The beautiful but rare, Fancy Colored Diamonds

There's not a lot of people who know of the fancy colored diamonds. At least not many people know them by that name. Some may know of the famous Blue Diamond or the very expensive Pink Diamond. There're more colors to catch the eye. Fancy colored diamonds are extremely rare and precious. Fancy Colored Diamonds constitute less than 1% of the world quantity of rough diamonds manufactured every year and this quantity gets less each year. They are quite popular with Hollywood Celebrities.

After Fancy Colored Diamonds have been classified, these natural rough diamonds are certified in a gemological institute such as GIA, HRD, and IGI. Once a stone has been graded and certified the natural loose diamond will have it's own ID number. Measurements of the loose diamonds, diamond weight, diamond shape, clarity, polish, symmetry, and it's fluorescence are record with the diamond ID.

The diamond price is reflected by these categories: color, cut, clarity, and carat cut. Fancy colored diamonds are polished in a way unlike your common white diamond. On the fancy colored diamonds the color needs to be emphasized as much as possible.

Fancy colored loose diamonds can appear either as one primary color or one with a secondary hue. When the colored diamond appears as a single color, the price is much more expensive. An example of one with a secondary hue is a pink diamond with an orange hue or a fancy color of brown, green and yellow, or a grayish blue colored diamond.

The grading system unlike white diamonds, go by color intensity. Fancy colored diamonds are graded by: light, fancy light, fancy, fancy intense, fancy deep, fancy dark and fancy vivid. The stronger the color the higher the price, and this goes for all Fancy Colored Diamonds. I will post more information about these beautiful diamonds in the near future. Thank you for your visit.
