“Fancy Color Diamonds: The Fine Art of Investing”
Episode Overview
It’s Colin back with you—and today we’re pulling back the curtain on why natural fancy-colored diamonds are more than jewelry. After watching a Monet painting close at Sotheby’s for $97 million (and a staggering $110.7 million after fees), I couldn’t help but draw the parallel: rarity, provenance, and cultural weight drive markets. And that’s exactly why fancy-colored diamonds belong in the same conversation as fine art.
For decades, people have been told white diamonds are “investments.” The truth? They’re not rare anymore, and they don’t hold wealth. But the select group of vivid pinks, blues, and yellows? That’s a different story. Those stones are finite, portable, and globally recognized as assets that store value across generations.
This episode breaks down why collectors, investors, and families are shifting their portfolios toward diamonds that behave more like fine art than fashion.
What We Talk About
- Why the Monet auction is a perfect mirror for diamond investing.
- The difference between white diamonds and true natural rarity.
- How natural fancy-colored diamonds outperform as long-term stores of wealth.
- Why portability makes diamonds a unique asset compared to art or gold.
- The psychology of ownership: beauty, scarcity, and legacy.
A Few Truths Worth Repeating
- “Natural Fancy-colored diamonds are the Monet of the jewelry world—rare, finite, and irreplaceable.”
- “White diamonds are jewelry. Fancy-colored diamonds are assets.”
- “When you hold a vivid pink, you’re not buying sparkle—you’re holding a piece of history.”
The Bottom Line
White diamonds may dazzle, but they don’t deliver returns. Natural fancy-colored diamonds, on the other hand, stand shoulder-to-shoulder with art as assets of beauty and scarcity. They’re not just adornments—they’re portable wealth.
