Other Diamond Colors
Green Diamond
Pure green diamonds are very rare since their natural green color comes from exposure to irradiated particles over eons of time. With perhaps only one new green being introduced to the market each year pure green stones are more highly valued than the yellowish green or green-yellows.
Other Diamond Colors
Orange Diamond
It is so rare that an orange diamond receive a color grading of pure orange, that many collectors have never seen one. More common, yet hardly abundant, are orange diamonds with a color modifier such as brown or yellow. Prized for their beauty and rarity, orange diamonds are one of the most sought after colors by prominent collectors.
Other Diamond Colors
Purple Diamond
Often confused with a secondary color violet, purple is a dominant and rare hue in nature and color diamonds. As purple color is correlated to internal grain formation, the cut is exceedingly important to color release. So rare are these pure purples, there has yet to be revealed a large, historically important pure purple diamond.
Other Diamond Colors
Olive Diamond
Often confused with the green family, olive occupies a distinct, separate 3 dimensional color space adjacent to green. Bordered in this space by grey, black, brown, yellow and green, pure olive stones often have one or more of these modifiers to impart true uniqueness to its hue.
Other Diamond Colors
Black Diamond
The depths of a natural black diamond are almost hypnotic as light absorption is almost complete and the play of light retained is most unique. With a very large range of modifying colors, collectors prize them and fashion jewelry is only now beginning to appreciate their special qualities.
Other Diamond Colors
Red Diamond
Red Diamonds are the rarest of the fancy color diamonds. In fact, they are so rare in nature that most jewelers and diamond dealers have never even seen a natural red diamond. The world's largest red diamond is known as the Red Shield, and weighs "only" 5.11 carats, compared with over 600 carats for the largest diamond of any kind.
Other Diamond Colors
White Diamond
The name "white" was used for centuries to describe apparent color of colorless stones but true white diamonds do have a true milky white inherent color and a translucent milky white apparent color. Pure whites with no secondary colors are truly rare and highly esteemed by dealers and collectors.
Other Diamond Colors
Grey Diamond
As a blending of black and white, grey is a non-spectral color that makes all others possible. In pure form, grey color diamonds are flinty in appearance and to an untrained eye, can come quite close to colorless stones. But they are a highly prized rarity and offer also a wondrous range of modifying color combinations.
