Searching through various fashion columns I revealed that multi-colored diamonds are currently "In". I was wondering why and at what time were they "Out"…
Answer happen to be the old issue and law of "Supply and Demand"… A large amount mined diamonds are black or blackish chocolate color. They are used for manufacturing purposes. After that come the very lightly tinged in yellowish brown "colorless" diamonds of low color grading (from K to Z) and the rest are the colorless and next to colorless ones…
Diamonds of exceptionally intense shade are the minority. Given that the diamond product has been designed, so to say, to be heavily marketed, and because the black was overly widespread and used for the above mentioned manufacturing purposes, it was left for the colorless ones to bear the brilliant burden. But being rare, has rendered those intensely colored diamonds ever more rare, exclusive and costly.
Topping the list of matchlessness and value are the red, pink and blue. Right next to them, dear, but at least obtainable are the dazzling yellows… But, pricey they are, whilst bright yellow diamonds are concerned… Tens of 1000's of dollars per Carat… ) just visualize how posh the practically non-existent reds are).
You may perhaps be expected to dish some $25,000 or more for a carat of those sunshine-like sparks.
While I was browsing the net in search for information and sources I came across a very timid web site of very few webpages, residing on a respected domain name… There, at Diamonds.org I learnt that an ethical diamond acquisition decision may be made by opting for lab-grown diamonds, the greater part of which, if coming from a good source, will be of amazing intense and bright yellow shade. And, most prominently, when you locate such a source, you could be asked to dish out a mere $5,000 or $6,000 per Carat and get a real, genuine, honest to goodness, nothing-but a diamond of the sought after yellow denomination!!!
Bear in mind that not all yellows are look the same. Unless you find a yellow diamond that is at least of an official "Intense", "deep" or "Vivid" categorization or "grading", and it better be by a good laboratory: the GIA, IGI, AGS or EGL. Al "in house grading" ought to be questioned… Turn your back on any "light" "faint" "fancy" for if "go" for any of those you will end up with a dreadfully pale, barely discernable, allegedly or truly "yellow" stone of very little elegance. Cost can be a guide here too… As soon as you lay your hand on a "vivid" yellow - you will be dazzled and bedazzled. They are real beauties.
And so will she. But is not she the one you needed to amaze and bedazzle?
I definitely felt so about my gal, and did impress her with a 1.20 of a carat lab grown real diamond, a Vibrant Yellow one for that modified as a "Vivid Greenish yellow", a golden color diamond with a touch of lime, if you will.
I still can't help looking at her yellow-diamond-wearing finger and feel that I did the right, uncommon, even "In" thing (not that the latter mattered if truth be told)…
