Green Diamonds: Nature’s Rare and Enigmatic Masterpiece
Few gemstones capture the imagination quite like green Diamonds. With their naturally captivating hues, these extraordinary stones have long fascinated gemmologists and jewellery enthusiasts alike. Green Diamonds owe their unique colour to natural radiation exposure during formation, a process that imparts a subtle yet enchanting green tint - often only on the surface - making each stone a one-of-a-kind marvel.
Is Green Diamond a real diamond?
Green Diamond's distinct colour originates from the exposure of carbon atoms to natural radiation within the Earth. This exposure causes a delicate alteration, where the green hue is usually concentrated near the surface of the stone. The challenge for expert cutters lies in preserving this naturally occurring colour while achieving an optimal shape and carat weight. As a result, every green Diamond embodies a blend of natural artistry and human craftsmanship, ensuring its status as a treasured gem.
Is the rarest type of Diamond green?
According to experts at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), diamonds with pure green, blue, or red hues comprise less than 0.07% of all Diamonds submitted for grading. This rarity adds an air of exclusivity and prestige to green Diamonds, making them highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs alike. Their natural origin and the intricate processes involved in cutting them only serve to enhance their allure.
Are green Diamonds very expensive?
Due to their rarity, green Diamonds often command a premium over traditional colourless Diamonds. However, their cost can be competitive when compared to other fancy-coloured Diamonds.
