Fancy-Color Diamond Prices Dip Slightly Amid Global Trade Tensions
Market shows resilience despite U.S. tariff concerns, with vivid pink diamonds leading both gains and losses.
Prices of fancy-color diamonds declined modestly by 0.3% in Q1 compared to the previous quarter, as cautious consumer sentiment persists in light of looming U.S. tariffs, according to the Fancy Color Research Foundation (FCRF). Pink diamonds saw the smallest dip at 0.1%, with larger stones in the fancy-vivid category performing strongly—10-carat stones rose by 3%, while 5-carat stones were up 1.1%. However, 1.5-carat fancy-vivid-pink diamonds recorded a 2.3% drop, ranking among the quarter’s biggest losers.
Blue fancy-color diamond prices edged down 0.5%, reflecting a stable market trend, while yellow diamonds fell 0.7%. The most significant drop came from the 3-carat fancy-intense yellow, which declined 3%.
Despite short-term fluctuations, the long-term trend remains positive: since 2005, pink diamond prices have soared 394%, blues have risen 242%, and yellows have gained 49%.
“While global trade anxieties — particularly around renewed US tariff proposals — have undoubtedly created caution across luxury sectors, the fancy-color diamond market remained impressively composed,” said FCRF CEO Roy Safit. “In fact, given the sharp rhetoric around import duties and reshoring, many expected a more dramatic correction. Instead, the data shows a contained, strategic repositioning. It speaks to the market’s growing maturity and the defensive appeal of vivid-color diamonds.”

Natural Diamond Council India Leads the Celebration of the First-Ever World Diamond Day
World Diamond Day celebrates the Personal Stories Behind Ntural Diamonds from Heirlooms to Modern Milestones
Jewellery has always held a deeply personal place in people’s hearts, and natural diamonds remain its most powerful expression. Every natural diamond carries within it a story of love, milestones, heritage and personal triumphs. On the first-ever World Diamond Day, these stories took centre stage, as people across the country came together to celebrate the meaning and emotion behind every diamond.
Launched by the Natural Diamond Council (NDC), World Diamond Day on April 8, 2026, was introduced as a global movement to recognise and celebrate the joy, passion, and community that natural diamonds inspire. Beyond their brilliance, diamonds represent memories, legacy, and the craftsmanship of a passionate industry that brings these stories to life.
As a champion of the natural diamond industry, NDC led this collective celebration, encouraging people from across the industry, from artisans and manufacturers to retailers and consumers, to share their authentic stories. The movement came alive on social media, with participants sharing personal moments using #WorldDiamondDay and #NaturalDiamonds, turning the day into a vibrant, global narrative.
In India, the celebration reflected a compelling blend of heritage and modern aspiration, as leading diamantaires and manufacturers spotlighted the journey of a diamond from its natural origin to a finished masterpiece. The reach of World Diamond Day was supported by the active participation of the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC India), All India Gem and Jewellery Domestic Council (GJC) and the Bharat Diamond Bourse, who joined the movement to celebrate natural diamonds. This collective spirit was also embraced by leading industry partners, including Venus Jewel, SRK Exports, HK Exports, KP Sanghvi, Dharmanandan Diamonds, Finestar Jewellery and Diamonds, Shivam Jewels and A.S. Motiwala. Additionally, the movement was championed by prominent thought leaders such as Richa Goyal Sikri, Archana Thani, Nitya Arora and Arundhati De Sheth, all of whom played a significant role in bringing authentic stories and personal perspectives from across the industry to the global stage.
Richa Singh, Managing Director, Natural Diamond Council, said,
“World Diamond Day is a platform for people to share what their diamonds truly mean to them. At a time when consumers, especially younger audiences, are looking for more meaningful ways to celebrate, this initiative offers a reason to pause and honour those moments. Natural diamonds are the perfect custodians of our memories. This day is also a reminder of why we do what we do, to bring joy, emotion, and meaning into people’s lives.”
World Diamond Day has established itself as more than just a moment; it is a reminder of the joy behind every diamond, the passion of the industry, and the stories that connect us all. A natural diamond is not just a product, but a timeless heirloom, one that carries memories across generations and continues to shine with meaning.
Worn. Given. Passed down. Never forgotten.
Today, the story of natural diamonds belongs to everyone.
