Diamond Guide<\/a><\/span> we go through the 4 main characteristics of a diamond, the so called \u20194C\u2019s. One of these \u2019C\u2019s stands for <\/span>color<\/i> . As a quick <\/span>reminder,<\/span>D refers to colorless stones while Z means the opposite: diamonds which carry strong yellowish colors. You need to be aware that there are diamonds which fall off this range, these diamonds are so colorful (e.g. yellow or red) that they are not considered anymore as regular transparent stones with a certain color grade, rather than belong to a separate group of stones called the fancy color diamonds<\/b> . <\/span><\/p>\n

In the image below you can see the type of fancy colors existing on the market. Among some of the most unique stones we can mention the blue, yellow, pink or red colored diamonds.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When we talk about fancy colored diamonds, we are talking about naturally formed diamonds,<\/strong> which owe their beauty completely and exclusively to the Mother Nature<\/em>.<\/p>

Important to mention that there are certain fancy colored diamonds which go through treatments<\/em> (these are the so called treated diamonds).<\/em>During these treatments the stones are exposed to extraordinary conditions such as high pressure<\/em> and high temperature<\/em> (HPHT) and by this they are able to influence the final color classification<\/strong>of a diamond. It is a common procedure used especially at brown color diamonds as they try to alter it\u2019s color to red. Red diamonds<\/em> are considered extremely rare, therefore they are very valuable and priced super high on the market. Another example when they take a regular transparent diamond with a low color grade and try to \u2019push\u2019 it over the color scale bar and turn it into a fancy color yellow diamond.<\/em> The aim is similar in both instances: make the stone look more attractive to buyers and increase profits<\/strong> by forming a new stone out of the original one.\u00a0<\/p>

These treated diamonds are relatively easy<\/em> to recognize as the the alteration is so conspicuous that the stone looks more like a semi precious gemstone,<\/strong>rather than a diamond.<\/p>

Obviously, we are not expecting you to identify the difference immediately, especially if you are not familiar with the industry. My advice<\/strong> is that if you eventually decide to go for a fancy colored diamond engagement ring,<\/em> make sure you ask<\/em> the seller if the stones are 100% natural<\/strong>or went through any sort of supplementary treatment.<\/p>

Some people do not really care about these treatments,<\/em> they go for a good bargain and buy a certain stone much cheaper than the natural counterpart. This is completely fine, however for us at Best Diamond's<\/strong> it is a matter of principle and we are really committed to sell strictly natural stones,<\/em> period.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Fancy colored diamonds and the \u20194C\u2019s<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I cannot emphasize enough that the cut<\/i>this one is the most important<\/strong> role when it comes to regular transparent diamonds. The process of cutting a rough stone determines how successfully will be able the final diamond to reflect back the light and by this to ensure sparkle<\/em> and splendor<\/em>. <\/p>\n

When it comes to fancy colored diamond the situation is different. Out of the 4C\u2019s, it is a little bit obvious that the color<\/i>is quite significant<\/strong> as it will have the most influence and will determine at the end a diamond's final price.<\/em> Do not get me wrong, the cut cannot be neglected, however while the cut makes a regular transparent diamond eye catching, here at the colored stones it becomes a secondary factor after the color. In the next chapter, you will find a more detailed explanation regarding it\u2019s classification. <\/p>\n

Every clarity<\/i>this one is same category<\/strong> as the cut. It is influencing the final price of a colored stone, but the impact is much less compare to a regular diamond where inclusions are much more visible. Let\u2019s take for example the black colored diamonds.<\/em>Inclusions in a black colored stone are obviously much harder to spot, therefore they are not making a much of a difference and not impacting substantially it\u2019s beauty. <\/p>\n

We went through the cut, color and clarity but what about the carat?<\/i>this one is obvious<\/strong>, the larger the stone, the more expensive it is. There is no change from that perspective.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
