News:Fancy market improving as price differentials from rounds increases demand and reduces supply.Price conscious consumers are moving to fancies as their prices are much lower than rounds.Price differentials also encouraged cutters to manufacture rounds instead of fancies in 2011,creating shortages of fancies.Square cuts doing better than curves (Pear Shapes,Ovals,Marquise etc.).Fancy shapes remain less liquid than rounds and may trade at significantly higher discounts for medium-to less-well-cut diamonds.Very large (5ct.+)top quality extremely well fancies attracting some investment demand.
