We offer a huge variety of diamonds, certified on the basis of the cut, clarity and diamond color. Our collections of colorless, black and fancy colored diamonds are available in myriad diamond color. All items offered at our site have been graded and certified by the finest laboratories of the world. We follow the diamond color grades standardized by the GIA and EGL. Diamond color in a colorless white diamond refers to the inclusion of yellowish or brownish hues of the crystal. As it is formed in the bosom of the earth, often impurities and chemicals taint its whiteness. Diamond color may be a result of contact with external bodies or chemical during the creation process. These impurities result in giving a crystal yellow or brown shade. In fact the Gemological Institute of  America (GIA) classifies low saturation yellow and brown diamond color, in the normal color range, and applies a grading scale from 'D' (colorless) to 'Z' (light yellow). Flawless white stones are very rare; they are more valued as they allow maximum refraction of light resulting in unbelievable brilliance.Diamond color may be affected by chemical impurities and/or structural defects in the crystal composition. The color inclusion, depending on the intensity may either increase or decrease the value of a diamond. Faint diamond colors, that mar the whiteness of the colorless  diamonds are considered low grade. On the contrary, if the intensity of the same hue is higher and uniform, the value of such diamonds is far more than their flawless white counterparts. For instance intense blue or vivid pink diamond color, being extremely rare, may be valued fifty percent more than its best graded colorless counterpart.
Diamonds are available in almost all colors and shades. More than 300 myriad diamond colors have been identified so far, varying from black, blue, red, yellow, green gray and brown. Red, pink, intense yellow, brown, or any other colors are called fancy color diamonds. We have a magnificent spectrum of diamond color, in a vast variety of shapes and sizes. |
