How differences in color can dramatically affect diamond value?

How differences in color can dramatically affect diamond value

Many years ago diamonds industry was quite different from now. Before the greatest value had white diamond and all other color diamonds was looked it's not enough clear. Specially it was for brown diamonds and before it was the ugliest color for diamond. In that period the most expensive diamonds were the colorless, clear diamonds.

Today diamond industry changed a lot. People love color, love to break clear style, colorless style. And price of diamonds is determined with many facts. There is no established reason for bad reputation of brown diamonds until now. On diamond market price of brown and black diamond are still very affordable. There are also very expensive brown diamonds but many of them still are not famous on diamond market.

When comparing the prices of diamond the prices differences are enormous. White diamonds are more expensive than brown and the average price of white diamond is higher about 50%. Color intensity of diamonds is very important for price, as color is more intensive the price is higher. Dark brown diamond generally have higher price than light brown diamonds. Also very important fact is rarity of color. As color is rarer diamond will be more expensive.

The most similar color with brown diamonds are yellow and orange brown diamonds and such diamonds are usually cheaper than dark brown. Depends on rarity price varies and this make orange brown diamonds more expensive then yellow one.

The highest price usually have diamonds that have very intensive color and in that group are: red, pink, purple, green, blue and violet diamonds, but color do not define price totally.

The most expensive diamonds are the rarest color and usually red diamonds are the rarest and the most expensive, as color is more pure the price is higher. Probably if anybody success to find pure red diamond it will be the most expensive because it does not exist yet. What do you think which diamond is the most expensive? For now it is the Mousaieff Red.
