Actual Fancy Color diamond grading chart for free
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Natural fancy intense colored diamonds are 200.000 times more rare and expensive than white diamonds!
Impressive to know that the annual World production of white diamonds of Exceptional White + D color LC/IF is all together only a few 900 Carats!
This emphasizes the extreme rareness of natural colored diamonds. Only one very light to light colored diamond is found for every 10.000 colorless ones.
More than 80% of all colored diamonds are yellowish. Most colored diamonds have milky color, heavy piqués and are cloudy - View image
To keep the color intense, even and good distributed, a diamond needs volume, mass!
Therefor we recommend Cushion, Radiant, Pear, Heart, Oval or Asscher shapes in colored diamonds to improve its color!
A flat or pointed cut diamond will loss most of its color. The color will be cut off! Don't ask for a Princess or Trillion shaped fancy colored diamond.
You will not find or, if you will find, the color will disappoint!
Most of the larger fancy vivid colored diamonds, over one carat, found in colors such as blue, red, cognac, orange, pink and green are treated or synthetic.
