Pink Diamonds Are Fashion Fierce
Pink diamonds say, “I love you and I am going to keep you.” They are also labeled as fancy diamonds. This is because the word fancy refers to any type of diamond stone that is tinged by color. Many hued diamonds have a blue or gray tint and the shading is very subtle. Pure pink diamonds really are a joy to behold. They make the perfect Christmas gift but they are also quite expensive.
Pink diamonds come in all kinds of different colors. The many hues of pink available are shrimp, shell, violet, fuchsia, strawberry, coral and bubblegum. Many of these diamonds also resemble rubies, which is not surprising as diamonds and rubies are actually from the same family of minerals with diamonds being slightly harder than a ruby. The raspberry pink diamond which is a true pink diamond almost looks exactly like ruby. The violet ones resemble iolite and amythests.
Most of us can’t afford a true pink diamond but a lab created one can be very beautiful. Most lab created diamonds are absolutely perfect and come in the same large variety of hues as the natural ones.. Unlike the lab created versions of these gemstones, natural pink diamonds are actually multi-tonal stones. They will flash all kinds of purples, blues and other hues along with the pink color. However if you really like the multi-tonal effect you can get lab created gems that have been dipped in a coating that can make the gem flash any color that you like.
The best pink diamonds are flawed! Yes it’s true. The more flaws the pink diamond has the deeper its color will likely be as it are the flaws that give the stone any kind of tint in the first place.
Although the purely pink lab created gem might be pretty you must be careful not to be charged for way more than it is worth. You also need to watch out for yellow or grey diamonds that have actually been dyed pink. Sometimes diamonds are also heated in order to give them a pink color. These are pretty stones but you should not pay sky high prices for them as you would a true diamond.
If the gem created lab is large you can expect to pay more. Sometimes when you are buying a pink diamonds you are really buying heat treated brown diamonds. Cheap grade brown diamonds can be treated so they turn pink. Just keep in mind that a perfect flawless pink gem practically does not exist in nature and you when you are shopping for pink diamonds you should not let it happen!
