Roughly one diamond in ten thousand shows natural colour; far fewer show it vividly. Legacy’s dedicated fancy colour vault — yellows, pinks, blues and greens, each graded by GIA or IGI for hue, tone and saturation.












Colour in a natural diamond is an accident of deep geology — nitrogen for yellows, distorted crystal lattice for pinks, boron for blues. Roughly one diamond in ten thousand shows any of it, and only a fraction of those earn the grades collectors pursue: Fancy Intense and Fancy Vivid. At Legacy, every fancy colour stone is certified by GIA or IGI for hue, tone and saturation before it enters the vault, and each certificate is shared in full before any commitment.
White diamonds are graded D–Z as colour becomes a flaw; beyond Z, colour becomes the virtue. A fancy colour grade describes three things: hue (the colour itself), tone (light to dark) and saturation (weak to vivid). Saturation moves value more than carat weight — a 3-carat Fancy Vivid yellow will routinely command more than a 6-carat Fancy Light of the same clarity.
Fine Fancy yellows begin in the range of white diamonds of comparable size; Fancy Intense and Vivid stones command strong premiums that rise steeply past five carats. Pinks and blues occupy another order entirely — they are auction-house material, and pricing follows rarity rather than any per-carat table. Every Legacy listing carries one transparent price, and a private advisor will walk you through the certificate line by line.
Begin with fancy colour earrings or fancy colour bracelets, read the House's notes in the Legacy Journal, or step up to high jewellery where the most saturated stones reside. Collections from $50K–$100K offer a serious entry into natural colour.
