Pink Diamonds

You might be puzzling about what forms pink diamonds,actually, the colored diamonds have a chemical variation that affects how the stones reflect light, resulting in different hues. However, the colorless diamond is comprised of pure carbon.

Other elements, such as existing radiation during formation or twists in the crystal structure of the stone can also affect a diamond’s color. While gemologists are certain of what causes certain shades – boron, for example, creates blue stones – they haven’t yet discovered what creates pink shades. Pink is one of the rarest colors of diamonds, and commercial quality stones are only found in the Argyle Mine in Australia, making them even more mysterious and desirable.

Next you may ask“How is the quality of pink diamond? Will it be not so good as the colorless one?”According to the research,all diamonds, regardless of their specific color, are judged by their carat weight, cut proportions, purity of clarity, and overall color.

While most diamonds with a tinge of color are considered inferior and less valuable, an intense, consistent color is highly valued. That characteristic is one of the most prevalent when judging the quality of pink diamonds.

Pink stones are available in a range of hues, from a very light salmon to an intense, vibrant magenta. The deeper the color, the more valuable the stone and hence, the higher its price. The majority of pink stones are lighter shades, but because of their inherent rarity they still sell at a high price, up to ten times the cost of a colorless stone with similar quality.

All diamonds, regardless of their color, are subject to the same types of flaws and inclusions. Normally any flaw will decrease the value of a gem, but because of pink diamonds’ rarity, jewelers may manipulate the flaw to create a unique design – a starburst, for example – rather than discard the stone as unworkable. Ideally, however, the stone should be flawless to keep its unusual color.

Have you ever dream of a pink diamond ring? You are certainly to look more feminine and graceful with pink diamond ring on your delicate finger.Ever since Jennifer Lopez was given a pink engagement ring, these stones have become a fashion trend. Pink diamond engagement rings can be found in a variety of styles, settings, and designs, or if a couple is lucky enough to obtain a loose gem, most jewelers would welcome the opportunity to create a custom ring with the unusual shade.

To preserve the stone’s color, most colored diamond rings are set in white gold or platinum rather than yellow gold, which may cast a yellowish hue onto the stone. In the case of pink diamonds, simple settings accented by smaller colorless diamonds or coordinating gemstones are the most prevalent designs.

Pink diamonds are a rare but beautiful option for couples interested in unique diamond jewelry, including engagement rings. Though they are expensive, the sophistication and rarity of the gems has made them increasingly popular in today’s jewelry market.
