The 4’Cs of Coloured Diamonds 

Cut, carat, colour, and clarity determine the quality and sparkle of your diamond jewellery. But, for coloured diamonds, colour is king!

Let's talk about how each C impacts the value and beauty of your treasured gem: 

Cut

Coloured diamonds are a bit of an exception when it comes to cut. Unlike colourless diamonds, where the cut is a top priority, coloured diamonds put colour centre stage. Don't get us wrong, cut still matters - but its main job is to bring out the diamond's amazing colour.

Think of a cut as the perfect frame for a stunning piece of art. It enhances the colour's intensity and distribution, making it pop. And that's why coloured diamond cut grades are different from colourless ones. The goal is no longer just about sparkle, but about showcasing that gorgeous colour.

Colour

Coloured diamonds are a colourful bunch! To grade them, experts compare their hues to special colour charts in top labs like the GIA or IGI. This helps categorise them from Faint to Fancy Deep.

So, what colours can you find? The rarest ones are red, followed by green, purple, orange, pink, blue and yellow. You can even spot black diamonds, white, or grey! But what makes one coloured diamond more valuable than another is its intensity and hue. For example, a vibrant pink diamond will be way more valuable than a pale one. And if you find a diamond with two colours, like greenish-blue, it's unique but not as pricey as a single-colour diamond.

Carat

When it comes to coloured diamonds, carat weight works the same way as for colourless diamonds. One carat equals 0.2 grams or 200 milligrams with bigger carats being rarer and more valuable. But note this in the case of coloured diamonds: size matters, but colour matters more! For example: a 1-carat Fancy Vivid blue diamond is worth exponentially more than a 5-carat Faint Yellow diamond!

In other words, when shopping for coloured diamonds, prioritise the colour that speaks to you – and the carat weight will be the icing on the cake.

Clarity 

Again, clarity isn't everything. Look for the intensity of the Colour. Plus, coloured diamonds can hide inclusions better than colourless diamonds. For example, a yellow diamond's vibrant hue can mask imperfections that would be visible in a colourless diamond.

Treatments 

When it comes to coloured diamonds, some get their vibrant hues from approved treatments. Methods like High Pressure, High Heat, Irradiation, and Surface Coating can transform a diamond's appearance. However, always look for the lab report, which will reveal if the diamond has been treated and how. This way, you know exactly what you're getting. Treated diamonds sparkle with their own unique beauty and can add an extra layer of flair to your outfit, often at a lower price point than naturally coloured diamonds. Ultimately, choosing a coloured diamond is a personal decision, driven by style, budget, and individual taste. So, whether you opt for a treated or natural diamond, find the one that makes your heart skip a beat.
