When I was serving the internet, I came across the following fancy deep pink diamonds which are listed in the same web site (I am not sure if I am allowed to post the link to the web site):
1) Pear Shape, 1.07 ct Fancy Deep Pink, $15k
2) Oval Shape, 1.07 ct Fancy Deep Orangy Pink, $15k
3) Oval Shape, 1.01 ct Fancy Deep Purplish Pink, $80k
For 1) and 2), the pictures show more brown than pink. Also, the asking price of $15k seems low for pink diamonds without the brown modifier. On the other hand, the fancy deep purplish pink oval diamond does look very pink and the price ($80k) certainly reflect this.
All 3 diamonds have GIA certificate, color report only. I''ve seen IGI grading is way off compared with GIA w.r.t. color diamonds. They were calling some champagne diamonds as intense yellowish orange. However, in this case, it seems that GIA is kinda off too unless the pictures don''t tell the whole story; anyhow, there is also the price which suggests that they are not really fancy deep pink. I always feel that I can trust GIA as far as color diamond grading is concerned but now... Have they changed their color diamond grading policy lately?
