Fancy diamonds are naturally colored diamonds that are rare and valuable. They can be yellow, green, blue, brown, orange, pink, or red. The intensity of the color is graded, and the cut, clarity, and carat weight are also important factors in determining their value. Most colored diamonds on the market are artificially colored. Fancy diamonds […]
Diamonds are the hardest natural substance, formed from pure carbon deep within the earth’s crust. They form at a depth of 90 miles and are brought to the surface by rare volcanic eruptions. Kimberlite is an indicator of their presence, but they can also be carried by glacial action. The majority of diamonds are mined […]
Yellow diamonds can be natural or synthesized in a lab, with nitrogen impurities causing the color. Fancy diamonds, including yellow, are graded for color intensity and cut. Some companies treat diamonds to enhance color, but true natural yellow diamonds are rare and expensive. Yellow diamonds are diamonds that have taken on a yellow hue, either […]
Diamonds are the hardest natural substance on Earth, measuring a 10 on the Mohs scale. Diamond cutters use techniques such as splitting and polishing with a scaif or diamond saw to create sparkling gems, with up to 60% of the stone’s weight being lost in the process. The oldest technique is splitting, while the scaif […]
Loose diamonds are becoming more popular as they can be configured into any piece of jewelry. The 4 C’s (Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat) determine the quality and cost of diamonds. Loose diamonds were the standard in the past and can be purchased online, but it’s best to view them in person. Diamonds are still […]
Synthetic diamonds are chemically identical to conventional diamonds, but are grown in a laboratory over several days. They have potential for higher quality, are used in industrial manufacturing, and are a great alternative for consumers concerned with conflict diamonds. They should not be confused with fake diamonds. Cultured or synthetic diamonds are gemstones that are […]
Man-made diamonds are chemically identical to mined diamonds and are created in a laboratory. The introduction of large, feasible artificially grown diamonds has sparked controversy about their impact on the diamond industry. There are two reliable methods of making artificial diamonds large enough for jewelry. They may also replace silicon in microchips. Man-made diamonds, although […]
