Diamond is my Color

There can be beautiful rainbow colors in our world, but the different diamond colors are the best to enjoy and they are great when wearing them. But first let's see what a real diamond is and then we will understand why they bear different colors. The best moment of them all is buying this gemstone. And last but not least what are the best diamonds that are for us on the market, their value calculated by carat weight.

The Greeks used to call the diamond adamas this means "unbreakable" because of the strong bonding between the atoms, maybe and just maybe, it also speaks to us about the bonding, the engagement between man and woman when they make one another a love commitment, he gives a diamond ring to his fiancé like a symbol of their compromise before marriage. Oh ! ok also anniversaries.

If you want a technical explanation about the diamond structure you'll not find it here, but I'll try to explain how come diamonds have different colors. I'm not an expert, but I love diamonds. A diamond is formed by crystal structure called "diamond lattice" inside this structure sometimes are trapped impurities in the form of chemical elements as Boron and Nitrogen combined with it's typical transparency, and polished to perfection, all this elements give the diamond it's clear and sometimes white color we love so much in natural diamonds.

The polishing of the diamond is critical because this accentuates the high optical dispersion this means it has the ability to disperse the different colors that catch our eyes.

When there is more boron in the atom composition of a diamond we are talking here in one per million of lattice atoms we get a blue diamond. For a yellow diamond there has to be more nitrogen, and so on we can get black, grey, brown diamonds, green, purple, pink, orange and red.

Now we will talk about the different diamonds and their value. When a white diamond has a yellowish color it's said to be a cheaper diamond.

Intense pink and blue diamonds are in the market and can be highly valued.

On the contrary to natural diamonds formed within the earth, synthetic diamonds are manufactured in a laboratory, made by high pressure and temperature, and by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). By the methods before mentioned, there are also yellow, blue, green and pink diamonds. Even black and brown diamonds are in the market. During a long time brown diamonds where considered worthless but they are becoming popular now days. This color is compared to champagne, to cognac, honey and caramel, even chocolate.

The trends for 2011 diamond jewelry and in general:

Snake rings and bangles, butterfly and flower motifs, natural stones with electric colors, multiple diamonds to give the appearance of a chunkier piece, gold with brown or chocolate diamonds with a vintage air
