was watching the movie "Titanic" as a child, the heart of the sea necklace on Rose's neck was really super charming. There was no concept at the time. I don't know how much such a big "blue diamond" cost!
In fact, this famous heart of the sea necklace in the movie is not a real blue diamond! It is a prop made by the famous "Hope Diamond" in the history of blue diamonds. However, this prop necklace in the movie is also very expensive and is made of tanzanite. Mr.
Harry Winston bought 45.52 carats of legendary diamonds and donated them to the Smithsonian Museum. When it comes to big diamonds, all major jewelry brands have some very powerful diamonds with large carats and bright and pure color. The treasure of our own town shop!
Graff colored diamonds
No, when Lady Gaga attended the Oscars ceremony a while ago, she wore Tiffany's town store treasure-the legendary yellow diamond necklace on her neck, which really won a lot without much effort.
It can be said that Tiffany has established his reputation in the yellow diamond world because of this large yellow diamond weighing 128.54 carats.
may sometimes wonder, what is the difference between yellow diamonds and ordinary diamonds? What color diamonds are there? Which color diamond is the most expensive? What is the difference between colored diamonds and colored gems?
I have already told you a lot of colored gemstones before. Today, we will learn about the world of colored diamonds together. Because the price of colored diamonds is amazing and it is not a necessity of life, it is generally difficult to reach the life of the general public. This article is more of a popular science perspective to open your eyes!
First, let's clarify the definition of diamond together. The
diamond is a crystallization of carbon from deep in the earth's surface under strong pressure and high temperature billions of years ago. With the continuous changes in the depths of the earth's crust, it was smelted in a long historical process.
colored diamond is a kind of diamond. The reason why colored diamonds can have so many colors is because they contain certain traces of specific chemical elements or the internal crystal structure is deformed during the formation of diamonds.
Generally speaking, colored diamonds are rarer and more expensive than common white diamonds.

may have been heard in the news. In recent years, colored diamonds have often been auctioned at sky-high prices at auctions, and blue diamonds and pink diamonds are especially popular. It is estimated that most people think that pink diamonds are the rarest and most expensive diamonds in the world.
I was not corrected until I attended a De Beers high-end jewelry launch event. Pink diamonds are not the rarest and most expensive diamonds! If
ranks the most popular colored diamonds according to their rarity, the order from highest to lowest is: red> orange> green> blue> pink> yellow> white.
Currently the most popular colored diamonds are ranked according to their rarity
In fact, in the world of colored diamonds, there are many other colored diamonds, but since few brands specialize in these colored diamonds, the market demand is not that big. Therefore did not participate in the ranking.
For example, brown diamonds are formed by high-pressure and high-temperature environments deep in the heart of the earth. The price of the
brown diamond is not much different from that of the white diamond. If you want a large carat colored diamond but the budget is relatively limited, the color of the brown diamond is very unique compared to the white diamond. You can consider it.
In De Beers, you can find the unique brown diamonds
gray diamonds and blue diamonds are formed for similar reasons, but also because the diamond contains boron elements and presents a unique color. The most amazing thing is that if the gray diamond itself has strong fluorescent properties, it looks like a blue diamond under strong ultraviolet light. The magical workmanship of nature is really very clever! Although
colored diamonds are diamonds, the price of the same standard colored diamonds is generally much higher than that of white diamonds. SayThere are two important factors affecting the price of colored diamonds: color and market supply and demand. The thicker the color of the
colored diamond, the higher the price. In the industry system, the color of colored diamonds is divided into five ratings:
Fancy Light, light
Fancy, color
Fancy Intense, intense color
Fancy Deep, deep color
Fancy Vivid, vivid color
How are the names of each level specified? Just add the corresponding diamond color to the five color ratings, such as yellow diamonds:
. This color system can be applied to any color diamond, except for red diamonds regardless of the color level. . Red diamonds only have the rating of red, and there is no grading of hue (regardless of fancy color and intense fancy color), because red is always either intense or brilliant.
Compared with other color diamonds, 1 carat red diamonds are very rare. Even some diamond practitioners have never had the opportunity to witness a red diamond in their lifetime.
At the De Beers event, I was fortunate to have seen a 0.46 carat red diamond with a price of 8 million yuan. I was shocked to hear this price.
I also saw two green diamonds at the event. Originally, green diamonds are very rare, and these two green diamonds still belong to the Vivid Green grade, so they are even rarer. Guess how much the two green diamonds are worth? Scare you to death!
Fancy Vivid Bluish Green
These two Fancy Vivid Green Diamonds contain boron elements and are somewhat bluish in color. They can definitely be classified as rare green diamonds. Well, the price is also very rare!
The 1.43-carat Fancy Vivid Bluish Green Fancy Vivid Bluish Green diamond is worth more than 23 million. Another 3 carat green diamond is worth more than 80 million!
Oh, by the way, I also saw a 9.5 carat Fancy Vivid Yellow graded yellow diamond at the event, the price was 21.2 million.
Everyone can compare the diamond size on the previous picture. I didn’t expect that it is also Fancy Vivid rating. A small 1.43 carat green diamond is not much different from a 9.6 carat yellow diamond! At this moment, my inner OS is 21.2 million 9.5 carat yellow diamonds.
A 9.5-carat Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond
is it particularly shocking to hear the price of such a colorful diamond? Haha, I was shocked anyway. If you have already acquired white diamonds and want to go further, how should you invest in colored diamonds? I also consulted professionals, combined with some of my own opinions, and listed the following suggestions for everyone:
Tips
The first and most important point is to feel this colored diamond with your eyes. The color of
colored diamonds is very wonderful, because in the cutting process, the color may become lighter, so most colored diamonds are cut with special shapes. So be sure to feel it with your own eyes and make sure that you really like this color and this shape.
Harry Winston pink diamond
has more yellow diamonds than other colored diamonds, and the color is very beautiful, suitable for entry-level colored diamonds. However, most of the commonly seen yellow diamonds are lighter in color, and only the yellow diamonds that reach the level of intense color or above are of collection value!
A set of yellow diamond jewelry is not realistic for ordinary people to buy. But everyone can start with a yellow diamond ring!
Among diamond high-end jewelry brands, De Beers, Harry Winston, Graff, Tiffany, CHAUMET all have a special yellow diamond collection. I have listed very representative diamond ring styles from these brands.
If you want to see yellow diamonds, from now to June 2ndDuring this time, if you happen to be going or in Shanghai again, then you can check in at the "Into Chanel" exhibition held by Chanel and feel the charm of yellow diamonds up close. There is a particularly powerful lion necklace on the exhibition, underneath the lion is a yellow diamond weighing 32 carats! It is the highest fancy vivid yellow diamond among yellow diamonds! The real thing is really shocking!
If you go further and want to invest in a large colored diamond, it is very necessary to consider: Is it from an investment perspective or a wearing perspective?
If you are wearing the angle, you can consider more artistic design and wearing effect. If it is from an investment perspective, it is recommended to buy colored diamonds purely. Relatively speaking, colored diamonds with additional colors have less investment value than pure colors. For example, if the two green diamonds mentioned above were not blue-green diamonds, but green-blue diamonds, the price would not be so sky-high.
De Beers
If you have already invested in yellow diamonds and want to go further, at this stage, you can consider investing in pink diamonds.
On the one hand, pink diamonds look very sweet and are especially popular with women. On the other hand, more than 90% of the world’s pink diamonds are produced in the Argyll mine in Australia. It is said that around 2021-2022, the Argyll mine will be closed. Therefore, the price of pink diamonds has also been rising.
Harry Winston
If you want to invest in a pink diamond, it is recommended to start with one carat, and the purer the color of the pink diamond, the better. It is best not to have other additional colors and only invest in a pure pink diamond. If pink diamonds are mixed with orange, the price is relatively much lower.

Of course, when you have a goal and want to buy a certain color of colored diamonds, maybe a certain brand of colored diamonds of this color is particularly famous.
De Beers high-end jewelry is inlaid with a large number of colored diamonds.
When it comes to buying diamonds, I particularly trust De Beers. Mainly because every De Beers diamond larger than 0.2 carats has a De Beers mark that can only be seen under a high-power microscope. This mark of
is like a diamond amulet. If you take care of the diamond, don't worry about your diamond being dropped! This is especially important for expensive colored diamonds.
Alright, today I showed you so many colored diamonds, do you think it is particularly eye-opening? Compared to girls who like to buy bags and shoes on weekdays, buying diamonds for fun is really scary!
