Owning and Investing in Green
Demand for Green
The stakes are extremely high in this area of natural colored diamond investments. At Rare Investment, we are seeing pressure on 'grayish-green and greenish' categories, as these colors are starting to follow in the footsteps of the Champagne variations (Champagne, Cognac, Chocolate and Hazel Diamonds TM) diamonds and Gray (Silvermist) diamonds.
As worldwide demand for these rare luxury commodities increases, mines apparently cannot supply the demand from growing markets in India and Asia.
Fuelled by the eminent closing of the Argyle Diamond Mine in 2018 – only seven short years away and with the potential elimination of natural fancy colored diamonds supplies, Green jewels are becoming a highly interesting investment for investor’s of rare commodities.
Rarity of Green
Natural fancy Green diamonds derive their rare color from exposure to atomic radiation. When nitrogen is also present in Green diamonds you get a striking color of florescent green. Green diamonds with nitrogen look similar to the color of florescent green like Kryptonite (a material from the Superman myth).
The Green hue is present mainly on the diamonds outer skin and brightens as it penetrates the jewel. If the natural green color is particularly intense, the diamond has most likely been exposed to more radioactive substances, mainly uranium.
The strength of color is one of the most important attributes in determining the value in a natural colored Green diamonds and its increases with the intensity. Green jewels that show no trace of secondary color modifiers are extremely valuable. Yellow-green and Green-yellow diamonds are more common and affordable than pure Green diamonds, however all Green diamonds are considered rare.
Just like Champagne, Chocolate, Cognac and Hazel DiamondsTM, natural fancy Green diamonds have never been poised to appreciate more. As supply declines over the next decade, we foresee that prices of natural fancy green jewels will rise.
