Loose fancy diamonds are shaped variously, and it is common knowledge that, not having to worry about whether the diamond will fit into the limiting frame of a ring or a necklace, jewel cutters have much more freedom in more aesthetically pleasing designs. Pear-shaped loose fancy diamonds for example, though incontestably expensive, are not an uncommon sight among gem collectors, although they are much more difficult to find if attempting to purchase one already set in a piece of jewelry.
Loose fancy diamonds are usually for display purposes, marks of a truly affluent home and the owner's relentless taste for the finer things in life.
The costs of loose fancy diamonds vary, and factors like color (including shade and vividness), and weight are usually the most significant. A loose fancy blue diamond coming in at 1.57 carats (relatively a heavy piece) is priced just before reaching the 200000 USD mark. A loose fancy yellow diamond weighing only .20 carats lower is priced at just 11000 USD.
