What are Color Diamonds and What Do they Mean?  

They say a diamond speaks to you. A diamond is one of the miracles in nature. A carbon particle turns out to be so valuable and a symbol of a lifetime of love and devotion. Along with its signs of love and devotion, every diamond has a unique colour that symbolizes various meanings. With unique coloured diamonds, you get a personality trait with it.

Mined diamonds or natural diamonds are found in various colours such as alluring blue, bright yellow, enchanting green, red and pink diamonds which are the rarest of them all. When you buy fancy coloured diamonds, it’s important to find one which embodies your personality. For more on colored diamonds and their meanings, here is a brief article from the New World Diamonds team.

The value of colour in diamonds

The value of a diamond is established with its colour. Every colorued diamond is placed in a certain range of colours which determined the value. The range represents how a diamond was found in nature at its origin. The more the desirable coloyr of the diamond, the more valuable it is.

How diamonds are graded for colours?

Colourless diamonds or white diamonds are graded from D to Z; D being colourless and Z represents a yellow tint. The more colourless a diamond, the more value it will have, and therefore the rarer it's within the selected colour range.

When a diamond is graded, the clarity should even be kept in consideration. The clarity of a diamond is set by the blemishes and internal characteristics of the diamond, which is merely visible underneath a 10X magnification. A diamond’s clarity will then be rated from Flawless to Included, with Flawless being the rarest of its kind.
