Hi there! I'm brand new to the forum but have been doing a lot of lurking and reading. I'm looking to invest in my very first Fancy Pink Diamond. I recently purchased a Fancy Yellow ring (have wanted a yellow diamond for over 7 years) and finally bought one from my local jeweler. It got me wanting more...and looking online...which I should have done to start with. I did not know that fancy diamonds could be an investment and that appeals to me as I love wearing beautiful sparkly things and knowing that I'm not losing money but possibly making some over the long term, that appeals to me greatly and makes such a big purchase more justifiable.
Ok, so I have been looking at several places- Leibish, James Allen, Blue Nile, Diamonds by Lauren, along with several Aussie Jewelers. My budget for the stone is about $10000 (there may be a little wiggle room) and then I want to do a custom setting. I want at least a Fancy Intense although I would love a fancy vivid but I think that is going to wind me up with either a very very small stone or go way over my budget. I have a question. Now I have found some Fancy Vivid stones that are not Argyle diamonds. Would those be a smarter investment because they are Fancy Vivid than a Fancy Intense that IS an Argyle stone?
Here are a couple of stones I've picked out that I really love the color and cut of. I am hoping you can help move me in the wisest direction.

Stone #3

Stone #4
