Fancy Colored Diamonds Introduction
Fancy colored diamonds are formed when different elements mix into the carbon atom structure of the diamond, altering its color. Since colored diamonds attract more attention than transparent diamonds, they are highly favored by many diamond enthusiasts.
FAQs About Lab Grown Fancy Colored Diamonds
Q1. Are all cultured diamonds standardized in terms of color?
A: Many customers misunderstand that lab grown fancy colored diamonds, being grown under controlled conditions, have perfect color control and standardization. This is not correct. Cultured diamonds grow naturally in a synthetic environment, so each diamond is unique. Finding a cultured diamond with pure color requires large amount of luck.
Q2. Should we be concerned about fluorescence in cultured diamonds?
While most people pay attention to fluorescence when purchasing diamonds (colorless diamonds), considering it as a factor that may lower their value, but when it comes to colored diamonds, fluorescence can sometimes be a positive attribute. Colored diamonds with fluorescence are often valued more because the fluorescence enhances the color's saturation. Therefore, diamonds with fluorescence can even be more popular in some cases.
