Fancy
Colored Diamonds come in many colors and hues - from blue to red,
light pink to vivid rose, shades of yellow and orange, green,
and even brown or black. The most common colors are in the yellow
hues. Blue and Green diamonds are very rare, then Pink and Red
being the most rare colored diamond.
The
color is due to the conditions when the diamond crystal is formed.
For instance, nitrogen causes yellow - boron will cause blue or
steel grey - and radiation at the time of formation causes a green
color. Colored Diamonds are rated by their color, the more intense
and pure the color, the higher the value.

So
which type and color of diamond should you buy? Is a light pink
better than a dark pink ring? It depends on whether you want an
investment or something you love. I believe you should buy what
you love - if you prefer a delicate pink or a soft yellow diamond,
then that is the one that will be perfect for you. When it comes
to colored diamonds, buy something you will love wearing.
