Cape Series and Fancy Colour are two of the groups, representing colour purity, that we use when valuing your diamonds. The expert staff at Gold Exchange Universe are experienced in identifying your diamond’s exact colour. Highest in the grading and thus value is the colourless diamonds of the Cape Series. Often traces of yellow within the diamond, undetected by the naked eye, can be found which lowers the value of the stone. The second group or Fancy Colour diamonds are more certain in their colour eg. blue, purple, red and like the recently sold pink diamond which set a world record.

The value of diamonds is also determined by the clarity of the stone. Like a piece of soft fruit, the most prized is that with least bruising or blemishes, so too it is with diamonds. These are called flawless diamonds and thus sit at the top of the valuation scale. From here the diamond is graded on a pre-existing, internationally recognised grading system where the type and number of bruises or blemishes are considered in valuing the stone.
