4. The best and most beautiful investment - Natural fancy color diamonds
Diamonds sparkling with intense color are of great beauty and rarity. These rare gems are called natural fancy color diamonds. Natural fancy color diamonds constitute only 1% of mined diamonds. These rare diamonds have always proven to be a substantial asset.
The fancy color ranges from fancy Light to fancy, fancy intense, fancy deep and fancy vivid. While fancy yellow is more common, fancy colored diamonds can and do appear in every possible color: pink, blue, green, brown, orange, and, very rarely, red. These diamonds are incredibly rare and valuable.
Pink and blue natural fancy color diamonds' prices have increased so substantially that they are out of reach for most consumers. A high quality pink or blue fancy color diamond has increased from $10,000.00 a carat in 1970 to $400,000.00 a carat today. Fancy Color Diamonds have never decreased in price on a wholesale level in 35 year.
