Do Brown FCDs with no modifiers exist?

[TristanC]

Hi All, does anyone know if there are brown FCDs graded by GIA as straight unmodified brown? I see deep brown, but every other brown seems to have yellow or orange or pink modifiers. And some others besides.

I've only seen a deep unmodified brown, and I was hoping to get a straight brown FCD.

All help is appreciated!

There are pure fancy browns without modifiers as graded by GIA, but as you know they are not that common. Here is one listed on ebay right now.

yes there is tristan... but why would you want a fancy brown? orange brown / orangy brown looks prettier imo... is it for a jewelry or loose collection?

I suspect pure brown diamonds are rarely see for sale not because the earth does not provide them, rather because there is low demand in the market.

Maybe most brown diamonds end up on drill bits.

Ah... looking at that photo i can imagine the low demand.

I was thinking of picking up a number of loose FCDs all unmodified, and brown being the cheapest was an easy entry point.

Though i hope there are prettier examples. Yellowish and orangy browns are present in abundance though. I was asking because I've never seen a straight up brown stone.
