The Many Colors of Diamonds
Are you new to the diamond purchasing scene? If so, you are going to be faced with an overwhelming amount of choices. The following is an explanation of the different colors of diamonds now on the market.
First of all, you may not realize that there are over 10 solid color choices for natural diamonds. And each of the colors comes in different hues and shades, taking that number into the hundreds. Some are commonplace and very easy to find, while others are considered very rare.
Coloring in diamonds signifies impurities like nitrogen that can be found in some single-compound (carbon) diamonds. Although-diamonds that are not pure white are not necessarily flawed. In fact they may be considered rare, as in the case of purple, orange or red diamonds. In addition, any diamond that is not white can be referred to as "fancy" (if it possesses the right characteristics); as in a "fancy bright yellow diamond. "
White-A white diamond is not really white, it is almost translucent. White diamonds are colorless to near colorless; the clearer the diamond the higher the grade. White diamonds are the most common and signify elegance and stability.
Yellow-Commonly referred to as the canary diamond. Its yellow coloring varies from light to bright. These are rarer than white diamonds and more expensive.
Brown-These are sometimes referred to as Champagne or Chocolate in color, but with a definite light or dark brown tint. Brown can also be found combined with orange or yellow.
Grey-These are lustrous with a smoky coloring and are sometimes bluish-gray in color.
Blue-Blue diamonds have been sold for quite some time. They are considered elite and rare, and therefore much sought after.
Green-Relatively new to the market and green in color-but will not be mistaken for an emerald, as green diamonds are lighter in color than emeralds and sometimes have an olive tint.
Pink-The new white. Pink is very feminine and is also the color that is internationally recognized to be associated with Breast Cancer Awareness. You might score some knowledge and caring points by going Pink.
Orange-Orange diamonds can be very intense and vibrant in color or combined with brown, pink or red.
Red-The rarest color of all diamonds is the red diamond. Not many have been classified as fancy, as most are combined with pink, orange, or purple.
Violet/Purple-Generally lighter in color and can be found in combination with pink diamonds.
Black-Black diamonds appear to be black and lustrous, but are really a shade lighter than true black.
When you are purchasing diamonds keep in mind that the colors above refer to natural colors. However, diamonds can be artificially colored. Be sure to ask the jeweler if you are purchasing a natural colored diamond or one that's color has been enhanced. Also, it is not unusual to find diamonds that have color combinations such as a fancy orange/brown or purple/pink.
Now that you know that diamonds come in every color of the rainbow, you will need to focus on the recipient of the diamond. Choose a color that suits the needs and wants of the person who will be wearing the diamond. No matter which color that you choose for that special person, make sure that you buy something that will complement their personality and physical characteristics.
