Welcome back to the Diamonds Hatton Garden blog where we bring you the latest from our Hatton Garden jewellers. Spring, nearly, is here and with it comes a change of season as life returns to the world around. More than ever we embrace the season of new beginnings (lockdown hopefully will be lifted) and we look towards the burst of colour that will soon be upon us. To celebrate, we share some suggestions and inspiration as to our fancy coloured diamonds.
What are fancy coloured diamonds?
Usually, when we think of diamonds, we think of precious clear or loose white diamonds that fall into the traditional colour grading of D -Z. Fancy colour diamonds, on the other hand, fall outside of this spectrum into their own unique grading system and, as the name suggests, are coloured. Available in a beautiful range of colours they are exceedingly rare and cherished.
Why choose a fancy coloured diamond?
Quite simply, fancy coloured diamonds are one of the most captivating gifts from nature. Natural fancy coloured diamonds, the result of various chemicals and elements present in their formation, are amazingly rare. Certain colours, as you can imagine, are rarer than others and it is this scarcity that makes them so treasured. Choosing a fancy coloured diamond, or a selection, is a statement of beauty. Elegant, timeless and enduring – they are the ultimate luxury.
How to choose a fancy coloured diamond
Like with all diamonds, it is important to firstly establish your preferences and price ideas. From there you can begin your brilliant journey to owning one of these exquisite gemstones and narrow down your option. Think of the use of the diamond, will they be set into a piece of jewellery or will they be safely and securely stored as an investment? As with all diamonds, carat weight, cut and colour and clarity are important. Differing from white diamonds, fancy coloured diamonds are graded as follows:: faint, very light, light, fancy light, fancy, fancy intense, fancy deep and fancy vivid. When buying a fancy coloured diamond you will notice that the more intense the colour, the higher the per carat price.
