Search for the ultimate PINK Fancy Colored Diamond continues

After concluding my quest for the almost perfect diamond ring at James Allen, the search for that evasive Pink Fancy Colored Diamond (FCD) continues.

I love pink. Not those neon pink, but the soft, pastel feminine pink. My research landed myself at James Allen (JA) and Leibish.

James Allen has a sizeable inventory of Fancy Color Diamond collection too




After a successful purchase, I have more confidence in getting a FCD from JA. In addition, JA's filtering function helps me to narrow my search very quickly, which is another reason why I kept going back to JA. Furthermore,  the 360-degree high-definition images, that are magnified up to 40 times, helps me to discern the colors and in the inclusions, which are very common in FCD, more easily. 

However, unlike the search filter offered by Leibish, I am unable to filter the collection based on overtone. This is important to me since I am looking for Pink FCD with either pink or purple overtones.

Leibish was frequently mentioned and I was very excited to manage to shortlist the 0.29 carat, Light Pink Diamond, Cushion Shape, VS1 Clarity, GIA. However, as I am unsure how the strong blue fluorescence will impact a Light Pink FCD's color, I decided to seek help from the virtual assistants.

Meira from Leibish attended to my concerns. Since I am obviously a noob, I requested for some real-life photos (both indoors and outdoors) to assess the color and the impact (if any) from the UV in the sunlight.

Indoor photos; the light pink FCD has picked up most colors from its surrounding. Hence, the light pink is barely noticeable.

The color looks better when it rested on the fingers, since it picked up the skin color.

The light pink color looks slightly better here too. Most probably the studio has a more sterile and conducive environment for FCD photography.

Outdoor photos; unsurprisingly, the light pink FCD has picked up most colors from its surrounding too. Clearly, the light pink is barely noticeable...

The helpful experienced FCD forummers from Pricescope also affirmed my worst fears; the light pink color which I have chosen for my FCD, will mostly be Colorless instead of Colored. *Ouch* 😟

The search continues...
