Colored diamonds — also known as “fancy diamonds” — are a rare and captivating type of natural diamond that appear in an incredible range of hues. In the diamond world, rarity often determines value, and fancy colored diamonds are far less common than traditional white diamonds.
Only about one in every 10,000 diamonds naturally forms with a fancy color, making them some of the most prized and sought-after gemstones on the market. These diamonds occur in a variety of shades — from popular pinks and yellows to extremely rare blues, greens, oranges, and purples.
Unlike colorless diamonds, which are valued for their lack of color (graded on the GIA’s D-to-Z scale), fancy colored diamonds increase in value as the intensity and vibrancy of their color deepen. These diamonds fall outside the Z scale, with the most vivid examples being especially rare and valuable.
There are 12 primary color categories, over 90 secondary hues, nine intensity levels, and more than 230 possible color combinations. Many fancy diamonds feature blended or muted tones due to secondary colors like gray, brown, or orange. The most desirable stones are those with strong, vivid color saturation and minimal dilution.
Among these, natural fancy brown diamonds stand out for their rich, earthy tones and romantic appeal. Once underappreciated, high-quality brown diamonds — often described as champagne, cognac, or chocolate — are now recognized for their warmth, versatility, and sophistication.
One of the most iconic brown diamonds is the “Golden Jubilee” — a 545.67-carat yellowish-brown diamond that remains the largest faceted diamond in the world.
Fancy brown diamonds are unlike any other colored diamond. Their rich color results from internal structural distortions in the diamond’s crystal lattice, which affect how light is absorbed and scattered through the stone.
These diamonds range from pale champagne to deep chocolate and can include subtle secondary hues like pink, yellow, or orange. Their warm, earthy beauty and naturally occurring shades make them a standout choice for modern and vintage-inspired jewelry pieces.
While more common than rarer colors like blue or red, large, well-cut brown diamonds with intense, even coloring are still in high demand. They offer a unique and sophisticated look for those seeking something different from traditional white diamonds.
Grading fancy colored diamonds is a specialized process due to the range of hues and intensities. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is the leading authority in diamond grading and uses both visual comparisons and reference stones to determine color characteristics.
Unlike white diamonds, which are evaluated based on the absence of color, fancy diamonds are graded for their hue and saturation. Brown diamonds are typically graded using intensity levels like Light, Fancy Light, Fancy, Fancy Intense, and Fancy Deep, depending on richness and tone.
