An innovative collection of Yellow diamonds

• The Yellow diamonds are the perfect ones for those who wish to own an affordable piece of fancy color diamond. These fancy Yellow diamonds are also called the Canary Diamonds.

• The Yellow Diamonds in fact take the credit for making fancy diamonds very popular and a common trend among so many people.

• This has been deduced with the help of the statistical data that was gathered about Yellow Diamonds. Now that we know what is a yellow diamond, let us delve deeper into the topic.

The affordable one:

• Yellow diamonds fall in to the color scale for white diamonds. The color scale runs like this from D to Z where D color is pure white and it is a continual scale going all the way through to Fancy vivid yellow diamonds.

• Thus diamonds on the start of the spectrum are completely white and have no trace of yellow while on the other end of the spectrum the diamonds are fully saturated with yellow and no hint of whiteness.

• Colored diamond are known to be quite are, so how rare are yellow diamonds? These yellow diamonds are comparatively more common than other colors like the Pink diamond. In fact the Pink Diamonds are extremely rare and do not fall within the color scale described above.

• The good thing about the commonality of the Yellow Diamonds as compared to the other fancy colors is that they are more affordable.

• In terms of the actual cost of the Natural Yellow diamonds there are few more variations.

• It actually depends largely on the modifying colors on the certificate. For example the brownish – yellow diamond with usually have a big discount, but a pure Yellow diamond will not and thus be higher priced.

• On the other had an orange – yellow diamond and the greenish – yellow diamond will be significantly higher priced than the pure yellow diamond.

Grading Fancy Color Diamonds:

• When it comes to Fancy color Diamonds the main issue is about color and not clarity.

• The GIA inclusion plot doesn’t really give you the whole picture. For example it is unable to tell if the diamond is a crystal or even about the translucent features of the diamond.

• A fancy diamond is not simply a fancy diamond and grading a fancy color diamond is more difficult a task than you can imagine. Furthermore each grade is not a simple point, it is in fact a range.

Buying a Yellow Diamond:

• The only correct way of choosing a Natural Fancy Yellow Diamond is to do it in person. It is possible that you may be persuaded in to buying a particular quality but it is best to consult an expert if you are unsure what fits you best.

• The certificate may say many things, but when it comes to buying one it is essential to see it up front before making the final decision.

• Choosing a Yellow Diamond and making sure you have the right decision as far as the quality, cost and genuinely is concerned can be tough.

But here are a few facts about yellow diamonds to put your mind at ease.

Carat:

• Carat refers to the weight of the diamond. The may it measures is that one carat is equal to 0.2 grams. Thus that means 142 carats equals to 1 ounce.

• Points are used for the diamonds and 1 carat is equal to 100 points, thus half a carat is 50 points.

Color:

• The actual visible tint of the colored diamond is referred to as the color. The worldwide color scale has been derived by GIA (The Gemological Institute of America).

• It starts with D and goes up to Z and even beyond to more fancy and vivid colors.

• In general the fancy color diamonds being sold in retail stores are below Z on the color scale. On the other hand the colorless diamonds are different, they are rare fancy color diamonds which command high prices.

Clarity:

• A fancy yellow diamond should be free of blemishes and inclusions but there may some blemishes present on the diamond. However the degree to which the diamond is free of these problems is considered it’s clarity.
• The imperfections in the diamonds are referred to as the inclusions. Many of the inclusions are caused when the diamond is found, though some may also be formed during the cutting process.
• The inclusions are not of fixed nature since diamonds are found in the nature and not created by man. Thus at times diamonds with inclusions of some kind can command a high value since that would be extremely rare.
• In general in the diamond industry the clarity of the diamonds vary from low ends diamonds to the high ends ones which are absolutely flawless.

• Slightly Included (SI): The term ‘slightly included‘ refers to the yellow diamonds that under 10x magnification have noticeable or fairly noticeable inclusions, but are over all appear clean to the eye. Thus as the name suggest the term “Eye Clear” means when you hold a diamond in your hand and look at it without magnification and do not see any inclusions. This is usually considered a good quality diamond.

• Very Slightly included (VS): The term ‘VS – Very slightly included’, refers to the diamonds where the inclusions are noticeable by an expert at under 10x magnification, but they are minor and small. With such diamonds in general the inclusions will not be visible unless they are pointed out to you by an expert and thus these are also considered high quality diamonds.

• VVS (Very Very Slightly included): The diamonds that have extremely small inclusions and that are extremely difficult for even skilled experts to detect under a 10x magnification are graded as VVS. These are more or less of extremely high quality and as it happens the statistics show that only approximately 1% of all the diamonds achieve this grade.

• IF (Internally Flawless): As the name suggest, these kind of diamonds are classified as being free of any imperfection under a 10x magnification. Since this is extremely rate the price is high too in fact it is very expensive.

Cut:

• It is common knowledge that the diamonds found in the nature are cut into some shape or the other. However there are many different theories pertaining to what is the ideal diamond cut that displays its true brilliance.

• The AGS (American Gem Society) has developed with a ‘cut grade’ according to which the diamonds fall into a range between 0 to 10. As per the AGS cut grades, the grade 0 is extremely rare and thus cost more as well. Although every fine cut diamonds are graded as AGS 1 and AGS 2 grades, they too are rare and exhibit great brilliance.

Fancy Cuts:

• The diamonds are cut into fancy shapes and such fancy shaped diamonds are usually not symmetrical. For example they may be round, emerald, pear etc.

• If the diamond is cut well in any one of these shapes it has the potential of producing outstanding brilliance.

• It is likely that you have come across the term ‘Certified Diamond’ and may be wondering what does it mean when they say that their Yellow Diamond is certified.

• A certified diamond is effectively a diamond that has been submitted to either EGL or FIA for the analysis of the quality.

• These labs grade the diamonds based on the color and the clarity and even make precise measurements of the diamond.

• The main advantage of a certified diamond is that a consumer can use the detailed information present in the certificate to compare two different diamonds without actually even being anywhere near the diamonds themselves. This can be of great use to those interested in colored diamond investment.

Guildhall Diamonds:

It is often the case that the diamonds buyers have no or limited knowledge regarding the many facts about diamonds. While many tend to do some research prior to making an expensive purchase (like buying the diamond) it can hardly compare with the many years of experience that can be provided by Guild Hall Diamonds. In addition to which they also offer assistance and help while grading the diamonds.

A brief introduction to Red Diamonds

• Red Diamond is a one of the many colored diamonds available. What few know about the red diamonds is that it is one of the most rarest natural diamonds around.

• The natural diamonds are found in many different colours as well like pink, blue yellow and even green.

• These diamonds are also referred to as Fancy Red Diamonds. To give you a brief how rare these red diamonds are there was a study recently published which mentioned that there were only 50 red diamonds known to exist so far.

What is a Red Diamond?

• Diamonds can be found in many different colours of the spectrum off which yellow is the one that is more common and Red is the rarest. They are found mainly in Africa, Australia and Brazil.

• The Natural Red diamonds are unique as well besides being rare. There is often a deformation in the atomic structure of this rock better known as the plastic deformation and that is what creates this red colour. As for the various other colour diamonds, they are formed as a result of impurities like nitrogen an borono.

• The red diamonds also have several properties that are quite unique. For example if light is allowed to pass through the irregular lattice the unusual bending light causes the diamonds to reflect a ruby like colour.

• Red diamonds are the kind of diamonds that appear different in different lighting environments. However they look different in various lighting environments.

• The grading of the diamonds is also important from a buyers perspective. The grading is done by the intensity of their colour and range from dark pink to purplish red. The value of the diamond is higher if the hue is stronger.

Natural and Synthetic Red Diamond:

• Coloured diamonds are a big trend in the jewellery design. However since the natural coloured diamonds are hard to come and are quite rare they are also man-made besides being naturally found. While the natural fancy colored diamonds are very rare and thus fetch a very high price.

• The natural diamonds are formed in nature in many different ways. The natural red diamonds are formed by the atomic deformation.

• The fancy coloured diamonds can also be man-made in labs. The man-made fancy red diamonds are usually synthetic. Such diamonds are completely made in the lab to simulate the properties of a real diamond.

• These diamonds too are made from carbon (just like the real thing). The synthetic diamonds do not take very long to develop in the lab too. However the natural ones can take up to thousands of years to be formed.

• The synthetic diamonds are very close to the real thing. In fact it is almost impossible to detect a fake with the naked eye. A special high tech equipment needs to be used to detect the subtle differences in the crystal formations within the stones.

• The treated or synthetic diamonds are very appealing since there price is low and the uniformity of colour is very evident. However such diamonds have no resale value. Hence such diamonds are not suitable for investment purposes.

• Only natural diamonds are suitable for investment purposes and if purchased you should make sure you obtain the certificate for it. This certificate should mention the origin of the stone and the natural origin of the stone colour too.

• The colourless (white) diamonds are graded based on the cut, carat, clarity and colour. The same is not true for coloured diamonds. The coloured diamonds a valued based on three main characteristics like hue, tone and saturation.

• The hue refers more towards the dominant colour of the stone. The tone is to do with the light within the stone and lastly the saturation which refers to the intensity of the hue.

The different Red Diamond shapes:

When referring to the shape of the diamond you will find that it is usually called the “cut” of the diamond. Te diamond manufacturers take a rough stone (diamond) and cut it into a faceted gemstone. This process requires highly skilled equipment, tools, aptitude and knowledge. The diamond maker also assess the karat weight of the diamond and its internal or external inclusions. There are several different shapes available:

• Round Diamond: The round diamond is the most popular choice amongst the customers. This shape is also known as the brilliant cut. The round diamond brings out the 58 facets, which is one of the best feature of the diamond.

• Princess Cut Diamond: This is a square cut diamond contrary to what the name suggests. They are designed for maximum brilliance and should ideally be set in at least four prong setting to be on the safe side. Since this one is one big slab (square shape), it tends to make you feel really royal, hence the name ‘Princess Cut Diamond’

• Asscher Diamond: The Asscher cut was introduced by the Asscher Brothers way back in 1902 in Holland and has been recently become popular once again. It is hybrid cut being a cross between the princess and emerald cut diamonds.

• Emerald Diamond: The Emerald cut as you may have guessed has a lot to do with emerald gemstones. Inspired by the emerald gemstones, this cut gives a dramatic light flash when combined with a nice setting that enables light to capture the diamond.

• Pear Shaped Diamond: This shape is a cross between the round and the marquise shape and is also often called a teardrop diamond. The diamond is cut is such a method that one side remains pointed while the other is round.

• Marquise Diamond: The marquise diamonds are designed such that they are almost in a shape of a kayak. Their two ends are pointed and the middle section is wide. When cut perfectly, the marquise diamond pick up light from almost all directions, thus providing a unusual and wonderful effect.

• Cushion Cut Diamond: There was a time when the Cushion cut diamonds were exclusive to estate auctions, however they are back in fashion now and available in modern jewellery stores. It is also called the miner’s cut and was used extensively a long time ago when the technology wasn’t so advanced. The shape of the cushion cut diamond is quite deceptive. It may appear an oval to some or an elongated rectangle with rounded corners to others. The fact that it has fewer facets means that it sparkles lesser as compared to the other diamond shapes.

• Oval Diamond: The round diamond is called the brilliance diamond, although the oval diamond also come close to having equal amount of brilliance. Resembling the shape of an egg, this diamond offers plenty of sparkle. It can either be long and narrow or wider and stout. However the certificate that accompanies each diamond will have the length to width ratio mentioned in perfect figures. This is a comparatively recent shape which was introduced in the early 1960’s.

• Heart Shaped Diamond: As the name does strongly suggest, this diamond is the preferred choice for the more romantically inclined. It is considered a fancy shape diamond. Unlike the process of other shapes this cutting process of this diamond is slightly more complicated and required highly skilled cutter. Hence this affects the price as well making this shape diamonds more expensive. That is also one of the reasons that heart shaped diamonds are usually not very big.

• Radiant Diamond: This is a cross between the round diamond and the Asscher cut. Radiant is designed such that it has maximum fire. It does a great job of catching the light that it is impossible to miss it. It is very unique and that is one of the reasons why it is special. Besides which it is one of the new shapes options for the consumers.

Selecting a shape is one thing ( that usually depends on the purpose or choice) and placing it correctly is another. There are many different styles for setting the diamond so that it can be displayed correctly, maximising the effect of all its properties. Some of the popular types for setting the diamond include prong style, bezel, tension setting, channel, bar, etc. Thus it is wise not to have a preference for style but to select the style that will showcase your rock in the best manner.

All about Purple Diamonds

• Natural Purple diamonds are formed as a result of the plastic deformation of a diamond’s crystal structure. This is very similar to how the red diamonds are formed.

• The purple diamonds share many characteristics and properties with the red diamonds. They too are very rare and thus come at a very high price as well.

Purple diamonds are rare diamonds found in many different parts of the world. Some of the more popular places in which natural colored diamonds are found are Australia, Africa and Brazil.

The second popular purple diamond is the Supreme Purple Heart Diamond. But don’t be fooled by the name, this is in fact a round brilliant cut diamond. It is believed to have been found in the Amazon basin over 30 years ago.

The diamond is unique in it’s characteristics. This is one diamond that appears deep purple when viewed from one angle and deep red when viewed from another.

Several natural purple diamonds were found in 2008. In fact exactly 9 purple stones (diamonds) where found in a new diamond source at MetalexVentures, Dianor. To give a brief picture of the rareness of this purple diamond off the 649 diamonds found so far from this site only 9 were purple.

The Fancy Purple diamonds are extremely hard to find and the ones that are found often are lightly shaded with hints of pink, red, blue, gray or even brown. This results in a slight tinting and lowering the overall quality of the diamond.

Australia is one of the more popular places where the Purple diamonds are found; although there are several other new sites where it can be found.

The many shapes of the Purple Diamond:

The shape of a diamond is often referred to the “cut” of the diamond. The process of cutting a diamond into a specific shape requires great skill, some more than others .
