FANCY COLOR DIAMOND
Rare • Precious • Captivating
Coloured diamonds weren't familiar or available until sixth-century India; actually, a grading system for coloured diamonds only emerged in that era. Representatives of different ranks, statuses, levels were allowed only to adorn diamonds of a specific colour; hence diamonds served as a badge of position in the society. All this were part of ancient India's system of class structure.
Rulers, priests, and people of high status in the system were allowed to own diamonds that weren't colourless. Warriors and Land Lords were allowed to wear "Brown Diamonds that resembled the colour of the eye of the hare", Merchants were granted permission only to own Yellow Diamonds. Members of the lower levels in the society were assigned diamonds with the black or greyish colour. Whiles Kings, however, were free to choose diamonds of any colour they preferred.
Apart from the traditional colourless sparkling diamonds, diamonds come in various colours, such as Red(rarest), yellow, brown, blue, green, pink, and more. Colourless natural diamonds are classified on the scale from D - Z. At the end of this range is where coloured natural diamonds fall (i.e. X-Y-Z range). In this range of colours, diamonds begin to show traces of yellowish or brownish tones. This is the start of the Fancy Yellow Diamond and Fancy Brown diamond scale.
Any diamond that has a strong presence of colour is known as a Fancy Coloured Diamond.
Fancy Coloured Natural Diamonds are much rarer compared to their white counterparts, highly sought after for their impeccable rich, beautiful, and sensation colours. They do fetch a premium price per carat weight due to high profile auctions, which is another factor in their immense awareness and cost.
