Similar to gold, both white diamonds and natural fancy colored diamonds have experienced drastic price increases over the span of a few years.
Imagine, natural fancy colored diamonds were formed billions of years ago and only recently have come to the earth’s surface for the world to see. In fact, not so long ago they were disregarded as geological oddities. Today, some natural fancy colored diamonds are considered the most concentrated form of wealth on the planet.Literally for every 10,000 carats of colorless diamonds mined, 1 carat colored diamond is found. Natural fancy colored diamonds are so rare and remarkable that they account for 1% of all diamonds mined today.
Renowned for their scintillating colors from Champagne, to Silver, to Pink, Blue, Purple, Violet, Yellow, Red Orange, Black, Green and more, some colors are so rare that they go directly from mines to auction houses such.
“This is going to give the male demographic a whole new incentive to buying a big beautiful sparkling diamond engagement…investment.”
For every 112 Picassos offered at auction, 1 blue diamond is sold. Due to their increasing rarity, natural fancy colored diamonds have never in the history of recorded time been poised to appreciate more.The following are recent world record sales from Sotheby’s Hong Kong Magnificent Jewels Sale Oct. 5th, 2011:
