About coloured diamonds<\/h2>\n
\n

\n Diamonds were first excavated in India approximately 3,000 years ago and
\n were originally appreciated for their ability to reflect and refract
\n light. Traders eventually brought these gemstones to other parts of the
\n world, but it wasn\u2019t until the 1300s \u2013 when craftsmen learned how to
\n best cut diamonds \u2013 did their popularity and usage in jewelry and other
\n adornments take off. Almost immediately, diamonds became an obsession of
\n the rich and powerful.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n From crown jewels to rumored pirate treasure, diamonds created fortunes,
\n fueled imaginations, forged alliances, and changed history. The wealthy
\n have long understood the value and power of diamonds (and coloured
\n diamonds in particular) and have likely benefited from the misnomer that
\n diamonds are for the elite only. We\u2019re happy to work with clients of
\n different backgrounds to actualize their dreams by unveiling to them the
\n accessibility of the diamond market.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n Today\u2019s coloured diamond market is relatively niche, but is becoming
\n increasingly recognized for its investment and wealth potential. It\u2019s
\n estimated that
\n coloured diamonds make up only one to two percent of the entire
\n natural diamond market<\/strong\n >. Their rarity and beauty are big reasons why these gemstones command
\n higher prices and have long been sought after and collected by royals,
\n celebrities, and the wealthiest among us.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Timeless treasures<\/h3>\n

\n Not only are diamonds the hardest material found on earth, it\u2019s
\n estimated that the coloured diamonds in circulation today were formed
\n between one and three billion years ago. There\u2019s likely no other way you
\n could ever own something so near eternal<\/em>.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n With careful planning, know-how, and the help of trusted gemstone
\n dealers, everyday Canadians can also access this market and experience
\n the privilege of owning natural coloured diamonds \u2013 and even build
\n generational wealth through those acquisitions. Similar to bullion, a
\n coloured diamond is an asset that exists outside the stock and
\n financial market systems, and as such, can add diversity and hedging
\n within your portfolio or wealth plan.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Factors that influence the value of a coloured diamond<\/h3>\n

\n Each natural coloured diamond is one-of-a-kind, and its value is
\n determined on an individual basis. That said, there are several
\n factors that weigh into the price of a coloured diamond.\n <\/p>\n
