I first learned of fancy color diamonds years ago by stumbling upon a couple websites online that showed pictures of diamonds that had color.

It took me months of research to realize the treated versus the untreated natural fancy color diamonds but after some time, anyone can have the eye to discern an untreated by looking for certain characteristics in each stone.

Needless to say, I was hooked. I spent A LOT of time and money researching rare fancy color diamonds and aligning myself with suppliers, typically oversees, and building relationships with them.

Anyway, there came a time when collecting fancy color diamonds took a top priority in my life more than other things that really deserved to be. So, with that said, I have decided to list some of my very finest fancy diamonds and sell them off at this time and focus on other priorities.

If you're a collector, you can see by the pics above that I have amassed quite a fantastic collection of fancies.

If you feel more comfortable, and we have worked out a deal, I would be happy to list the stone on ebay according to our specifications, to ensure a comfortable and safe transaction for the both of us.

Looking forward to hearing from you with any questions you may have.

It has been quite a few years since I first stumbled upon images online of colored diamonds. I can still remember when I first learned that pink diamonds existed and were completely natural straight from the earth.

Since then, I have delegated a large portion of my last few years to gather and decipher the many facets of collecting, researching and even selling these highly addictive stones.

I am an avid internet user and frequent the net every day. What has shocked me in the last year has been the HUGE amount of available fancy color diamond inventory coming in from Thailand, India and Israel.

Now, any one can easily go on Ebay or Google and find rare, untreated colored diamonds for a fraction of what you'd have to pay for even just a few years ago!

I have to tell you that once you get started collecting, it can be almost impossible to stop as a fancy color diamond far out-sparkles any other stone on earth and is far stronger as well. When you couple that with intense distribution of color, suddenly you are holding something that will mesmerize even the most uninterested stone enthusiast.

Fancy Green Diamonds:

Fancy green diamonds are not widely known in America these days. You can find this out too by just asking someone and they'll say, "a green diamond?"

Fancy green diamonds are my absolute favorite and are created naturally by the earth's radiation over thousands of years. Very few and far between, these stones command a seat as the 2nd rarest color of diamond on the planet neck-to-neck with purple.

I have been collecting many green diamonds since I begin my life-long venture of diamond collecting years ago. Green diamonds are the #1 fancy color that have SO many variations of "green" color. You have the grey-green, yellowish-green, yellow-green, brownish-green, blue-green, bluish-green...

The two most rare and expensive are the Fancy Green and Fancy Blue-Green/Bluish-Green. These stones can easily reach 100-200K a carat depending on their variables.

Green diamonds are the most difficult for a lab, even the GIA, to grade and determine of natural origin. This is because artificial/enhanced/irradiated green diamonds take a similair course to artificially attain the green color.

With that being said, it is very easy for a fancy diamond expert to determine a natural green diamond versus an enhanced as a natural has a crisp green color that artificially can't be re-created.

Fancy Pink Diamonds

These were the color of choice when I first began my collection wherein I purchased three fancy light pinks at a very high price and all under .50 carats.

It was during the period of time when word was out that the Argyles mine in Australia was tapped out and the miners were considering closing the mine altogether.

Little did they know about the caverns and pipes that lay below crusted with fancy purples, pinks and even reds. They soon found out and since then pinks have become more commonplace than they'd like you to believe.

I find the pink diamonds to be very feminine and lady-like - which obviously makes them a great specimen to give to a loved one. You'll find the avid collector has a couple whoppers of these but typically will dare not wear one due to it being considered a "women's" colored diamond.

Fancy pink diamonds come in a range of color variations, most common being brown or brownish pink. These are still nice stones but the value and demand plummet considerably compared to a pure pink. Purplish, purple and red can also be found in traits of the more rare and sought after pinks. These command seriously high prices, even ones .25+ carats.

In my humblest of opinions, next to yellow, pinks are the second most recognizable color of diamonds the at least the American public is currently somewhat aware of. Even though they may not be the rarest, more people tend to understand they exist therefore the demand is there and thus the price.

Fancy Purple Diamonds

I have a lot of things to discuss when it comes to purple diamonds. These are my second favorite color of diamonds aside from Green.

Purple has long been the color of royalty and symbol of wealth and I believe this status continues and in fact is at its' highest degree when one sees a purple diamond in person.

It is very uncommon to get a GIA graded purple that doesn't have any underlying tones of brownish or greyish or especially PINK. When one does, it is something to get very excited about. Pure purples are so rare these days, I find even my top sellers/collectors overseas can't even touch one let alone see one over .25 carats on average. When you get past the .50 the prices skyrocket astronomically.

If you can't get your hands on a pure fancy purple (I completely understand), try to get a purple-pink as these are more common and still exhibit a strong purplish tone to the diamond.

Purple diamonds typically will have small carbon spots or inclusions called boron. This is much how a purple gets its' color. It's not as usual to see carbon inclusions in purples as it is to see boron. Blue diamonds also have stong boron elements which help lead to their color as well.

Purple diamonds are mostly found in Australia but have also been collected in India and Africa. When considering a stone for investment, consider purples your best option currently as reds, greens and blues are more expensive and if you look hard enough you can probably find one at a decent price. Make sure to always buy a purple, or really any fancy, with a GIA or IGI grading report showing it's of natural origin.

Fancy Blue Diamonds

When people say they've found someone willing to sell them a blue diamond off Ebay or on the internet for less than $5,000, I tend to crack a grin and pat them on the back. Why? Because deals like that don't exist in 2007 unfortunately.

I can still remember just a FEW YEARS AGO that you could get a .50 fancy blue diamond for under 10k. You're lucky to get a grey-blue .35+ for $10,000 nowadays.

You may ask, "why is this the case?" The answer is very simple: natural fancy blue diamonds may not be the most rare (currently #4 on the list of most rare) BUT they are what most people consider the most beautiful color of the fancies out there.

Collectors especially have gobbled up all the rough and cut blues for years now. This has only helped the few blues that make it through their net demand six figure prices without a blink of an eye. Investors as well have been right there too, taking out loans, selling their homes, cars, jewelry...etc. just to get a fancy or better yet, intense or vivid blue.

When one has a blue diamond, one doesn't plan on selling that diamond unless they're a seller and know where to get more inventory at a decent price still.

Everyone talks about the Hope diamond, you wanna hear my take? OLD NEWS! So what. It's a huge blue diamond sitting in a case and that's the end of the story.

Blue diamonds are averaging over 100K a carat just for a fancy blue. When you get to the intense or vivid, you're easily talking about double.

For us meager folks who don't have a budget like that to blow on a blue, be lucky if you can get even a .25 carat of decent clarity with a GIA report. I am sure by the time people read this, the prices have gone up for blues.

Fancy blue diamonds have been wildly popular for hundreds of years now. They first were mined extensively in India and then some in Africa and occasionally other parts of the world like Brazil and Australia. Back in the day, people beleived blue diamonds could help cure illness and actually would swallow these stones thinking they were a cure.

Fancy Red Diamonds

Yes they do exist and supposedly GIA has only documented around 20 true reds since they began grading fancy color diamonds.

Natural fancy reds are typically found in Australia but don't forget the Moussaieff HUGE red that was found by a Brazilian farmer in the mid 90's. Boy, you wanna talk about a good find he made?

Red diamonds for a long time commanded the top in terms of price per carat. That was shattered recently though by the record-setting blue diamond purchase.

They are by far the rarest of the colored diamonds. Don't be confused by sellers on Ebay offering red diamonds that have brownish or cognac traits. Those are not red diamonds, merely cognac or brown/orange diamonds that exhibit a small amount of reddish tone. True red diamonds are red or can also have purplish and pink traits too along with brown.

You can still find these stones on the market today but usually they'll have a modifying color of brown or purple. Obviously a brownish or brown-red will get a much lower price than a purple or purplish-red. You rarely see these stones that are for sale over .50 carats.

Once again, collectors and investors have hoarded these rare beauties away and let them quickly appreciate as most of America stands unaware they even exist.

GIA only when it comes to buying a red and this is the type of diamond you fly out in person to view before purchasing.

Fancy Orange Diamonds

I was like most people from a buyer standpoint when I first started collecting orange diamonds. I liked them for their vibrant color not necessarily how rare they were on the list of fancy color diamonds.

What I didn't know but what I do know now is that orange diamonds, PURE ORANGE that is, can command a higher price tag than blue or green! This is quite simply because it is VERY uncommon to find an orange diamond without a yellow or brown tone within it. In fact, most "orange diamonds" that people say are orange are actually orangish-yellow or orange-yellow.

As I've said before, when you then add a pure orange with intense or vivid application, you're talking about an investment stone that most collectors and investors (up until recently) would pass on for a blue or green thinking they made the right move. In most cases they didn't though.

Orange diamonds are fascinating because of their brilliance and color - if you have a collection of varying colors, you'll find the orange sticks out from the rest.

Fancy Deep Green and Vivid Blue-Green or Teal Rough

I have learned over the years to always be on the lookout for the rare and desireable fancy diamonds. I pride myself in always being prepared to make a buy at the drop of a hat when I know it's a deal I can't pass up.

As I mentioned in the Blue and Green Fancy Diamonds section, these stones are few and far between so to even be able to find rough in this color is extremely difficult nowadays.

Fancy diamond rough is truly fascinating and a fun secondary collectible to the polished and cut final stone. One thing to keep in mind with a fancy rough is you're luck to get even half the carat weight of the diamond after cutting. This can pose a big concern if you're buying rough smaller than .50 carats.

If and when you're thinking about having a cutter design your diamond from rough, also keep in mind that you'll need different levels of skill based on the color of your fancy diamond. Blue, green, red and purple diamonds require a cutter with vast experience and knowledge to get the maximum weight after cutting and secondly maximum brilliance of the stone while excluding any negative attributes to the diamond (boron carbon, fracture inclusions, graining...).

In the pic supplied are some seriously RARE fancy teal green, vivid green and blue diamond rough.

As mentioned above, true green diamonds are my absolute favorite of the fancies. So it wouldn't surprise you that I have been investing heavily in the green diamond rough category as well.

As my understanding of green diamonds, cut that is, expands, my knowledge and expectations of true fancy green rough is likewise. After reading in resources like wikipedia and GIA.edu, I've found that green diamond rough is the #1 most tricky when it comes to what to expect in color and saturation after cutting.

This is due to the fact that natural green diamonds are exposed to consistant radiation for millions of years. This radiation can form a "skin" or coating around the entire diamond and make it appear as if the entire stone is green. When cut or polished, the thin layer is removed leaving a white diamond underneath.

In my own collection of fancy green rough that ranges from light green to deep green, I see the greens that are more of a fancy green tend to be clear and have color in the corners of the stone when viewed. No skin seems apparent in these. When I look at my collection of deep greens, the color is much richer and therefore appears to create a skin at least on some of the stones. Fancy deep green diamonds are VERY rare, more rare than fancy green. So I am in no rush to get them cut and find out the answer...at least for now.

I do have one fancy deep green that is not the typical round polished look, more of a "broken" rough that shows the deep green fully saturated. You can see it in the bottom left of the pic above this one. In my research so far, I have yet to determine which shade of green is most consistant to have the skin coating.

I believe this skin coating to be blown out of proportion as I am a constant on ebay and see many, many greens in every color that are saturated - they're not the high quality greens though. If you have input, write me please!

Fancy Chameleon Diamonds

These diamonds have long been sought by mostly collector's and until recently most of people weren't even aware they exist.

Typically a wine bottle green or greyish green, chameleon diamonds are very exciting because their chemical properties enable their color to change based on heat or light exposure. When they're left alone in the dark or cold, their resting color is many different shaded of green. When they are heated or exposed to strong lighting, their color changes to yellow or orange and will remain that color until put back in the dark or cooled.

Many other gemstones have the capability of color change, such as alexandrite, sapphire and even garnet. What makes chameleon diamonds special is due to their brilliance, hardness and color saturation... also the fact that they're diamonds and the others are just common gemstones.

Fancy chameleon diamonds are quite expensive due to their rarity and also high demand. Over the years I have been able to view, purchase and collect these stones and consider them some of my favorite because they add an extra dimension to the fancy color diamond.

In the pic supplied is a .30 VS lime-green to red-orange chameleon diamond. A truly remarkable color combo and my favorite chameleon to date.

*** I have learned recently this is a very rare "reverse color change" chameleon diamond as it's normal resting color is a deep orange which turns to a vivid green-yellow when exposed to heat or sunlight. ***

I have always understood chameleon diamonds as being a "dark greyish-yellow green" or close to that type of color variation where the diamond appears to be the color of a wine bottle green. That said, as you can see above, there is also the reverse-color-change-chameleons that are orange and then turn yellow green.

That until recently was where I thought chameleons stopped. It was very rare to find a chameleon that had a kiwi green color even. In the picture supplied, you can see a 1.17 i1 fancy green chameleon that has the exact color of a fancy green diamond. It changes to a deep yellow color. To find a chameleon in this color tone is a first for me as I mistook it for a fancy green!

There are no references to chameleons being this color so I am excited to say this is a very special stone! More to come soon.

Not too much is known or discussed about these rare diamonds, currently being imported in small numbers typically from Thailand.

Lot's of times these diamonds have a blue or bluish hue to them which causes suppliers to state they are "fancy very light blue diamonds". In my opinion, these are in no way blue diamonds, more of a white diamond that has a milky blue hue.

I've also seen in rare instances these diamonds can have a pink hue as well. I visited one website that called them an odd name and unfortunately at this time can't recall where to look up that website to find the name.

Needless to say, these are very rare diamonds and thus their price should reflect. I am not sure what GIA would classify these particular stones as but in no way are they treated.

Lot's of times, these diamonds are very included with fracture inclusions and boron carbon. They could be a hybrid white that has been exposed to certain other elements to obtain a modifying color hue. More information to come on these as I continue my research.
