Diamond Color
Diamonds have a variety of colors, some of the diamonds that are very valuable and very expensive have colors such as pink (blue), blue, and even yellow. But in white diamonds, the presence of yellow will reduce the price of diamonds. The less color that is in the white Diamond, the more true the color will reflect, and thus the greater the value.
A diamond is pure and perfectly structural, transparent without color, or color. However, in reality almost no natural diamond-sized gems are truly perfect. Diamond color may be affected by chemical impurities and / or structural defects in the crystal lattice. Depending on the color and intensity of the color of the diamond, the color of the diamond can either reduce or increase the value. For example, most white diamonds are discounted in price when more yellow hues are detected, while intense pink or Blue Diamonds (like Hope Diamond) can be dramatically more valuable. Of all colored diamonds, the rarest red diamonds.
The majority of diamonds are mined in a variety of pale yellow or brown colors called normal color ranges. Intense yellow diamonds or brown, or other colors called fancy color diamonds. A very high purity diamond is completely colorless, and looks bright white. The extent to which diamonds show the color of diamonds is one of the four value factors in which diamonds are measured.

Diamond extraction from primary deposits (kimberlites and lamproites) began in the 1870s after the discovery of Diamond Fields in South Africa. Production has increased over time and now the accumulated amount of 4,500,000,000 carats (900,000 kg) has been mined since that year. Twenty percent of this amount has been mined in the past five years, and in the last 10 years, nine new mines have begun production; Four more are waiting to be opened soon. Most of these mines are located in Canada, Zimbabwe, Angola and one in Russia.
In the United States diamonds have been found in Arkansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Montana. In 2004, the discovery of microscopic diamonds in the U.S. resulted in sampling of bulk bulk kimberlite in remote parts of Montana. The Crater Diamonds State Park in Arkansas is open to the public, and is the only mine in the world where community members can dig diamonds.
At present, most of the Diamond deposits worth trading are in Russia (mostly in the Sakha Republic, for example the Udachnaya Mir and pipeline pipes), Botswana, Australia (Northern and Western Australia) and the Democratic Republic of Congo. In 2005, Russia produced almost one-fifth of global diamond output, according to the British Geological Survey. Australia offers the richest diamantiferous pipeline, with production from the Argyle diamond mine reaching a peak rate of 42 metric tons per year in the 1990s. There are also commercial deposits that are actively mined in the Northwestern Region of Canada and Brazil.

Colorless
Although there are color differences between D, E and F diamonds, they can be detected only with gemologists on the side by side comparison, and rarely by untrained eyes. Diamond D, F can only be set in white / platinum gold. Yellow gold reflects color, eliminating the effect of colored diamonds |

Slightly colored
While containing traces of color, diamond G, A is suitable for platinum or white gold settings, which will usually betray the color markings on diamonds. Because diamonds I, A are more common than higher grades, they tend to be of great value. A diamond I, J can sell for half the price of diamond D. In the range G, J, prices tend to increase by 10-20% between each grade diamond. |

Faint Color
Starting with diamond K, the color (usually yellow) is more easily detected by the naked eye. Set in yellow gold, this warm colored diamond appeals to some people, and is of extraordinary value. Other people will feel that they have too many colors. Because color is clear, a diamond K is often half the price of a diamond G. |

Very Light Color
Diamonds in the N color range, R have yellow or brown colors that are easy to see, but much cheaper than higher grades. Lumera doesn't carry diamonds in this color range due to lack of demand. If you want a diamond in this range, ask for the quote price using a custom diamond search. |
