Demand for Colored Diamonds Not a Surprise
2

• It has almost been a year since the spectacular
  14.6-carat Oppenheimer Blue diamond sold for a
  record-setting 57.5 million. The rare blue
  diamond, the sale of which was managed by auction
  house Christies for almost 4 million dollars a
  carat, is the most expensive blue diamond ever
  sold.
• Since the sale in May 2016, demand for rare fancy
  colored diamonds has steadily increased, creating
  what many have called the year of the colored
  diamond. With that said, colored diamonds have
  been progressively gaining value over the last
  decade and are considered one of the best hard
  assets a robust investment portfolio can have.
• While Fancy Light Blue and Fancy Vivid Pink
  diamonds have made international headlines over
  the last two years for the amounts they have sold
  for, looking at historic data, the value of rare
  diamonds could potentially climb higher over the
  next five years.

• Between 2009 and 2016, the price of pink diamonds
  has increased nearly 180 percent and currently
  sits at a record high. Blue and yellow diamonds
  have also gained value, with the price of both
  rising 70 percent and 90 percent, respectively.
• The allure and luxury of fancy colored diamonds
  is universal, which makes them a coveted asset in
  a range of countries and cultures. In addition to
  being a status symbol, these exclusive fancy
  colored diamonds are easily portable and of
  high-value making them an ideal hard asset.
• Demand for rare colored diamonds is expected to
  strengthen over the next decade as supply of the
  exquisite fancy colored diamonds becomes scarcer.
  Only 0.001 percent of diamonds mined each year
  qualify as "fancy" and even fewer earn the
  distinction of "vivid", which refers to a highly
  saturated hue.

The Pink Star Diamond

• There are also very few mines that produce fancy
  colored diamonds, notes Paragon International
  Wealth Management, a Toronto-based firm that
  specializes in the acquisition and investment
  management of fancy colored diamonds,
  particularly pink diamonds.
• The scarcity and rareness of these fancy colored
  diamonds makes them more precious and
  sought-after than their less illustrious white
  diamond counterparts.

• For every 10,000 white diamonds mined only one
  natural colored diamond will be found, notes
  Paragon International Wealth Management. This
  makes natural colored diamonds extremely rare and
  ideal for investment purposes.
• When you consider that only one fancy blue
  diamond is mined each year, and there are only 20
  to 30 fancy reds known to exist, it is easy to
  understand why fancy colored diamonds are such a
  hot commodity.
• This will be further compounded if the famous
  Argyle diamond mine, located in East Kimberley,
  Australia, closes in the next 24 months. The
  Argyle mine is the only known substantial source
  of pink diamonds, responsible for roughly 90 to
  95 percent of the global supply. Due to a rapid
  depletion in supply and escalating mining costs,
  the Argyle mine is expected to close in 2018,
  making the rare pink diamonds that have been
  mined there even more precious.
