Diamond4all - The best way to buy a diamond

Natural colored diamonds come in all shades, hues and colors of the rainbow, with some of the most popular colors being shades and combinations of pink, blue, brown, yellow, orange, green and red. They are generally smaller than other diamonds and are used primarily in fashion jewelry. Yellow is the most commonly-occurring fancy color, while red, blue and green diamonds are extremely rare.

What are the prices for a fancy color ?

Fancy color diamonds are graded in two ways. The first factor considered is the stone's basic hue, such as pink, yellow, blue, green, etc. The second is the diamond's intensity. Both color characteristics form the basis for determining a fancy colored diamond's worth. Usually, the more intense the color, the rarer and more expensive the diamond will be.

Like other diamonds, fancy colored diamonds achieve maximum brilliance when cut to the most ideal and accurate proportions. A good cut gives a
fancy diamond its sparkle and helps to bring out the most intense color possible. When cutting color diamonds, the cutter usually considers its inclusions, because they can enhance the diamond's color. Facets and angles also add color to a diamond, so the cutter must think about what shape would bring out the gemstone's best appearance.
