There''s been a lot of talk about fancy colored diamonds lately, so I thought I''d open a new thread. I bought all of these around 10 to 15 years ago, before fancies became so outrageously popular, so I was lucky I guess in that respect. I always liked colored diamonds more than white ones, and they were a bargain back then, even for pinks.
Here are my fancies. I know I showed a picture of them in my fancy brown diamond thread, but that picture was taken in dim white light. Here''s another under hallogen light, and they seem to sparkle like crazy.
From bottom up.
Two .20 pointer pinks (about 4mm each)
One Salmon colored .8 pointer (around 6mm)
One 5mm 1/2 carat brownish pink (I really don''t know the true color of this stone, but after browsing all the colored diamond websites, I think it''s a brownish pink, the body of the stone looks way more pink than brown)
Two lemony yellows at a half carat each
One orangish brown square step cut that I think is about .30 points
One 1.25 ( or 1.75 - I need to get it weighed) fancy yellowish brown
One 20 pointer pinkish brown (this diamond looks very purpley pink in some lights)
The Salmon diamond looked purple in the hallogens. I never really took notice before since these sat in a box for the longest time. My husband even said so, and he could care less about my gemstone hobby and he doesn''t know a purple diamond from squat.
Well, I know I have to get these all set. Maybe I''ll do one long linear pendant, we''ll see. I really do think out of all of these, the most important is the fourth one from the bottom, the pinkish half carat, so I''m working on a ring project. Thanks for looking!!

It definitely emits a different spectrum of color vs. the other two G colored OEC's. Sorry the pics aren't the best, I will have to try for some better one's later.
