FANCY + FABULOUS
BY ANNIE DAVIDSON
W hen it comes to color, nothing shines as brilliantly as a fancy-colored diamond. Faceted diamonds reflect more light — called brilliance — than any other gem, because they are harder than any other gemstone. A colored diamond is like a neon light. The intense color is absolutely stunning. This year, they are showing up on red carpets, in engagement rings, and in very special pieces of fashion jewelry. Color in diamonds is a rare occurrence, which adds to their mystique. For every colored diamond found, there are at least 10,000 colorless ones. Pinks, blues, and greens are the rarest. Pinks are especially prized, sometimes commanding prices of up to $400,000 per carat — 20-times the price of equivalent white diamonds, due to rarity and market demand. The most readily available and accessible natural- colored diamonds are champagnes, cognacs, and yellows. They’re rare, but they’re out there, and they have the power to add a dose of maximum brilliance to your jewelry wardrobe, no matter where it takes you. F ancy DIAMONDS
