NATURAL FANCY VIOLET COLORED DIAMONDS
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 violet diamonds stand out for their enchanting, silvery-lavender appearance and unmatched rarity. These exquisite diamonds are among the scarcest in the world and are considered both romantic and collectable.
One of the most iconic violet diamonds ever found is the “Argyle Violet” — a remarkable 2.83-carat oval-cut stone discovered in Australia, and one of the rarest fancy colored diamonds ever unearthed.
VIOLET DIAMONDS
Fancy violet diamonds are unlike any other colored diamond. Their soft yet intense color is typically caused by the presence of hydrogen within the diamond’s crystal lattice, occasionally mixed with other elements to produce unique tonal variations.
Unlike most diamonds, which reflect light for brilliance and sparkle, violet diamonds exhibit a gentle, silky glow and an understated elegance. Their mysterious and luxurious tone makes them a sought-after choice for collectors and refined jewelry lovers.
Though among the rarest fancy colors, violet diamonds are often found in small carat sizes and frequently include secondary tones like gray or blue. High-quality violet diamonds with strong saturation and minimal color modifiers are especially prized.
GRADING NATURAL FANCY COLORED 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. While the standard GIA intensity scale (ranging from Faint to Fancy Deep) applies to violet diamonds, their grading also depends on:
- Whether the color is natural or treated
- Evenness of color throughout the stone
- Surface quality and polish
- Overall visual impact and color balance

Frequently Asked Questions About Fancy Violet Colored Diamonds
-What is a fancy violet diamond?
A fancy violet diamond is a rare natural diamond with a violet hue caused primarily by hydrogen in the crystal structure. These stones are admired for their soft, romantic tones and extreme rarity.
-Are violet diamonds natural?
Yes, violet diamonds do occur naturally, though they are extremely rare. At Rêve Diamonds, we only offer natural fancy violet diamonds that are GIA-certified to confirm their untreated origin and authenticity.
-How are violet diamonds different from other fancy colored diamonds?
Most fancy diamonds derive color from elements like nitrogen or boron. Violet diamonds, however, owe their color to structural changes caused by hydrogen. Their tone is usually cooler and more muted than pink or purple diamonds.
-Are fancy violet diamonds valuable?
Yes. Natural violet diamonds are some of the rarest and most valuable colored diamonds available. Their worth increases significantly when they exhibit intense, even color with minimal gray or blue modifiers.
-Are violet diamonds a good choice for engagement rings?
Absolutely. Violet diamonds offer a subtle yet luxurious alternative to traditional stones. Their gentle color complements platinum, white gold, and rose gold beautifully, making them perfect for elegant ring settings.
-How can I tell if a violet diamond is natural or treated?
Always request a GIA certificate. It will confirm whether the diamond’s color is natural or the result of treatment. Because violet diamonds are rare, certification is essential to ensure authenticity.
-Are violet diamonds a good investment?
Natural violet diamonds — especially those with vivid, untreated color — are becoming increasingly desirable among collectors and investors. Their rarity and elegance make them a smart addition to any gemstone portfolio.
-How should I care for a violet diamond?
Violet diamonds are durable and suitable for everyday wear, but as with any fine gemstone, care is essential. Clean them with mild soap and a soft brush, and avoid ultrasonic cleaners. Periodically have your setting checked.
