All About Fancy Colored Diamonds

Diamonds vary from being colorless to light yellow and are pronounced D-to-Z color-grading. 

 

Natural diamonds are beautiful, what makes them simply extraordinary is their extreme rarity. 

 

Natural diamonds are unique but nothing quite compares to the breathtaking beauty of natural fancy color diamonds.

 

Fancy diamonds are exquisitely hued, vanishingly rare, each one is unique and uniquely valuable. 

 

They come in different colors of the rainbow, blue, purple, violet, green, red, yellow, white, gray, black but the most expensive ones are the pink diamonds.

 

What Diamonds Are the “Fancy Color Diamonds”?

 

The characteristics and elements of the fancy colored diamonds are the same as that of the colorless diamonds such as diamond cut, clarity, and carat maybe. 

 

The only difference is the fancy color diamonds have different colors than colorless diamonds, such as green, orange, blue, yellow, or pink. 

 

Fancy colored diamonds are very well known for their sparkle reflection through the anatomy of a diamond.

 

What Causes Color in Fancy Diamonds?

 

Trace elements, radiation and structural irregularities can all cause a diamond to take on a certain color.

 

For example, fancy green diamonds are caused by radiation displacing carbon atoms in the crystal structure. 

 

Blue diamond’s consist of trace amounts of boron, a rare element which contaminates the diamond’s usual crystalline lattice structure.

The natural yellow color diamonds consist of nitrogen, which absorbs blue light.

 

However, how the pink and red diamonds get their color is not yet known, having an unproven theory that a mutation in the crystal lattice alters the gemstone’s molecular structure.

 

How Fancy Colored Diamonds Are Graded?

 

As mentioned above, the GIA has established a widely used diamond grading system which ranks colorless diamonds on a D-Z color range.

 

GIA added a Colored Diamond Grading System having nine different color descriptions in order of their intensity namely: faint, very light, light, fancy light, fancy, fancy dark, fancy deep, fancy intense and fancy vivid.

Along with that fancy colored diamonds are graded on the basis of the following three criteria:

 

Tone – it is how light or dark the diamond is.

 

Hue – it is the diamond’s primary color. GIA recognizes about 27 different diamond hues.

 

Saturation – it is the depth and strength of every diamond’s coloration.

 

Lab-Grown Colored Diamonds

 

Fancy colored diamonds are very costly because of their high-quality, and their rarity in nature, but lab-grown colored diamonds can provide a more affordable alternative. 

 

Lab-grown diamonds are exactly the same as that of mined diamonds, the only difference is they are made under high temperatures in a lab rather than deep in the Earth.
