Fancy Diamond Formation Guide

Let the fluorescence of sparkling diamonds spread in colors…

Brown Diamonds

Lattice defects in the diamond formation may give natural diamonds a brown color in shades of champagne, chocolate, honey, cognac, hazel and clove.

Pink Diamonds

Distortion of crystal lattice due to excessive pressure and heat along with green light absorption imparts pink color to a natural diamond with a tinge of purple, orange and brown.

Red Diamonds

Crystal distortion may give strong hues to natural pink and red diamonds. Also found with the secondary hues such as purple & brown.

Orange Diamonds

When accumulated nitrogen patterns in natural diamonds absorb yellow and blue light, an orange-colored diamond is formed with complementary shades of red, yellow or brown.

Green Diamonds

Green diamonds are formed as a result of natural radiation causing absorption of red and yellow light and are often mixed with yellow, gray, blue and brown hues.

Yellow Diamonds

When accumulated nitrogen patterns in natural diamonds absorb only yellow light from the spectrum, we obtain a yellow diamond with modified orange, brown or green color.

Blue Diamonds

Boron and carbon atoms bonded in the presence of green, red and yellow light give rise to a blue-hued diamond with additional violet, green and gray shades.

Purple Diamonds

Crystal distortion, grain formation or inclusion of hydrogen gives purple diamonds their color with secondary shades of violet, pink and gray.

Black Diamond

The inclusion of graphite makes natural diamonds opaque & black in color. The presence of hydrogen & nitrogen atoms may also influence the color of black diamonds.
