Colored Diamonds
These extraordinary gems are known as "Fancy Colored Diamonds". If you did not know that diamonds came in colors, they do and are very rare. Only 1% of the diamonds mined are naturally colored diamonds. The two most famous diamonds in the world are colored diamonds. The Tiffany Diamond is a magnificant Fancy Yellow, 128.54 carat diamond and the Hope Diamond is a stunning blue.
Fancy Colored Diamonds have proven to be a substantial asset. Most Canadians and Americans are not even aware of the phenomenon of Fancy Colored Diamonds because most of the highly graded colored diamonds are purchased in Europe. Europeans consider colored diamonds "real estate in your pocket". They are the best form of portable wealth in the world today, and they have a stunning track record.
