For example, in the late 70’s a man purchased the BVLGARI Blue Diamond as a gift for his wife who was about to deliver their first baby boy for $1.4 million. He sold that same diamond in 2010 at Christie’s New York for $15.7 million. Over the past 10 years, prices of colored diamonds increased by 200%.
The beautiful thing about a natural colored diamond is that by definition the starting point is much better than in regular colorless diamonds - they are rare enough due to the fact that only 0.01% of the diamonds is a natural colored diamond (1 of 10,000 diamonds) .
While in the case of white diamonds it is possible to buy virtually any stone, we naturally skip here unique stones, in the case of colored diamonds we can buy only what is available on the market because such a diamond can be the only one in the world and  never will  be found again.
