What is a Fancy Shape Diamond?

Diamond Education:

The term fancy shape refers to anything other than a round brilliant. All diamonds, to a certain degree, are difficult to cut, and some very large diamonds take more time and effort to cut than smaller diamonds do. But one diamond is not harder to cut than another just because of the shape.

The more facets a diamond has, the more time it took to cut. The standard pear, oval, marquise, round and heart brilliant cuts all have 57 facets. When extra tiers of facets are cut on the stone, the stone will be graded as a "Modified" shape. For instance, GIA does not refer to princess cut diamonds as Princess Cut when they grade them. They are called "Rectangular Modified Brilliant" or "Square Modified Brilliant."

Radiant cuts, which usually contain between 70 and 90 facets, thusly, are not called radiant cuts, they are refered to as "Cut-Cornered Modified Rectangular Brilliant" or "Cut-Cornered Modified Square Brilliant."

The more facets a diamond has, the more expensive it tends to be, especially when that is coupled with a stone that has good clarity and color.

Red Diamonds - The Rarest Colored Diamonds

Diamond Education:

Most of the highest-priced diamonds in the world have been fancy color diamonds. The one that leaps to mind immediately is the Hancock Red -- a 0.95-carat Fancy Purplish Red round brilliant, which sold for $880,000 in the late-1980's.

This stone held the world record for the highest price-per-carat ever paid for a diamond (about $926,000) for a number of years, and it wasn't even a very clean stone. It had some eye-visible flaws and there was a chip out of the girdle.

Purple and red are the rarest colors diamonds that occur.

The Moussaieff Red is the largest red diamond in the world.

The most common gem-quality colors diamond occurs in naturally are light and medium shades of brown and yellow.
