I’m excited to kick off our Fancy Color Daily Diamond Recommendation today with a truly beautiful stone. As I mentioned in the introduction above about Fancy Color diamonds, the trick to getting an affordable fancy color diamond is using the rules of fancy color diamond pricing in your favor. Today’s diamond is a great example of this. A one carat Fancy Pink GIA certified diamond would go for about $50,000. But because the stone has an Orange modifying color, the price drops significantly. Of course, the primary color is still pink, so the diamond is quite expensive, but it’s still much more affordable than a straight pink would go for.
Here’s the Stats (or Click Here for a Copy of the GIA Certificate):
1.08 Carat Fancy Orangy-Pink
Carats: 1.08
Diamond Shape: Cushion Modified Brilliant
Diamond Color: Natural Fancy Orangy Pink
Diamond Clarity: SI1
Measurements: 6.74 X 4.77 X 3.75
Diamond Polish: Good
Diamond Symmetry: Good
Diamond Fluorescence: None
Diamond Price: $30,250
As you might know by now, I love hearing from my readers. One of the most common comments I get from people shopping for engagement rings is that their overriding concern is that they want to buy something unique. Usually, this takes the form of asking about less common shapes (I just got an email from a reader wanting to buy a trilliant shape for a solitaire engagement ring!) or asking about the most unique ring designs.
Most people don’t realize that the best way to buy something utterly unique is to buy a fancy color diamond. I say utterly unique because you’d be hard pressed to ever find two fancy color diamonds anywhere that are identical. Let alone the fact that you probably won’t ever find another person wearing a fancy color diamond ring. I think most people don’t realize that fancy color diamonds are a great option simply because they either aren’t aware at all about fancy color diamonds, or because they didn’t realize that you can buy many beautiful fancy color diamonds (especially yellow diamonds) for pretty much the same price as you would a high quality white diamond of the same size.
