Colored Diamonds
Add A Splash Of Brilliance With Fancy Colored Diamonds
Natural fancy colored diamonds are extremely rare. There are currently less than ten natural red diamonds on the market for sale. A lot of diamond colors come from the earth from which they are mined, but others jewelers color to make them look good.
The most common form of creating fancy colored diamonds is irradiation treatment similar to that which also occurs in nature. Sometimes violet and other fancy colored diamonds have been subjected to certain dyes to create their colorful appearance. Many people like stones to have no color and consider them to be more of value but others enjoy the bright colors in their stones. Most colored diamonds are mined that way naturally.
Since colorful stones come in all kinds of colors it’s often hard to tell what the color is. Most of the time you will have two colors in the stone that are a greenish blue. Every stone has a color description and might even have a second description as well. One of the most famous canary yellow engagement rings was worn by Paris Hilton. The emerald cut ring weighed in at a hefty 24 carats. Yellow diamonds are more expensive than their white counterparts, and the intensity of the color factors into this.
An appealing alternative to pink diamonds are pink sapphires, which are less expensive, come in a wider variety of shapes and sizes, and have both light and deep shades of pink. Smaller yellow diamonds can be used as sidestones or natural yellow gemstones such as yellow sapphires or citrine can be used instead.
