The Rare Beauty of Coloured Diamonds with Capital Coloured Diamonds and James Gagliardini



Capital Coloured Diamonds, a Canadian diamond company directed by James Gagliardini, is one the most trusted names in the coloured diamond industry. The staff at Capital Coloured Diamonds has combined experience of over 50 years in the coloured diamond industry. Clients can trust that the staff at Capital Coloured Diamonds will bring their passion for coloured diamonds into every transaction that occurs. The staff at Capital Coloured Diamonds, including James Gagliardini, is extremely knowledgeable about coloured diamonds. They do not view the coloured diamond's current popularity as a trend or a fad. They are committed to providing potential investors with all the relevant facts and statistics that apply to the coloured diamond industry. Their dedication and commitment to service is apparent to anyone who has worked with the Capital Coloured Diamond staff.

The first thing that the staff at Capital Coloured Diamonds is likely to explain to any potential investor is just how rare coloured diamonds actually are. A statistic that one may find surprising is that only thirty-three red diamonds have been found since 1983. The Argyle Mine, located in Australia, is responsible for supplying over 90% of the world's pink coloured diamonds and yet an entire yield of diamonds weighing a half of a carat or more would fit into the palm of your hand. Equally surprising may be the fact that red and blue diamonds of a similar size would hardly fill a teaspoon. The extreme rarity of coloured diamonds is what makes them so valuable and therefore such a solid investment, assures James Gagliardini. Coloured diamonds are also a tangible asset that sets them apart from traditional stocks and bonds. 

Coloured diamonds come in an array of naturally occurring colours. One of the most popular coloured diamond colours is pink. Pink diamonds are a result of structural pressure placed on the diamond lattice during its formation. Pink diamonds are the rarest coloured diamond in the world. Yellow is another popular coloured diamond colour. Yellow diamonds are the result of trace elements of nitrogen bonding with carbon atoms during the formation of the diamond crystal. Yellow diamonds can range in intensity from pale or canary yellow to fancy vivid yellow, the most desirable and expensive in the yellow family of coloured diamonds.

Whatever your particular preference is in terms of coloured diamonds, Capital Coloured Diamonds and James Gagliardini have the skills and the knowledge to help you make a stunning investment.

Capital Coloured Diamonds and James Gagliardini Promote Conflict-Free Diamonds



Capital Coloured Diamonds, a Canadian company directed by James Gagliardini, specializes in the sale of investment quality coloured diamonds. Coloured diamonds have a reputation for being one of the most rare and sought after gems in the world. Coloured diamonds are so rare that their value continues to appreciate at a staggering rate even as other paper investments decline. Coloured diamonds are a tangible asset that continues to increase in popularity. Capital Coloured Diamonds is one of the industry leaders in the acquisition and sale of coloured diamonds. Many investors are concerned about the means by which coloured diamonds are procured. Capital Coloured Diamonds is very pleased to state that all of their diamonds are conflict-free. Capital Coloured Diamonds has a strongly stated opposition to dealing in any coloured diamonds that are acquired from conflict-free mines.

There has been an increased public awareness, due in part to media attention, regarding the term "conflict diamond." Many recent films, including Blood Diamond, Die Another Day, and Lord of War, have highlighted the horrors and corruption associated with conflict diamonds. Conflict diamonds, also called blood diamonds or war diamonds, refers to diamonds that are mined in a war zone and then sold to finance an insurgency or other activity that negatively impacts the indigenous population. Most of these diamonds are mined in Africa where unstable and cruel political systems are often fueled by the sale of conflict diamonds. 

Capital Coloured Diamonds and James Gagliardini, in addition to never dealing in conflict diamonds, are also active in promoting ethical working conditions for the employees of the major mines from which they do acquire coloured diamonds. The Argyle Diamond Mine in Australia is a perfect example. The Argyle Diamond Mine is responsible for providing over 90% of the world's pink coloured diamonds. Capital Coloured Diamonds is pleased to state that the Argyle Diamond Mine is committed to the highest standards regarding worker safety and worker relations. In addition, the directors of the Argyle Diamond Mine work closely with the local community to promote conservation and environmental efforts.

Capital Coloured Diamonds is very proud of their stated stand on the sale of conflict diamonds. They believe that their clients respect this ethical decision.

The GIA has established a rating system that is used to determine the quality of coloured diamonds. James Gagliardini is proud of this certification.

The GIA is the originator of the 4Cs standard for evaluating diamond quality. All of the coloured diamonds sold through Capital Coloured Diamonds have GIA ratings.

Cut: is responsible for establishing a diamond's brilliance, sparkle, and fire. A diamond's cut references its proportions, symmetry, and polish. The GIA grading system rates diamonds on a scale of D-Z, with D being the most perfect.

Clarity: defines a diamond's absence of blemishes or inclusions. Internal birthmarks are called inclusions and external birthmarks are referred to as blemishes. Both appear due to the enormous pressure that is required to create a diamond. Diamonds that have no inclusions or blemishes are exceedingly rare. There are six quality grades that range from flawless (FL) to diamonds that posses obvious inclusions (I3).

Colour: the closer to colourlessness the greater the value. Of course this does not apply to coloured diamonds that fall outside of this particular colour range. Diamonds are assigned a colour rating of D-Z, with D representing colourless.

Carat Weight: refers to the diamond's weight in metric carats. Accuracy and precision are crucial in weighing diamonds and GIA evaluators often measure diamonds to the hundred thousandths.

The Origins of Coloured Diamonds with Capital Coloured Diamonds and James Gagliardini

Each client who invests in coloured diamonds with Capital Coloured Diamonds receives excellent service.

Coloured diamonds are a rare and precious asset and Capital Coloured Diamonds strives to provide clients with all the necessary facts they need to make an informed investment.

Coloured diamonds differ from traditional diamonds, as their name suggests, due to their colour. The colour in these diamonds is actually the result of the inclusion of trace elements that bond with carbon molecules during the formation of the diamond crystal. Pressure and heat are two of the basic ingredients required to produce a diamond. Carbon molecules exposed to these two factors will, over long periods of time, alter and potentially produce a diamond. The process required to create a diamond happens in only rare instances. In addition to the creation of the diamond, deep within the earth's mantle, a second phenomenon must occur such a volcanic eruption which forces the diamonds into a mineable part of the earth's crust. 

Capital Coloured Diamonds and James Gagliardini are experts in the coloured diamond industry. They understand that coloured diamonds are among the earth's rarest elements. This rarity contributes to the value and desirability of the coloured diamond. There are very few coloured diamond mines in operation today and even rarer is the discovery of new coloured diamond mine.
Due to these circumstances, investors often seek the advice and counsel of Capital Coloured Diamonds and James Gagliardini because of their strong relationships with some of the most well respected diamond cutters and polishers in the industry. Capital Coloured Diamonds stands apart from the competition when it comes to pricing as well. Capital Coloured Diamonds is often able to offer diamonds to their clients at prices up to 25% less than their competitors.

Capital Coloured Diamonds and James Gagliardini on Investing in Coloured Diamonds



Capital Coloured Diamonds, a Canadian company headed by James Gagliardini, is certain that investing in coloured diamonds is a smart and stylish way to diversify your investment portfolio. Coloured diamonds are unique because they are rarely found in nature. Unlike traditional investments of stocks and bonds, coloured diamonds are a tangible asset. Even gold, the standard go-to investment in uncertain economic times, has gone through a surge only to see its prices start to decrease. 

Coloured diamonds consistently appreciate in value over time. Some statistics put the appreciation of coloured diamonds at between 20-30% per year over the past thirty years. Their limited qualities contribute to their sound investment properties. The scarcity of naturally occurring fancy coloured diamonds is the essence of their value.

Another thing to consider when thinking about coloured diamonds, James Gagliardini points out, is their status as a non-registered asset according to Capital Coloured Diamonds. This allows for ample discretion on the part of the buyer or seller of coloured diamonds. The non-registered asset status conferred upon coloured diamonds means that they can be acquired without reporting the acquisition as an asset. This offers investors a sense of security if the unfortunate events of bankruptcy, a lawsuit, or divorce were to ever force the disclosure of other investments. 

James Gagliardini explains that coloured diamonds are unique as an investment because they can be transported legally across international borders. They can be sold in foreign countries using foreign currency according to a representative of Capital Coloured Diamonds. Coloured diamonds can be given as a luxury gift without any of the penalties that other investments may carry.
Capital Coloured Diamonds works closely with many of the existing coloured diamond mines throughout the world in order to procure the best quality coloured diamonds available on the market. Many of the known coloured diamond mines are nearing the end of their mining capabilities and few if any new coloured diamond mines have been discovered in the past several years.

Capital Coloured Diamonds is a leader in the coloured diamond industry and well regarded by their clients and other industry professionals. If investing in coloured diamonds seems like an interesting possibility do not hesitate to contact James Gagliardini at his offices in Toronto, Canada at: (888) 474-4572.

Capital Coloured Diamonds Predicts Rise in Diamond Prices



Capital Coloured Diamonds sells hundreds of highly valuable diamonds and pieces of diamond jewelry every year. However, most of their clients almost never wear the pieces they buy. Capital Coloured Diamonds sells diamonds as an investment opportunity to their clients. Many of their pieces are far too valuable for wear, even on special occasions. Why has diamond investment become so popular? According to Capital Coloured Diamonds, diamond prices are one of the few markets that rise steadily each year.  Despite the fluctuations in international and national economies, diamonds have continued to grow in value by 20-30% every year. 

Capital Coloured Diamonds specializes in Natural Fancy Colored Diamonds, a classification for high quality colored diamonds. They are much more valuable than other diamonds, and can get a much higher price per carat. Red diamonds are the most rare of all. According to Capital Coloured Diamonds, prices of diamonds overall have grown 100% since 2004, but prices of large and colored diamonds have grown even more.  A more than 100% return on investment in only ten years is very rare and exciting in the world of investments.

As more people become interested in investing in colored diamonds due to the emerging trend and the volatility of other markets, the prices will go up even more. Since colored diamonds are produced naturally, there is no way to speed up production or increase supply to keep up with demand. As a result, prices are projected to keep going up. For example, the Argyle mine in Australia, which produces most of the pink diamonds in the world, is expected to run out in the next ten years.
