Colored diamonds are exceptionally rare and valuable stones that claim leadership among the most outstanding jewels in private collections.
Diamond Colors
The palette of colored natural diamonds includes a wide variety of all colors of the rainbow: pink, yellow, orange, red, purple, purple, blue, green, brown, gray, fancy black and white.
"The rarest colors that are the object of desire of the owners of private collections are red, blue, and pink.
A colored diamond may have more than one color, uneven intensity, or contain optical "spots".
All these factors always significantly affect the final cost and must be indicated in the certificate.
Certification
Colored diamonds are also evaluated according to the GIA system and have a very specific classification.
There are 9 dominant diamond colors: red, brown, gray, purple, blue, green, pink, orange, and yellow.
In addition to these colors, there are an infinite number of different combinations of shades, colors, and subtones. Together they form a spectrum of fancy diamond colors.
