Which of the 3 diamond types is best?

The three main categories of diamonds are fancy coloured diamonds, lab-grown diamonds, and diamonds that have been mined. Which, is the best? What you value the most and your specific criteria will determine this.

Mined diamonds- If you want to acquire a priceless, timeless precious stone and have the money to spend on it, this sort of diamond is the conventional option.

Lab grown diamonds- A high-quality yet reasonably priced option is this kind of diamond. Additionally, if you care about the environment and society, this is the best choice for you. Fancy colored diamonds- If you're seeking for a special, extremely expensive piece of jewelry that not everyone can acquire, this sort of diamond is ideal for you.

Depending of the diamond you select, it will be ideal for you. Only you are able to evaluate each one's worth and advantages. The fact that you have three alternatives to choose from is ultimately the best.

Argyle Diamonds

December 2020

Since operations began in the early 1980’s, the famed Argyle mines of Western Australia have conjured up diamond fantasies for consumers, collectors and dealers alike. Excavating tons and tons of rock, traditional diamond mines yield minute amounts of diamonds. Even within this yield, most diamonds are commercial quality used in manufacturing with little to no profit viability. This is where things get interesting- Of the remaining high-quality diamonds, most mines in the world see 85% of their diamonds within the “colorless” or white range and the remaining 15% are natural color diamonds. Mysteriously, the Argyle mine presented itself in the reverse numbers- Approximately 85% of its high-quality diamonds in color and 15% in the “colorless” range. This upside-down equation baffled the industry as it was never seen before.

Natural color appears in diamonds when small impurities and at times, molecular imperfections cause the colorless carbon to exhibit specific colors. But not all colors are precious and desirable. In fact, of the 15% color diamond yield mentioned above (and the approximately 85% in Argyle), the vast majority are usually in the less precious, brown color palette. You do not have to be a mathematical genius to appreciate the rarity of unearthing a diamond, that diamond being high quality and precious, then that same diamond containing native structural imperfections that cause it to exhibit natural color, and finally that diamond’s imperfections flashing back not just any color- but a color that is deemed most rare and desirable. To add to Argyle’s allure, prehistoric occurrences caused a disproportionally large amount of the diamonds to contain the red, pink and purple color palettes which are among the most rarified. This has been the magic of the Argyle mines!

From the onset, the international mining behemoth, Rio Tinto became Argyle’s caretaker. Along with Rio Tinto came the company’s vast financial prowess and some of the best minds in the industry. Taking a cue from De Beers’ epic advertising success in promoting “A Diamond is Forever,” Rio immediately recognized the power of marketing. It did not take long for the name Argyle to become tantamount to a brand name. Not only did the Argyle brand soon represent luscious color diamonds- especially in the pink and red tones- but consumers liked the concept of Australian diamonds. The Australian origin stood out, especially in the 1980’s when issues with a small amount African diamonds and conflict diamonds were first coming to light. For decades, the future looked rosy. In fact, some consumers were willing to pay a premium for the Argyle origin when presented with the exact same quality color diamond found in Africa. This proved especially true of Aussie consumers who found a certain nationalistic charm in Argyle diamonds- At times paying 20-30% premium for Argyle stones over their exact African counterparts.

Unfortunately, the Argyle business model was impossible to maintain. To begin with, the natural topography of Western Australia and its mines made it increasingly expensive to unearth diamonds. Additionally, operating in Australia (An expensive first world country) put extra pressure on profitability. Mix into this equation, the natural decrease in yields as a mine ages and becomes deeper, and it is understandable that by the year 2000, Rio Tinto was struggling to maintain profitability. Unofficial rumors were circulating for years until 2019, when Rio Tinto announced that it would seize operations and physically close the mine by the end of 2020.

What does this mean for the future of color diamonds? Obviously, a significant supply of color diamonds is being shut off. Since any other mining operators will be faced with the same business model and issues, we can fully expect Argyle’s closure to be permanent. There is no question that the decreased supply will cause large increases in color diamond prices- especially in the classic Argyle pink-red-purple color palettes. On the more positive note, yes you will be able to purchase collectible grade color diamonds. High-end consumers are inherently well informed and educated about their purchases. They have now recognized that an equal color diamond, unearthed in democratic countries like Botswana, Namibia and South Africa for example, are equally desirable- Albeit even more rare. But even greater pressure on prices will come from the demand side and this writer sees this as the most significant force at play. High-end Chinese consumers are flush with disposable income and looking at rare, small, portable gemstones as one of their favorite investment purchases. The pressure on prices for high-grade, collectible color diamonds is tremendous and this phenomena will only amplify going forward.

Do you like colored diamonds?

[timelesstreasuresblog]

Are diamonds with visible color better or worse than those without?

As a jewelry professional we get asked this on a daily basis.  Here is a quick guide to help you understand what color in a natural diamond really means.

Many people are under the impression that a diamond with visible color means it is a “bad” diamond. Short answer...not true.   The whiter, or less color a diamond has, does not always mean a better or more expensive diamond.  There are various factors to consider when looking at diamond jewelry items; color is simply one of them.  

Most natural diamonds found in jewelry items are near colorless, with light variations of yellow, brown and gray tones (most being in the yellow range).  Diamonds are an inorganic mineral that also happen to be the only gem made of a single element: carbon.  These natural properties or impurities allow for variations in color and clarity in a diamond.  There are very rare natural fancy colored diamonds (a higher saturation of color beyond the Z grade) that are much higher in price.  Some of these rare colors are red, purple, pink, green and blue.  Most diamonds of these colors found in retail settings are heat treated to heighten the natural color within, making them a more affordable option.  (View our upcoming June blog “Creating Colored Diamonds - A History”

Marketing for colored diamonds has been on the rise since the 1980′s as diamond mine owners, manufactures and vendors all want a little extra piece of the pie. In the past, most diamonds that had dark color, but did not reach a fancy level were used for industrial purposes.  Now, these black, brown, yellow and gray diamonds have found a way into our jewelry markets and have been a real hit. Those who have an affinity for antique jewelry will find it hard to acquire these darker and colored diamonds in true period pieces, as they were not readily used during these times.  There are however, many diamonds that have eye visible yellows, browns and grays in antique and vintage items that can be found on the market today.  

So the ever remaining question:  are diamonds with visible color better or worse that those with little color?  Overall, color that is visible to the naked eye tends to lower the value a bit.  However, other factors, such as, clarity, gem weight, cut and age also affect price.  Truly, it is all in the eye of the beholder.  Some like the fact that there is a little visible color, around J - M rated diamonds; they feel it helps to make a diamond look more natural and not a costume piece.  There are those who would prefer to have a very white diamond or a dark fancy colored diamond, yet there are others who would rather have a larger single diamond and not linger on color or clarity when purchasing.

In general a whiter or less colored diamond, with very good clarity is still going to be a higher priced diamond in the market place as most still consider it a sign of wealth and love. Natural fancy colored diamonds with very good clarity tend to be even more expensive, with substantial sized stones usually sold at auction. 

My best advice is: if a piece of jewelry makes you take a second look, or makes you stand a little taller when you try it on, then color, clarity and carat weight are all secondary.  Jewelry is an extension of your personality and should be enjoyed and worn for pleasure or sentiment.
