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.

Colors And Your Diamond Jewelry

Posted on by

Unlike other gem stones, a diamond’s quality is judged mostly by the absence of color in them. The worth of diamond jewelry is judged solely by the purity of its brilliance.

Like any other natural stone, however, diamonds come in several shades of colors that are beautiful in themselves.

So far, there is a good range of colors in diamonds, aside from the in-demand blue and pink. Commercially available now are yellow, orange, green, champagne, grey, black, white, red, purple, chameleon and violet diamonds.

Absence of color and perfection

Among jewelers, the finest diamond stones are those that are totally colorless. They are graded D, meaning they are absolutely free of any color.

Theoretically, a chemically pure and structurally perfect diamond is also perfectly transparent with no color whatsoever. However, a good number of all the diamonds used as gems are imperfect.

A tinge of color

The next group are stones with very slight traces of color which can be seen by a diamond expert. When assembled into a finished jewelry, the color shades of these stones usually cannot be discerned anymore. Still, they are graded as E or F color diamonds.

Down the line, those stones which show very little traces of color are categorized as G or H color diamonds, or perhaps I or J color, depending on the strength of the color seen.

Grading and color

Those stones that are graded between D and F are considered “colorless”. Those that belong in the G to J group are called “near-colorless”. Those within the K to M grading are “slightly colored” and the N to Y stones usually looked like light yellow or brown.

One peculiar twist to the rule – those diamond stones graded Z are also rare and those bright yellow diamonds are priced higher than the ordinary.

The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) had developed the present color rating system for white diamonds (“D” down to “Z”, according to the intensity of the coloration). This has been universally recognized and adapted, overriding the previous older systems.

Fancy

The industry considers diamonds with intense colorations as “fancy”. An intense yellow coloration is regarded as one of the fancy colors and belongs to a different color grading system.

Gemologists have another rating system for fancy colored diamonds that is different from that used in white diamonds. However, this is not commonly used because these stones are relatively rare.

The color seen in the stones either detract or enhance its value, depending on the color itself and the intensity of the coloration. Examples would include the grade Z bright yellow, or an intense pink or blue in the stones, each one of which commands a better price.

Impurities

There are reasons for these colors in the stones. They could be structural defects in the crystal lattice of the stone or it could be a result of some chemical impurities.

Nitrogen is the most common impurity. It sometimes replaces a small proportion of carbon atoms in the diamond causing a yellowish or brownish tone.

Many impurities and structural flaws produce different colorations in the diamonds. Impurities are almost always present in white diamonds. It is not detectable in the rarest stones.

As always, choosing your diamond jewelry always go back to your own prerogatives on the pros and cons of owning either colored or white diamonds.

Recently J-Lo received an intricate 6 carat pink diamond in 2002 from Ben Affleck, which makes stir in the fashion industry. Although the romance fizzled, the desire for pink diamonds did not.

Each year there is a limited production of pink diamonds, making them both extremely rare and heavily sought after. They come with astronomical price tags due to the large demand, and they can easily run over $10,000 and especially much more. Most of the world’s pink diamonds are found in Australia, and they are light in color with just a hint of pink.

Pink sapphires which are less expensive are another appealing alternative to pink diamonds. These sapphires come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and have both light and deep shades of pink. Pink sapphires receive their color from small amounts of chromium. They are a hard gemstone and are therefore suitable for everyday wear.

On the other hand, pink tourmalines are another alternative to pink diamonds. You can combine small pink diamonds with more affordable gemstones to have more choices. Also, colorless diamonds can undergo treatment to develop a pink hue at a more affordable price.

Paris Hilton was sport wearing one of the most famous canary yellow engagement rings. The emerald cut ring weighed in at a hefty 24 carats. Regular couples today are also selecting canary yellow stones for their engagement rings. Diamonds with a natural intense yellow color are considered more desirable than those with a slight yellowish hue. The yellow color is considered as the presence of nitrogen atoms when the diamond is formed. To give the diamonds a yellow hue, they have to undergo a process called irridiation or high pressure/high temperature treatments.

Compared with the white counterparts, yellow diamonds are much more pricey. For those couples who cannot afford a natural yellow diamond or pink diamonds, they can opt for smaller yellow diamonds or natural yellow gemstones such as yellow sapphires or citrine.

Desirable Qualities in Diamonds

Precious stones in general are rare and a perfect one is rarely ever found. Gems for the most part are at a safe stock. The public is beginning to realize and want to understand the finer qualities of precious stones. Year after year the public is demanding greater excellence in quality and cutting.

The number one quality of a diamond as a jewel is its brilliancy. For example put fifty rings of equal size in a tray, the most brilliant will always gain the most attention. The stones brilliancy attracts the eye of the buyer. Sometimes a stone will lack brilliancy due to impurity of color, imperfections, or poor cutting. Stones that lack brilliancy even if extremely valuable, will not demand much attention. On the other hand a stone that has fire and life will fascinate and demand attention.

After brilliancy comes color. The color which usually demands the highest price is a bluish white. The quality of color was long ago termed Old Mine. Right after bluish white tints, the next is the purest white. Pure white colors were coined River goods. These goods are notable for their purity of color. For some unknown reason, stones of wet diggings are superior in quality, to those of dry diggings. After these come crystals which are divided into crystals and top crystals. Many jewelers pride themselves on carrying nothing less than crystals. After crystals come silver capes, capes, and by-waters each less valuable and brilliant than the next. There are stones that are very rare and contain two or more colors, which become very apparent depending on the position of light.

Pink and violet diamonds come next in the order of rarity. Orange and canary yellow diamonds come next, and there is a growing demand for them. Fine brown colors are also gaining a surge in popularity. A fine brown stone is very hard to find, and as the demand keeps rising, so will the price.

Besides brilliancy and color, cutting and perfection weigh heavily pay large dividends when the value of a jewel is in question. Cutting is an essential step in jewelry game because so much depends on it. When a worker cuts a stone their main concerns are weight, color, and brilliancy. The diamond cutters of yesterday cut mostly to preserve weight and color. Recutting a stone is often times an arduous chore, one must be careful as to not cut out considerable weight or color.

For each stone there are certain angles and arrangement of facets suited to its refraction, which embody the light falling upon it, and best assist the light falling upon it, and best assist the natural power of the stone also to reflect and disperse rays of light. For stones to be cut to perfect proportions an expert cutter needs to be employed. It costs more cut a stone to exact proportions than to cut the proportions to the stone. Perfect proportions are a must for optimal brilliancy. A diamond face up, should show an even distribution of light.

Flaws that do not hurt the brilliancy of the stone are immaterial, but they do however hurt the price. Upon inspection even an inexpert can discover them. Carbon spots, cracks in the grain, imperfect crystallizations, and holes and the surface are all serious objections and reduce the value considerably. Slight grain marks, needle-point bubbles, or specks, do not weigh in as much as brilliancy and color.

Settings for Alternative Diamonds

Jewelry is an extension of your personal style. It can transform simple, basic outfits into spectacular ensembles – and it can give your old favorites a new sparkle. So when considering how to set loose moissanite stones or choosing a moissanite or diamond engagement ring, don’t forget to consider how the pieces will fit into your wardrobe and your lifestyle.

Your lifestyle.

Before you shop for moissanite or diamond engagement rings, consider how and where you’ll be wearing your jewelry. For instance, if you’re an active woman who will wear her ring to work, to the gym and at night, sturdier settings – such as bezel and pave engagement ring settings – will provide added protection to the stone. However, if your ring will be worn mostly socially, a more delicate setting may be appropriate.

Your favorite color.

Whether pink is your signature color or you look best in canary yellow, diamond engagement rings, earrings, and even rings in pave engagement settings can all be customized to include colored diamonds, loose moissanite or other gemstones in your favorite colors. In fact, there’s no rule that says your engagement ring needs to be a colorless diamond – sapphires, rubies and other precious stones are all popular choices for engagement rings.

Your personal style.

Are you bold or demure? Trendy or classic? Playful or subdued? From simple pendants to dramatic earrings, classic diamond engagement rings to loose moissanite stones in custom settings – whatever your style, your jewelry to enhance it.

Your jewelry collection.

If your style is ultra-modern, then pave moissanite engagement rings settings or loose moissanite in basket settings may appear too old-fashioned for your overall look. However, if your jewelry collection is filled with timeless pieces, these settings would add another layer of romantic sophistication to your look.

Your frame.

Your frame will often dictate the type of jewelry you look best in. Women who are curvy or athletic often look best in bold necklaces, chunky bracelets and even loose moissanite set in dramatic cocktail rings. However, women with more delicate frames and features typically look best in smaller jewelry such as pretty diamond pendants or small moissanite hoops.

Your skin tone.

In general, people with cool skin tones (usually with blue, green, or grey eyes) look best in silver, white gold or platinum jewelry, whereas people with warm skin tones (often with brown, black, or hazel eyes) usually look best in gold. Regardless of what’s in fashion, think about what works for you.

As you shop for diamond or moissanite jewelry, you will want to keep these things in mind.

The Four C’s of Diamonds and Why Are They Important

Posted on by
Reply

Anyone who has even tried to buy a diamond has probably heard of the four c’s of a diamond. So, what exactly are the four c’s and why do the matter so much for the person who buy the diamond? Well, the 4c’s determine the quality of the diamond and therefore – it’s worth. Let’s take a closer look at these four quality parameters and understand them a little better:


Clarity – describes the clearness or purity of a diamond. It is determined by the number, size an shape of the flows, or imperfections, inside and outside the diamond. The clarity is expressed by a scale of clarity level. The highest level is F – which means “flawless” diamond (very rare). On the other side of the scale there’s the I3 clarity degree, which indicates a diamond with very notable imperfections. The scale goes from I3, to I2, I1, SI2, SI1, VS2, VS1, VVS2, VVS1, IF and finally – F. Be aware that the clarity level of a diamond may change over time for many reasons.


Color – The color of a diamond is another factor that should be looked at when determining it’s worth. Not all diamonds are clear in color, and some have a yellowish color to them. The color scale starts at D,E,F,G,H and I levels, which represent colorless (transparent) diamond, D being the most colorless. After that, J,K and L represent a diamond which is near colorless. M, N,O,P,Q and R represent a faint light yellow diamond, and the S,T,U,V, W,X,Y and Z letters stand for a light yellow diamond.


Cut – the beauty of the diamond is to a large extent, derived from the quality of it’s cut. An ideal cut will reflect most of the light that hits the diamond, thus causing it to shine and look very beautiful. A poor cut will make the diamond look lifeless and in many cases a small diamond that has an ideal cut will look much better that a bigger diamond with a shallow or a heavy cut. In many cases, the cut has a great effect on the diamond’s price. One might ask – if the cut is so important, why aren’t all the diamonds cut in a prefect way? The answer to that is that the rough diamond doesn’t always allow the diamond cutter to cut it in an idea way because rough diamonds are found in different shapes and sizes.


Carat – The weight of the diamond. 1 carat equal to 0.20 grams. A carat is also sub divided into points, where 100 equals 1 carat. The size of a single diamond adds to it’s worth, so 2 half-carat diamonds taken together will not cost as much as 1 one-carat diamond. This is due to the fact that the one-carat stone is more rare.


After the 4 c’s are evaluated, the diamond’s price can be calculated. Of course, diamond’s value is also effected by the market – if there is a great demand to certain diamonds, their price may go up beyond their “on paper” value.

Diamond Engagement Ring

Once you’ve decided that you want to pop the question, you now need to do it with the perfect ring. And no better way to do it, than with a diamond engagement rings. However, you want to ensure that along with dazzling your fiancé, it must also suit her preferences; lifestyle and most importantly fit her. This will involve trying on many rings till she finds something that suits her best. The ideal way thus to ensure you surprise her with a ring that fits all the above criteria, is to pick a diamond yourself and let her choose the design and make of the ring.

However, it helps if one knows the basic parameters by which to judge a diamond before buying it. A diamond is judged by the 4Cs: Colour, Clarity, Cut and Carat. The higher a diamond rates in all these characteristics, the more expensive it is. A little idea of what these terms mean will go a long way in helping you pick the best ring

Colour: Contrary to popular belief, diamonds are not colourless. ‘Normal’ diamonds are graded on a scale of D to Z with D being colourless and Z as light yellow. A colourless diamond in the normal range is the most expensive. Beyond Z, a diamond is considered as ‘fancy coloured’. Naturally coloured diamonds are quite rare. Red and green are the rarest fancy colours, followed by purple, violet, orange, blue, and pink. Yellow and greenish yellow diamonds are more common. And the rarer, the more expensive.

Clarity: Clarity is the absence of internal inclusions (mineral parts or crystals trapped inside) or surface blemishes. A diamond devoid of such inclusions and blemishes is ‘flawless’ and most valuable. Normally diamonds are cut and shaped so as to get rid of surface blemishes, without reducing the weight of the diamond. Since inclusions are found only in natural diamonds, they help in distinguishing them from lab made ones. When you buy a diamond for your engagement rings, look for such blemishes and inclusions under a 10X magnifying glass. (Most jewellers will provide you with one).

Cut: Cut refers to proportion, symmetry and finish of a diamond. A diamond can be cut in various ways, to accentuate its ‘fire’. A well cut, well-proportioned diamond will sparkle breathtakingly and display the colours of the rainbow when held against light. Although you might not be able to know technically whether a diamond in your engagement rings is well proportioned by looking at it, the gasp emanating from your fiancé will be a good pointer!

Carat: This is the unit of measuring the diamond weight. 1 carat is divided into 100 points. So a diamond of half a carat will measure .5 carat. The measure corresponds directly with the size and price of your diamond. In case you want an elaborate engagement rings, you might consider a cluster of diamonds of varying carat measurements.

With this basic knowledge, it will now be easier to explain to your jeweller what you’re looking for, and also discern if he’s offering you what your money and of course your beloved deserves.
