Buying a Fancy Coloured Diamond
Whether you are buying for investment or jewellery, fancy-coloured diamonds are quite a complex process that takes greater skill and consideration than white diamonds. Each fancy-coloured diamond is revered for its beauty and much of the market price is based on the purity and attractiveness of the individual diamond’s colour. Unlike colourless diamonds where the on-paper certification details are enough to understand what is being purchased. Coloured diamonds rely predominantly on the visual appeal of the grading along with accurate and reputable certification to understand and compare prices.
How are Coloured Diamonds Graded
The specific colour of a diamond is graded on three points, tone, hue and saturation to make up the grade and final value. Tone is the main or dominant colour attribute of pink, green, blue, yellow, brown, purple, red, black or orange. A diamond with a pure tone is often the most desirable and commands the most exclusive price. Some diamonds can also be an even mix of two tones. The Hue refers to the introduction or mix of secondary colours into the base tone of the diamond. Being formed in nature and exposed to different environmental conditions colours will rarely be consistent and can only be controlled and enhanced through skilled cutting techniques. The secondary diamond colours are referred to in the certificate description as “greenish” or Yellowish”.
Saturation is a description of the strength of the tone and hue of a diamond, graded from faint, light, fancy, intense, dark, deep to vivid.

What Makes a Fancy-Coloured Diamond
There are many diamonds in the colour spectrum with around 80% of all diamonds containing some form of colouration. However, only a very small percentage of these will be considered to be of a fancy grade. Colour in a diamond is a natural occurrence and can be caused by several types of impurities or atomic disruption. Colour is based on the tone, purity or hue and the saturation level of the colour. What makes the diamond fancy is the appeal of these alterations to give the diamond a bright and pretty appearance. Some coloured diamonds, primarily black, brown and yellow are relatively common and inexpensive and can be purchased in larger sizes but all of the other attractive fancy colours are very rare and expensive, with a red diamond often described as beyond rare.
Lab-grown Coloured Diamonds
With the majority of coloured diamonds being beyond affordability, the introduction of lab-grown fancy-coloured diamonds in brilliantly perfect tones of yellow, pink and blue as well as orange, green and red varieties has made colours accessible and affordable to everyone. Not only are lab-grown coloured diamonds great value, but they are also more vibrant and brilliant than the natural alternative. Availability is quite high but in most circumstances, the best way to find the right lab-grown coloured diamond for sale is to discuss your options with one of our consultants and directly order the exact diamond from our factory.
Irradiated Coloured Diamonds
The first method of permanently colouring diamonds was irradiation treatment. This involves exposing specific colours of relatively unattractive natural diamonds to radiation, altering the atomic structure of the diamond resulting in an attractive fancy coloured diamond. After years of experimentation, exact colours throughout the spectrum can be made on request in all intensities to provide unique colour varieties for buyers who prefer to still own a natural diamond.
