't last very long at this price. Mini-Hope Diamond with an exceptional Clarity level of VS1.

Marquise Cut 
Fancy BLUE-Gray
SI2, totally eye-clean



 

 
There is decidedly a strong Blue coloration to this diamond, hence, the GIA color description of BLUE-Gray where the secondary component of "Steel Blue" represents some 30% of overall color.  Reminds me of the color of freshly annealed steel just after forging on the blacksmith's hearth.  While this diamond is technically labeled a Gray Diamond, one could state that the gem has almost a 50% contribution from the Blue region of the spectrum based on the revealing tweezers shot above.  For a Fancy level of color saturation, the presence of Gray in this diamond provides more depth of color than one would normally expect.  Very nice cut, very nice size at almost a Half Carat, totally Eye-Clean, and a Gray diamond with more Blue within than normally found in this color combination.  Need I say more?!

ASSCHER Cut

VVS1, super clean.


Fancy VIVID YELLOW 2.11 carat Asscher Cut VVS1 GIA-certified Colored Diamond
 

 
Outstanding CANARY YELLOW diamond in one of the most magnificent cuts, the ASSCHER or Square Emerald cut.  The large, mirror-like facets created by this bold cut require that the colored diamond be very clean both internally and on the surfaces ......... AND THIS RICHLY SATURATED YELLOW MEETS THAT CHALLENGE WITH A VVS1, almost Flawless, CLARITY!  While clarity is not the primary governing characteristic in making a colored diamond purchase decision, it certainly increases the value and appeal of a Vivid Yellow diamond with an Asscher facet pattern.  At a well-priced $27,000 per carat, this Saffron diamond could easily find its way into a one-of-a-kind piece of Tiffany's-style jewelry or just stay snuggly in the vault for periodic viewings.  In any case, this combination of highly saturated color, superb cutting, and almost flawless clarity put this Canary Yellow diamond in a class by itself.  Great way to get money out of an over-priced stock market or a failing U.S. financial system.

Fancy INTENSE BLUE 0.67 carat Pear Cut VS1 GIA-certified Colored Diamond
 

 
This Pure BLUE diamond has such a depth of color saturation that it mimics some Vivid Blue diamonds that I have seen.  Prices for Blue diamonds of any color class have been going through the roof since early 2009 as investors flee Dollars en masse and convert from financial assets to tangible assets that no one can debase.  This Intense Blue is only $140,000 per carat when I have seen them regularly for $200,000 to $270,000 per carat at this color level and carat weight.  Very popular with Asian investors and collectors, and they certainly have no shortage of U.S. Dollars to spend on tangible assets.  A Stephen Hofer Colored Diamond Report is provided with this diamond in addition to the GIA certificate in order to give the new owner as much information and education about this Intense Blue diamond and the world of Blue diamonds.  Very informative reading in each and every case.  Cutter did an excellent job of concentrating the emission of deep blue colors into the table region of the cut with still ample saturation coming off-axis from the well-made crown areas.  Work of art.  This Sea Ice diamond is toward the pinnacle of rarity in this asset class.
