FANCY DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RINGS

Fancy Diamond FAQs
What are the most popular colours for coloured diamond Engagement Rings?

The most popular diamond colours are yellow, pink and brown. Yellow diamonds, known for their sunny warmth, are often more affordable compared to other fancy colours. Pink diamonds, thanks to their romantic hue, have become incredibly desirable, with celebrities frequently choosing them, however due to their rarity they can be very costly. Brown and Cognac diamonds have become popular because of their rich tones complementing yellow gold so well, as well as the fact they are the most affordable of fancy coloured diamonds.
How do coloured diamonds compare to white diamonds in value?

Fancy coloured diamonds tend to be rarer than white diamonds, which often increases their value. While a white diamond’s value is based on absence of colour and clarity, fancy coloured diamonds are valued primarily for the intensity of their colour. For example, pink, blue, and red diamonds can be significantly more expensive than their white counterparts due to their rarity. Yellow and brown diamonds, being more abundant, can offer a great balance of beauty and affordability. Keep in mind that the deeper and more vibrant the colour, the more valuable the diamond tends to be.
Are coloured diamond Engagement Rings durable enough for everyday wear?

Absolutely! Like white diamonds, coloured diamonds rank a 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, making them incredibly durable and scratch-resistant. This durability makes them perfect for an engagement ring that will be worn every day.

What should I look for in a yellow diamond Engagement Ring?

When choosing a yellow diamond, focus on the intensity of the colour. The colour you choose should. be based on the colour that you love the most. Some people love a rich deep yellow, whilst others prefer a subtle yellow tone.
Yellow diamonds are graded from "Fancy Light" to "Fancy Vivid," with the latter being the most vibrant and valuable. Fancy Vivid yellow diamonds will give you the boldest, richest hue. Consider the setting too—yellow diamonds look stunning in yellow gold, which enhances the warmth of the stone, while platinum or white gold settings can create a modern contrast.

How rare are fancy coloured diamonds?

Fancy coloured diamonds are significantly rarer than white diamonds, with some colours being exceptionally rare.
Red diamonds are the rarest and can fetch astronomical prices due to their extreme scarcity. Pink and blue diamonds are also rare and highly sought after, often selling for much higher prices than white diamonds. Yellow diamonds, while still rarer than white, are the most abundant of the fancy colours, making them more accessible. Because of their rarity, fancy coloured diamonds often become valuable collector's items and long-term investments.
Are coloured diamonds natural or treated?

Coloured diamonds can be either natural or treated. Natural coloured diamonds are created over millions of years through unique geological conditions, and these stones are the most valuable. However, some diamonds undergo treatments, such as heat or irradiation, to enhance or change their colour. These treated diamonds are more affordable but should always be disclosed by your jeweller. All of my coloured diamonds are natural, unless a client specifically requests a treated diamond. One colour that is often treated is blue diamonds, because of the rarity of natural blue stones. If you’re looking for a natural fancy coloured diamond, it’s important to ask for certification from a trusted gemological laboratory like GIA to verify the diamond’s authenticity and natural origin.
Can I customise a fancy coloured diamond Engagement Ring?

Yes, fancy coloured diamonds are perfect for custom designs. You can personalise every aspect of your bespoke engagement ring, from the colour and cut of the diamond to the metal type and setting. For example, a yellow diamond in a halo setting with smaller white diamonds can create a striking contrast, while a pink diamond in rose gold brings out the warm tones of the stone. Working with a jeweller like Poppy Elder Fine Jewellery allows you to design a completely bespoke piece that reflects your personal style.
How do fancy coloured diamonds hold their value over time?

Fancy coloured diamonds, particularly rare colours like pink, blue, and red, tend to hold or even increase in value over time. Because of their rarity and desirability, these diamonds often become more valuable, especially when they are of high quality and come with certification. Yellow diamonds, while more abundant, can also appreciate in value, particularly if they are in the "Fancy Intense" or "Fancy Vivid" range. Investing in a fancy coloured diamond can be a wise financial choice as well as a stunning jewellery option.
How do I choose between different shades of coloured diamonds?

Choosing the right shade depends on personal preference and the overall look you want to achieve. For example, Fancy Light yellow diamonds offer a subtle, delicate hue, while Fancy Vivid diamonds provide intense colour that makes a bold statement. Consider how the diamond will look with the setting and metal type, as some colours are enhanced by certain settings. Whether you want a soft, romantic pink or a vibrant, eye-catching blue, there's a coloured diamond to match your vision.
