Diamond jewelry has long been treasured as a symbol of everlasting love and perfection. The fastest growing diamond market over the past few years has been that for fancy colored diamonds, the rarest and most under-rated of all nature’s gemstones. In fact, celebrity interest in fancy colored diamonds means that the most fashionable, chic pieces of fine jewelry currently contain fancy colored diamonds.

Some of the most famous and valuable diamonds in the world are fancy colored diamonds. They come in every shade of the rainbow. For every 10,000 carats of diamonds that are cut, just one carat may hold fancy color, making natural fancy colored diamonds truly rare.

However, most people have never even heard of colored diamonds, let alone seen intensely colored diamonds. This is because very few natural fancy colored diamonds are ever found, perhaps only about one in a million, so they are hardly ever promoted actively since market demand already exceeds supply.

Fancy colored diamonds are increasingly sought after for their beauty and their investment value. They share the same bright sparkle as white diamonds but the extra color dimension makes them especially desirable.

As they are so rare, colored diamonds are generally only available as small stones. This makes natural fancy colored diamonds the most valuable gemstones in the world.

Natural diamonds are pure crystalline carbon, which formed over millions of years deep in the earth’s crust. Whilst flawless diamonds are found, it is more common for naturally occurring features, know as internal inclusions, to be present. Natural fancy colored diamonds are much rarer and occur when tiny amounts of trace elements, such as nitrogen or boron are present, or if there are miniscule aberrations in the diamond’s perfect crystalline structure at the atomic-level. 

However this is not the only source of colored diamonds.  Black diamonds are known to be much older than white diamonds and the reason for this was unclear until 2006 when researchers published work proving that components of black diamonds originated in carbon based star explosions predating the formation of the Solar System!  Black diamond asteroids over 1KM in diameter are believed to have smashed into the Earth resulting in the highly localised black diamond deposits found today making black diamonds truely extraterrestrial!

Although white diamonds remain the most popular color, diamonds are found in almost every color of the rainbow. Natural red diamonds are undoubtedly the rarest; whilst green and blue diamonds are also exceptionally rare. And natural intense fancy yellow diamonds are so rare that most jewelers will probably never own one.

Most orange coloured diamonds have strong yellow or brown modifiers and champagne diamonds occur naturally in colors ranging from light straw to rich cognac. Pinks and blue fancy diamonds are probably the rarest of all the regularly traded fancy colors.

Because natural fancy colored diamonds are very rare, they command high prices, ranging from expensive to priceless. High prices and rarity has meant that the increasing demand for these beautiful gemstones is being increasingly met by enhancing, changing or intensifying the colors of, lesser colored diamonds by irradiation or heat treatment. Enhanced, or treated, diamonds are cheaper than naturally colored diamonds, are still very beautiful, and of course are still real mined diamonds!

Whereas white diamonds are graded according to their cut, carat, clarity and (lack of) color, fancy colored diamonds are graded according to their cut, carat, clarity and intensity of color saturation. As the shape and proportion of the gemstone are essential factors in maximising the beauty of color saturation, “cut” is perhaps even more important for fancy colored diamond than for near-colorless ones. In contrast, “clarity” is less important than for a white diamond since most colored diamonds contain some inclusions and the depth of color saturation often makes inclusions harder to see.

Fancy colored diamonds are particularly beautiful when combined in designs with white diamonds, although fancy solitaire rings are timelessly popular. Fancies are scarce commodities and demand for them is not just a whim of fashion but likely to stay.

Because fancy colored diamonds are very fashionable and each stone is unique, every piece of fancy diamond jewellery is distinctive. Fancy diamonds make a sublime statement in fine jewelry.

Diamond engagement rings are the traditional choice for engagement rings and, unlike Cocktail, or Right Hand (Dress) Rings are worn by a woman on the fourth finger of her left-hand, where the proud owner can flash the diamond engagement ring easily!

Diamond engagement rings represent a formal agreement to chastity and a future marriage; and true love and romance are symbolised in the giving and receiving of a diamond engagement ring. Diamond engagement rings represent a new beginning and what better way to start out on a future filled with new hopes and dreams than with a diamond engagement ring?

Because of their significance, searching for the perfect ring amongst the vast range of diamond engagement rings can be very stressful. There are many beautiful variations to choose from and options to consider, such as shape, size, settings… and cost! Affordable diamond engagement rings can look killingly beautiful, but you have to know where to buy!  We stock a huge range of mens wedding rings in many different styles & metals for wedding and anniversary.

When buying diamond engagement rings remember the price will largely be determined by the diamond itself rather than the setting. Diamonds are priced on the basis of their cut (shape), clarity (extent of inclusions, the fewer the more expensive the diamond), color (the nearer colorless the better unless you are buying a colored diamond), and carat (diamond weight).

There are a great variety of styles of diamond engagement rings too, so it is a matter of taste, lifestyle (and budget) to choose the perfect diamond engagement ring. The most popular setting for diamond engagement rings is still the traditional solitaire. However, new fashion styles in shape and settings add exciting dimensions to the classic solitaire design.

Tension and bezel shapes add interest to the basic round cut diamond, the use of princess cut and emerald cuts also make a solitaire more unusual. And different settings, such as the cathedral setting, the prong setting, the channel setting, and the bar setting can make a solitaire diamond engagement ring very special.

Diamond engagement rings should reflect a woman’s style. A peek into her jewelry box should help. If most of the items in there are in silver or white gold, she would probably prefer a diamond engagement ring set in 18k white gold or platinum rather than in 18k yellow gold.

Or if you are looking for something traditional yet not a solitaire, perhaps a three stone diamond engagement ring will fit the bill?

Three stone diamond engagement rings are a romantic choice for engaged couples because the trio of diamonds represents the past, present, and future of their relationship. In trilogy diamond engagement rings, the diamonds can be the same cut – princess, round, marquise or emerald – or the central diamond can be a different cut from the accenting two.

Platinum is a popular setting for diamond engagement rings because of its luxurious exclusivity as well as for its beauty and elegance. The sparkling natural white color of platinum enhances the brilliance of diamonds to make platinum diamond engagement rings irresistible pieces of jewelry for every woman.  And with durability comparable to that of diamonds themselves, a platinum diamond engagement ring is the perfect symbolism for everlasting love!

Whatever you choose, remember to keep in mind that diamond engagement rings are very special so make sure you pop the question with a diamond engagement ring in your hand!
