How can they have an article without pictures?

Sometimes I feel so small....... ;(
 
Thrilling! The reds are beautiful -- thanks, Wyntery, for the pics -- poor form to write an article about them with no photos!

They look like they should be Fancy Intense -- the saturation is delicious.

Gorgeous, cant imagine the affordability though :love:
 
I wonder how these compare to the famous Rob Red diamond. From my pitiful knowledge of FCDs, reds are rarely well saturated, yet these are quite intense, so I wonder whether major photoshop tweaking happened or they are truly well saturated.
 
Not only saturated, but pure red. I don't see a modifier anywhere! :eek:

Exactly Chrono, These are Gorgeous Red Colors
 
Maybe a bit fotoshopped - compare it with Chrono's avatar - diamonds with a near mahenge color????

But they are still unbelievable!!!
 
Absolutely luscious :lickout:

The second from the left in the photo is the only named red that is pictured... from this article.

Apparently they really look like that - would you "fancy" paying over $2mill for these inclusions? (last October)



This is a video of the Argyle Phoenix

Dark background helps. I'm not a fan of red diamonds, they're too dark, not enough sparkle. I like lighter pinks instead.

Here's a video of a red diamond, it's so meh to me.

Here are some more, and many of them look brownish, and very dark, but the prices. :eek:

This one is ridiculously expensive, and I actually find it very unattractive. Look at the video if you don't believe me, and I have seen red diamonds in person.

This was an argyle tender stone, and it's awful. It looks like a dark burgundy color, no life, no sparkle, just blah.

Per the website, "This amazing Argyle diamond has such a high color saturation that Argyle graded it 1P, which is its highest grade."

I guess I'm too much of a colored stoner, I see so much oversaturation, that the tone is so dark, it lacks color, and looks dark reddish brown to me. I guess I'm not the FCD collector type.

I would kill to have this stone instead. :love:

I have to admit to being underwhelmed by the red diamond in the video at that price.
 
Thanks for the link and pic.
Very cool indeed.
 
Thank you!

Compared to the 0,17 ct pear... I don't understand FCD prizing!

The cushion is 3x larger and "cheaper", exclusive rare color too - well cut and fine clarity - the much more attractive FCD!!!

Who bought it??
