Someone asked if I knew what the preferred colour of fancies was. I can't recall who and it may not have been on this thread so who ever it was, I appologize. However, I found this which may be of interest: google.com [PDF] Diamonds File Format: PDF/Adobe Acrobat - View as HTML ... dia- monds are preferred to natural industrial ... present in a diamond.

The colour grade is a measure of the amount of colour present in a diamond. Most diamonds have a tinge of some colour (most often yellow or brown). Strong (intense)-coloured diamonds called “fancies” command very high prices. Among the fancies, the browns (cognac) are the most common, followed by champagne and intense canary yellow. Orange and yellowish greens are rare; pink, blue, and dark green are the rarest colours and command the highest prices. Table 6 on pg. 14 has a coloured diamond price matrix. Two examples in this table are: 20.17 carrats Emerald cut Blue colour VS2 clarity $490,952 US per carrat 4.72 carrats Rectangular cut Pink colour VS1 clarity $140,400 per carrat It should be noted that this NRCan report is dated 1994. This link is very informative and colourful: 24carat.co.uk This link has an interesting reference to the ratio of mined fancies to clear goods. You can appreciate the value implications. diamondex.net Regards Vaughn
