Fancy Colored Diamonds: Valuation in a Niche Market
Fancy Colored Diamonds: Valuation in a Niche Market

While colorless diamonds are valued on a standardized price list (Rapaport), Fancy Colored Diamonds operate in a tier of their own. The recent closure of the Argyle mine has permanently altered the supply landscape for pink and red diamonds, turning them into some of the most dense forms of wealth on the planet.

Understanding the “Fancy” Premium

Valuing these stones requires a higher level of gemological expertise. A slight variation in saturation—from “Fancy Light” to “Fancy Intense”—can double the value of a stone. Furthermore, the secondary hue (e.g., a “purplish-pink” vs. a “brownish-pink”) drastically affects market desirability.

Our Expertise

At Beverly Loan Company, our gemologists are trained to recognize these subtleties. We understand that a Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond is not just a piece of jewelry; it is a rare geological event. We base our loan offers on recent auction results from Sotheby’s and Christie’s, ensuring that you receive a valuation that reflects the global demand for these assets.

Whether you possess a vivid yellow Zimmerli or a rare pink solitaire, we provide loans commensurate with their rarity, offering a liquidity solution that traditional jewelers or pawn shops simply cannot match.
