Buyers Advice – What To Know About Pink Diamonds

Regardless of the intention of the purchase, buying a pink diamond without doubt requires the advice of an experienced professional to assist with navigating the market and making the best diamond selection.
Pink diamonds are an anomaly of nature where the physical properties have been disrupted by the forces of the earth to give a diamond its pink colour. Each pink diamond has its own signature quality, enhanced by the skills of a master diamond cutter to craft the rarest and most beautiful gemstone possible from the rough crystal. Being a natural gemstone, not all diamonds will be perfect, the quality of a pink diamond will vary considerably with the majority actually being quite poor colour tone and clarity. In all reality the percentage of pink diamonds that are considered jewellery store quality is very small and those of investment grade even rarer. Judging the quality of coloured diamonds is very complex and without in-depth knowledge, certification and expertise are your first protection. Any diamond of significant value should be certified with the most internationally recognisable certificate possible.
Argyle diamond mine, GIA and IGI are the most recognised international certifiers for quality pink diamonds and can be trusted to help determine the value of the diamond. All larger size diamonds should have one of these certificates regardless of the quality. Smaller pink diamonds 0.01-0.07ct have traditionally not been certified and are reliant on receipt of purchase and lot numbers to assist with authenticity and valuation or secondary Australian origin certification like GSL, Spectra or Delta.
With so many poor quality pink diamonds also in the market it has created an opening for other less authorised sellers to enter the market with a larger variety of less regulated pink diamonds. The authenticity and certification for many of these diamonds is a lot more difficult to navigate and is generally reflected in the price and their appearance. Purchasing a diamond from a genuine pink diamond dealer will ensure that you are advised of the quality you have selected and knowledge that you have paid the right price for a quality product. Knowing what you are buying and how it compares on the market is the best advice that can be given to prospective buyers and will give you the greatest protection for your purchase.
Pink Diamonds Price vs Quality


Everyone understands that pink diamonds are expensive but the reality of how expensive, all depens on the quality. Some diamonds in the market cost no more than a standard white diamond, however the best can be more than 300 times the price and most importantly to understand, eveything inbetween. Colour purity and saturation is the greatest price factor but without a quality cut and clarity this can significantly diminish the value of the diamond.
If a pink diamond seems to be too cheap then there is probably a reason and if it is not evident then, find out why! Any diamond of value should have a legitimate internationally recognised certificate that outlines all the diamond qualities. If not, then the diamond probably does not have value or quality that you may expect you are getting.
