Does anyone have any info on red diamonds?  I mean other than they are super rare and expensive.  I've read on some sites that red is rare and increases price as a secondary color in pink diamonds but on one other site I read that red can actually decrease the price of a pink because it has a muted effect on color.  Anyone have any info on how a red secondary hue can impact the price of a diamond?  I always thought a red increases the value of all diamonds (i.e. reddish brown) but I've seen conflicting articles on how it impacts a primary pink diamond.  Anyone with a view or info?

What is it that makes the difference?  Is it just how it impacts the overall look of the stone (i.e. if it makes it more intense looking like a greenish yellow rather than toning it down like a brownish pink)?  I figure you will tell me it all depends on the stone which makes sense but I always thought any red in a stone would hike the price.

David, my world records book is ancient, and this could have been surpased a long time ago...but wasn't the record price ever brought at auction for a diamond a red diamond? (I know it was as of 1984 LOL)

Have you ever seen a really beautiful red diamond?

I wonder who bought the Hancock red, also if they would wear it.  The insurance company wouldn´t be very pleased if it was worn I suppose.   I should imagine that most people would think it was an extra bright ruby.  It depends who is wearing it though.  When I saw a  woman in the supermarket with  enormous studs and pointed them out to my husband he said they must be fakes.  Then when we left and he saw the car the lady got into he changed his mind.
