A Colorful Investment

JANUARY 23, 2013

After breaking several sales records at auction last year, colored diamonds might be one of the best investment gifts for Valentine’s Day. The One and Only One, a group of seven U.S. jewelers, is offering several rare stones from $2 million to $10 million. Standouts include a 10.2-carat canary-yellow diamond cocktail ring; a pair of earrings featuring a 2.23-carat and a 2.35-carat green diamond surrounded by pink and white diamonds; and the six-strand Majestic Pink Bracelet, composed of 204 square-cut marquise pink diamonds totaling 43.34 carats.
