The Nine GIA Color Grades

The GIA evaluates fancy color diamonds across nine intensity grades: XYZ, Faint, Light, Fancy Light, Fancy, Fancy Intense, Fancy Vivid, Fancy Deep, and Fancy Dark. Each grade reflects the combined strength of hue, tone, and saturation within the stone. As the grade intensifies, so does rarity and value. A Fancy Vivid diamond represents the pinnacle of the scale, requiring maximum saturation and purity of color simultaneously. It is the grade that defines the world’s most important and collectible fancy color diamonds.

David Rosenberg’s experience has paved the way toward his industry wide reputation as a Fancy Color Diamonds expert.

When it comes to rarity, importance, and beauty, fancy colored diamonds is what comes to most people’s minds. Natural fancy color diamonds are exceptionally rarer than white diamonds and are extremely sought after by collectors and investors. With fancy color diamonds, color is truly king. Clarity and carat weight remain staples in deciphering a diamond worth, but the depth and presence of color will always be the predominantly desired characteristic

Natural color diamonds are graded according to the saturation, hue, and distribution of color inherent in their depths. As the saturation of the color increases, so too does natural fancy color diamonds demand, value, and rarity. The grades range from the faint presence of color to the fancy vivid saturation of hues across the color spectrum.

Where Rarity Begins

Within the GIA color grading scale, the transition from Fancy Intense to Fancy Vivid marks the threshold of true rarity. Below this point, a stone may be beautiful and desirable. At and above it, a stone becomes important, finite in supply, irreplaceable in character, and universally recognized by the world’s most serious collectors. At Rosenberg Diamonds & Co., our collection is built entirely around this threshold. Every stone we offer whether Fancy Intense or Fancy Vivid, in blue, pink, yellow, orange, purple, green, violet or red represents the upper register of what nature is capable of producing.
