A unique, authoritative hard cover book on fancy color diamonds has been launched into the jewelry and diamond trade. Written and produced by Eden Rachminov, Managing Owner of Rachminov Diamonds 1891, and a third generation diamantaire, the book is entitled “The Fancy Color Diamond Book.”

Eden Rachminov, a world expert on fancy color diamonds initiated this project as a service to his clients and to the industry as a whole. Eden said that his goals in producing the book were to provide in-depth knowledge to those who sell and trade in fancy color diamonds and to expand their base of knowledge

This handsome, 231-page book was a substantial project that took two and a half years to research, write, edit, design and produce. It is the ultimate combination of a practical manual and a luxurious coffee-table book, and seeks to serve as a definitive source on fancy color diamonds, both for professionals and for interested consumers.

“The uniqueness of this book is that it provides in-depth commercial, as well as technical information about fancy color diamonds, and diamonds in general, written in a user-friendly manner. It is meant to assist in closing any fancy color diamond deal. It is especially useful for the experienced diamantaire but no doubt would be of interest to the private diamond high-end consumer,” said Eden Rachminov.

According to Rachminov, the book is intended to clarify and demystify the subject of fancy color diamonds, and contains many little known facts that will enlighten and add knowledge for professionals involved in the fancy color diamond trade.

The Fancy Color Diamond Book contains a substantial amount of information about the range of fancy colors of diamonds, as well as issues of grading, clarity, the challenges of cutting fancy color diamonds and the role of fluorescence in determining the value of fancy color diamonds. It also clears many misconceptions regarding the GIA diamond report and much more. In addition, the book includes a Fancy Color Diamond Value Scale Comparison.

The book is chock full of beautiful photographs and illustrations, as well as interesting facts about diamonds and especially fancy color diamonds. It is a beautiful gift for retailers and diamond dealers to give to their own clients.

According to Eden Rachminov one doesn't have to read the book in-depth in order to get value from it. Briefly skimming of the book can contribute as well, due to the interesting sketches, images and captions.

Bill Boyajian, former President of the GIA has written the foreword to the book. “Numerous books have been written about fancy color diamonds…However, no book before has shed sufficient light – from a manufacturer’s perspective – on the practical issues involved in the production of these magnificent gifts from nature. Nor has any book so thoroughly discussed the broad range of factors that influence the monetary value of these diamonds… Eden Rachminov has truly done a masterful job.”

Rachminov Diamonds 1891 is one of the largest manufacturers of natural fancy color diamonds and a leading supplier to the fancy color diamond market.

The book will be provided as a special value-added service to clients of Rachminov Diamonds 1891, and a limited supply will also be available for sale. Proceeds from the sale of the book will be donated to the International Save the Children Alliance.

The book was designed by the leading design studio Dan Alexander & Co., specializing in boutique branding and book design with offices in Tel Aviv and Paris.
