Re: What happen to all the professional jewelers on PriceSco
I think Fancy Colored diamonds are a bit different from X, Y, Z lower color diamonds. There is more yellow, pink, blue not just more brown and brownish yellow in them.
If Cubic Z's were not invented, I bet the D color diamond would be more sought after. So it has been said that D color is more expensive because it is rarer, but that doesn't count for anything on this forum, does it, probably because most of us
cannot afford D color diamonds so easily. Yes an M color diamond is worth a lot of money in a large size but it is not worth as much as a diamond in a higher color in the same size, even if the color is K.
A diamond looks good from the top because of the cut, but the side view does matter too. This forum however, promotes that the top view only matters in the same way Clarity is graded from the top. Color is not clarity though and can be seen from across a hand when you are next to someone, (especially in a high set diamond which most large diamonds have to be due to their size) whereas an inclusion cannot so easily due to movement of the hand.

FCDs are also tainted by impurities to make them look pink or blue or whatever colour. By your definition, these diamonds should be worth a lot less due to their lack of purity as they are tainted by boron and other impurities.
Exactly... even Cartier, VCA, Tiffany, etc. sell those impure, tainted diamonds for top dollar.
