Diamond is a lovely precious gemstone prized and coveted for its beauty and durability. It is the world’s hardest known natural material. White or colourless diamonds are the traditional and the most desirable diamond colour. However diamonds are not only colourless, rather they are available in a wide range of hues. A "fancy coloured” diamond is a natural diamond that has colour.
Fancy coloured diamonds can either be natural or treated. These diamonds get colour from different trace elements present in the stones. Natural diamonds with intense colours are very rare and therefore highly prized. Argyle diamond mine in Australia is the main source if coloured diamonds. The famous fancy coloured diamonds are:
1) Champagne Diamonds- They are also known as ‘cognac’ or ‘brown’ diamonds. The colour comes from the deformation of the lattice structure while the diamond is formed from heat and pressure and trace amounts of impurities. They are light brown or yellow with a touch of brown. They may have hints of pink or green in them, making them a cinnamon diamond or a clove diamond.
2) Red Diamonds- They are one of the rarest and the most valuable of all fancy diamonds. They are found in different shades like brownish red, orange red and purple red. Argyle mines in Australia deliver 90-95% of the red diamonds, while they have also been discovered in Africa and Brazil.
3) Green Diamonds- Natural Green Diamonds are exceptionally rare and valuable. They derive their colour from exposure to natural radiation. The most famous of the green diamond family is the Dresden Diamond. The green diamond is sometimes called “the chameleon diamond” because it color can change so dramatically.
4) Blue Diamond- The blue diamond gets its colour from the boron in its composition. Their colour may range from faint to a very deep blue. "Hope Diamond” is the largest deep blue diamond. They are found in Australia, Brazil, Borneo, Central African Republic, and Guyana.
5) Pink Diamonds- It is the most precious of all coloured diamonds. Natural pink diamonds vary in hue from purplish pink to orange pink. They are said to be the ultimate symbols of love.
6) Yellow Diamonds- They are also known as Canary Diamonds. The colour of these diamonds varies from dark to light yellow. Most naturally found yellow diamonds are mined in Africa, South America, and Australia. These stones are the most affordable diamonds and are becoming more and more popular because of their warm colouring.
7) Black Diamonds- have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their unique colour, low prices and fashionable appearance.

People nowadays prefer to go for certificated diamonds rather than non-certified ones as it provides them with security and confidence about their purchase. A certificate is nothing but a diamond grading report issued by an accredited gem lab. It provides the exact details of the diamond like its weight, measurement, cut, quality, inclusions or flaws present. It describes all the individual characteristics of the stone. Diamonds are graded based on the four C’s- colour, cut, clarity and carat. Certificates also serve as proof of the diamond's identity and value.
To be precise a certified diamond is the one that has been tested graded by a team of independent fully trained gemologists who after that issues a diamond certificate for that particular diamond.
There are a number of independent diamond classification laboratories available for the purpose. GIA (Gemological Institute of America), AGS (American Gem Institute), IGI (International Gemological Institute), DCLA (Diamond Certification Laboratory of Australia), HRD (Hoge Raad Voor Diamant, the Diamond High Council) and EGL (European Gemological Laboratory)to name a few. GIA certified diamonds are considered to be the best ones. All these are internationally recognized authorities.
These grading labs have their own methods and criteria to grade diamonds and works on a high set of parameters for the classification. Certified diamonds are considered to be a good investment prospect and if anytime you are willing to sell it, the certificate is enough to say it all about the diamond quality. It is a tangible, legal assurance of the nature and quality of the diamond you are purchasing.
Certified diamonds possess beauty and pedigree. Buying it make you an informed customer about your purchase. You can compare two certified diamond based on their grading, which becomes difficult with non certified diamonds.
Natural Diamonds are also known as mined diamonds. These are the ones that are obtained from under the ground and not fabricated in a lab. Natural Diamonds were formed many years ago and are very rare and valuable. They are far more valuable than synthetic diamonds.
Natural diamonds are made of carbon that is crystallized under extreme heat and pressure deep under the Earth's surface. Both colourless and fancy diamonds are found naturally. While colourless diamonds are 100% carbon, fancy diamonds get their hues when some other mineral comes in contact with this colourless carbon. Therefore a large sized coloured diamond is not an easy thing to find as the whole process is rare. They are formed almost 200 km below the surface of the earth. These natural diamonds can be over a billion years in age.
These diamonds look exquisite set in jewellery accessories like rings, earrings, pendants, bracelets and necklaces.
