James Allen carries up to M color now. Anyone know of other sites selling even more tinted natural diamonds?

Brilliance.com

They also carry down to an M and prices are much better than James Allen...

But still haven't seen anywhere to buy much more tinted stones. I guess there isn't a market to demand it. I know vendors can locate but like I said, don't want to bug them yet.

You speak to my social anxious/avoidant heart lol.

I totally think this is an underserved market niche. Warmdiamondswithfluoro.com needs to exist! :lol:

Premier Gemstones on IG sometimes has lower colors. B2C goes as low as M.

I mean there is a market niche for heavily included, grey, speckled diamonds now so I don't see why there wouldn't be a market for what we are talking about!

Leibish carries some. Have you looked there?

Thanks! I hadn’t seen there. Unless I didn’t use their filters right, again only down to an M color. And it was $40k!!

So maybe I should clarify I am looking for cheap tinted diamonds :lol-2: under 1ct sizes.

there are a few Q-R although not in your price range. But you could keep an eye out there to see if more show up. I just looked at everything that came up looking at their colorless link. But Fancy Color Diamonds mentioned by @lulu_ma looks more promising I think.

That fancy diamonds IG suggested by @lulu_ma seems like the best bet so far. Lots of the kind of dishwater colors I’m interested in lol

They have a lot of “antique” cuts in the same style as the “antique” LGDs we keep seeing. They are too uniform to be true antiques, but they do look nice. It’s interesting to see them in natural diamonds. Must be cut in the same places :read:

Some of the gems have GIA reports but obviously they are the larger ones.

Highly recommend Alex Park! You will need to reach out to him, but he has great cape diamond options and I’ve not seen better prices for the quality he offers. He is really picky about cut regardless of antique/modern/shape/color. I’m working with him right now on an O-P/Q-R (not certified, I trust his expertise) OMC project.

I just entered one of Alex's giveaways but it says "Like and tag a friend." How do I tag a friend?

Park usually sells very large stones for $$$ and I am looking for under 1ct stones for $. But agreed, he has a very nice range of colors!
