I've been looking for a pink diamond but due to there rarity finding just the right stone is exceedingly difficult. So far I've looked on Leibish and blue Nile but haven't found the right one. Very visible inclusions, feathers, needles, crystal in the a face is probably not for me. I'm more okay if they are in the edges and not super noticeable but very aware what it does to the price. I'd like to stay at the fancy color range as light is too light and fancy intense bumps the price a lot. $20k is the max I'd go to and would like to then focus on size as the next indicator ideal above .45. Oh and bad symmetry drives me mad so the cut has to be at least good. The perfect one would be a rectangular brilliant radiant. Anywhere else to look?

Edit: also would like to stay with just pink not orange, brown, or purple pink. Thanks so much for the help!

Here's the tough thing about colored diamonds. They are cut for color. So... wonkiness is part of their DNA.

I would contact DBL and tell them what you are looking for



This one is a pink brown but the size you want and cheap

Orangy Pink Ring

Hmmm. Unfortunately “proper pink” colour, over .45 carat in size and no eye visible inclusions is hard to find and likely will cost a few multiples of $20,000.
Are you open to colour enhanced or even a MMD (Lightbox offers a lovely pastel pink)?
Alternatively consider brownish pink, this tone is normally more budget friendly and in a rose gold setting the pink tone is amplified.
Happy hunting.

It is tough looking for FCDs... in particular the rarer colours like pink. I am only going to echo what others have mentioned above.
Things i have identified along my journey with FCD.
1) They are rare
2) they are cut primarily for colour and weight.
3) Most if not all will have some inclusions. The rarer ones without eye clean inclusions will cost quite a fair bit more.
4) see as many images you can of the stone. request more if you are unsure some without back light might be better. Sometimes, having the stone sit in their box on the white cushion would give you a good understanding of the stone and 'sparkle' with out too much play with lighting.
5) not all websites are easy to navigate to get you to see the stones that you want.

For what you want to be eye clean, symmetrical, in the fancy range and above 0.45ct, as others mentioned already, be expecting to pay more than $20k. So the best way to look at it is the find the BEST bang for your $20k.

My go to is leibish. given that you have been on their site i go to other sites that i peruse from time to time and not mentioned by other posters. My favourite is from Denir diamond...

1) JA
https://www.jamesallen.com/fancy-color-diamonds/pink/?PriceTo=16151&CaratTo=0.2 the nicest one is the facny vivid purple pink BUT it has an inclusion on the table.

2) Denir diamonds: https://denirdiamonds.com/en/19-loose-pink-diamonds#/price-10001-25000/weight-0.070000-2.510000
my favourite from that site is: puffy crown and med fluorescence which gives the stone a bit more "colour" its on the first page- second row and the extreme right. 0.35ct.

3) Langermans : https://www.langerman-diamonds.com/...e/20000-20000?amp;dir=asc&order=price

there is only one available which happens to be right at your limits of 20K. But, it currently has no documentation. you can get a GIA report done.


I hope that helps in some way in your decision making process.

good luck and have fun!!!!

the 0.31ct Fancy vivid pink is really nice but will be $$$. you need to make enquiry.

There must be more to consider. I take virtual lists as hints.

This is small & feathered, but the colour! & the cut! WWW - ask for more of the same, perhaps...

There's a FCD seller on ebay that lists the same stuff as Leibish but for a lower price - I can't remember their name now but Serg has confirmed their authenticity!
