As it happens, the Chinese market is going wild for the new LEIBISH designs, as the brand new jewelry has finally reached the market. Although it is still early to say which diamond colors are going to be the overall preference, it is safe to say that fancy yellow diamonds and fancy pink diamonds are just as popular in China as they seem to be throughout the world, which is a testament to their universal beauty and reach. The frequent auctions by Christie’s and Sotheby’s in Hong Kong have definitely paved the way for color diamonds in the mainstream, as more and more people are inquiring about how to get color diamonds for themselves – with or without the million dollar price tags that are featured on auction jewelry.


Whether it is for decorative or investment purposes, fancy color diamonds’ strong start in the Chinese market have only served to prove yet again that these diamonds are incredible for all means and designations. From engagement rings to sensational earrings and stunning necklaces, color diamonds are well on their way to surpass colorless diamonds in this burgeoning market, where the sudden influx of wealth has ignited a sudden interest in goods to which these people previously had very limited access. LEIBISH and Kela are extraordinarily proud to throw open the doors to a whole new world of beauty, sparkle, and glamour.
