Natural fancy yellow and pink diamonds are pulling further ahead of colourless stones of similar size, after a period when the gap had narrowed.
- Fancy intense and vivid yellow stones are pricing at a wider multiple over comparable colourless rounds than they were a year ago.
- Fancy pink stones, always the scarcer of the two, have seen the sharpest premium widening, concentrated at 1 ct and above.
- Lab-grown fancy colour has not closed this gap: buyers seeking natural colour specifically continue to pay for rarity rather than appearance alone.
Fancy colour grading works differently from the colourless scale — see fancy colour for how intensity is graded. If natural fancy colour is the goal, expect a real premium over an equivalent lab-grown stone; browse natural fancy colour stock or contact us to source a specific hue.
