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 yellow. The most desirable stones are those with strong, vivid color saturation and minimal dilution.
Among these, natural fancy green diamonds stand out for their cool, earthy elegance and fascinating formation process. Although some green diamonds are lightly tinted, truly saturated, even-colored natural greens are among the rarest and most collectible.
One of the most iconic green diamonds in history is the “Dresden Green,” a historic 41-carat pear-shaped stone famed for its vivid hue and extraordinary provenance.
Fancy green diamonds are unlike any other colored diamond. Their distinctive green color typically comes from exposure to natural radiation over thousands or even millions of years, which slightly alters the atomic structure of the diamond’s outer layer.
This natural process gives the diamond its green tint, often seen on the surface, with tones ranging from light mint to deep forest green. In rarer cases, the color penetrates deeper into the stone, creating a more even distribution. These diamonds may also exhibit undertones of yellow, gray, or blue.
Unlike most diamonds, which are appreciated for their sparkle, green diamonds captivate with their subtle glow and organic beauty. Their natural rarity and calm sophistication make them highly sought-after for distinctive fine jewelry.
Though some green diamonds are treated to enhance their color, untreated natural green diamonds with rich saturation and excellent clarity remain especially desirable among collectors.
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. Green diamonds, in particular, are carefully analyzed to determine if their color is naturally occurring or the result of artificial treatment — a common practice in the diamond market.

A fancy green diamond is a natural diamond that displays a green body color, usually caused by exposure to natural radiation. This gives the diamond its signature hue, which ranges from light green to deep olive or forest green.
Yes, green diamonds can occur naturally, although many on the market are treated to enhance color. At Rêve Diamonds, we only sell GIA-certified natural green diamonds with verified, untreated origins.
Most fancy diamonds get their color from trace elements like nitrogen (yellow) or boron (blue). Green diamonds are different — their color results from natural radiation, and often appears on the stone’s surface rather than throughout.
Yes. Natural green diamonds are particularly valuable when they show even, deep color and come with GIA certification confirming their untreated status. Their rarity and unique appearance make them highly collectible.
Absolutely. Green diamonds offer a fresh, elegant alternative to more traditional stones. Their soft, organic hue pairs beautifully with white gold or platinum and works well in modern or vintage-inspired settings.
Always request a GIA certificate. It will confirm if the green color is naturally formed or artificially enhanced. Since treated green diamonds are more common, proper certification is essential for authenticity.
Natural green diamonds — especially those with even color and no treatments — are increasingly sought after by collectors and investors. Their rarity, uniqueness, and market appeal make them a smart long-term choice.
Green diamonds are durable, like all diamonds, but valuable natural stones should be treated with care. Use a soft brush and mild soap to clean. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners. Have your jewelry checked annually by a professional.
