Colored Diamonds
Learn about Colored Diamonds
Colored fancy diamonds are the rarest type of gems and among the most costly. You will often hear that class D flawless diamonds, those lacking color, are the
most valuable and sought after. However, on the other end of the spectrum is another
group of diamonds, ones that some people want to have color.
Sometimes the imperfect diamonds in yellow and brownish hues are treated with
heat and covered with a substance that masks imperfections. The substance wears off with
normal wear relatively quickly. Gemists have started to treat lower quality diamonds to
meet the demand of the increasingly popular colored diamonds. If you are in the market for
a "natural" diamond, beware! Natural colored
diamonds are extremely rare. If a jeweler claims it is a real diamond, request a certificate
of authenticity.
