Origins of Color Diamonds

Origins of Color Diamonds

Natural fancy color diamonds are formed in the same way as their colorless counterparts. Intense pressure and heat, deep below the earth’s surface working for millions of years lead to crystallization of carbon molecules into these fancy stones. On rare occasions, other elements or radiations also affect the natural color of diamonds.

The presence of nitrogen usually gives a diamond a yellow or orange hue; boron imparts many shades of blue; and hydrogen produces violet colors. Tremendous pressures on a diamond can compress its structure causing red, pink, purple or brown stones. Natural radiation can give them a green hue.

Natural fancy color diamonds are found all over the world, including Australia, Africa, South America and Africa.

Natural Color Diamonds Meaning

The word diamond comes from the Greek word “adamas” meaning ‘unconquerable’. Diamonds are the hardest natural substance known to man. They can be cut or polished only by other diamonds. Ancient Romans thought that whoever wore a diamond on his or her left arm would become braver and more daring. The April birthstone has long been associated with courage, strength and fortitude.
