Natural Fancy-Colored Diamonds
When you hear the word diamond, what image automatically springs to mind? Many picture a clear, almost white, sparkling gemstone — but diamonds also exist in a vivid rainbow of colors. These are called natural fancy-colored diamonds, and they are exceptionally rare: only 10,000 diamonds annually possess natural fancy color. That's less than 1% of all diamonds graded by the GIA, making them the most highly prized of all gemstones.
Natural fancy-colored diamonds occur in a range of hues including blue, pink, red, yellow, orange, green, purple, violet, black, and brown. Each color is formed by a unique combination of geological conditions during the diamond's crystallization process deep within the Earth.
The Formation Process of Natural Fancy-Colored Diamonds
Natural fancy-colored diamonds are formed within the Earth's core by exactly the same process as traditional white diamonds. However, structural defects or impurities in their chemical composition — caused by conditions during the crystallization process — create the presence of color.
The type of impurity or defect determines the resulting color: boron creates blue diamonds, nitrogen produces yellow and orange, intense heat and pressure form pink and red, and natural radiation at the Earth's surface creates green diamonds.
Fancy-Colored Diamond Options
Blue & Gray Diamonds
Natural blue diamonds result from the presence of boron, which bonds to carbon within the crystal structure and absorbs yellow, red, and green areas of the spectrum, creating a blue hue.
Pink & Red Diamonds
The colors of pink and red natural fancy-colored diamonds are created by a combination of highly intense heat and pressure whilst these diamonds are buried within the Earth's core.
Brown, Orange & Yellow
Nitrogen is the element responsible for the coloration of brown, yellow, and orange colored diamonds, creating some of the most affordable fancy colored stones.
Purple & Violet Diamonds
It is still unproven as to what factors cause the formation of purple and violet natural colored diamonds. It is thought that the presence of hydrogen may be partly responsible for their hue.
Black Diamonds
Black natural fancy-colored diamonds are made up of many tiny black crystals bound together by internal inclusions — a polycrystalline structure that gives them their distinctive opaque appearance.
Green Diamonds
Just as they are about to leave the uppermost layer of the Earth's crust, green-colored diamonds absorb natural radiation, which alters their crystal structure and creates their distinctive green color.
