Fancy colour diamonds — specialized B2B supply
Natural fancy color diamonds represent less than 1% of world production and are among the rarest and most valuable gemstones in existence. Unlike white diamonds where color is considered a defect, fancy color diamonds derive their value from the intensity and rarity of their natural tint.
The most sought-after shades are pink (Australian Argyle), blue (Cullinan mines), green and red — the latter being the rarest with only a few dozen carats recorded worldwide. Fancy yellow diamonds are the most accessible and often represent the entry point for fancy colors in jewelry stores.
Fancy color diamond pricing follows a different grid from white diamonds: color intensity (Faint, Very Light, Light, Fancy Light, Fancy, Fancy Intense, Fancy Vivid, Fancy Deep) takes precedence over clarity. A Fancy Vivid Yellow of a few millimeters can be worth more than a D FL white of the same carat. Pimento Diamonds has a network of specialized fancy color suppliers to meet the specific requests of your clients.
