A Guide to Colored Lab Grown Diamonds

Diamonds have always been loved, and always will be loved, and for very good reasons; their beauty, elegance, and commitment towards their nuclear family hand bonds are nothing short of bewitching. The fire and brilliance of these ornaments have been captivating and luring people for generations. However, the luxury of diamonds now has a fresh and modern twist of brilliance and beauty. Through the radiance of gemstones, and the vibrancy of diamonds, people can now experience a modern twist on fine jewelry, thanks to the beauty and imagination of people. At Goenka Jewellers, we showcase the innovation, approach, and character as fine jewelry is enhanced with diamonds, along with the innovation and modern brilliance.

The Allure of Colored Diamonds

Traditionally, diamonds are always associated with nothing more than a pristine white color. However, what most people fail to realize is that nothing is truer than the fact that diamonds can come in a mind-blowing variety of colors on the feeble image of an unpolished stone. The colors of these diamonds can be anything from a gentle pastel to an extreme saturation. Each rare and unique color is a different personality and tone of rarity, making them a tremendous choice for anyone who is part of a jewelry collection.

The formation of a diamond can be many of its colors. Tiny trace elements are added when forming and structuring the diamonds into their final form. For instance, a diamond shaded with nitrogen will always be on the yellow side and a diamond that boron is added into the final form will be a bright and enchanting blue.

Understanding Diamond Color Types

If you want to know more about diamonds, both natural and lab-grown, you’ll want to know and understand what the major diamond color types are. Diamonds are traditionally classified by the body color, and this classification runs alphabetically from D to Z. As such, D diamonds are the purest and most expensive. The diamonds that come after the Z in this alphabet classification are ones that have a distinct color, and these are considered “fancy” colored diamonds.

Different Types of ‘Fancy’ Diamonds

·      Yellow Diamonds: These are full of life and warmth, and you’re sure to feel like you’re looking at a warm sunny day.

·      Blue Diamonds: These are very rare and more sophisticated - a true gem.

·      Pink and Red Diamonds: These are extremely rare and are quite romantic.

·      Green Diamonds: The most serene ones, these have a natural elegance that are most sought after.

In lab-grown fancy diamonds, manufacturers improve how colour expressions are created without changing the chemical or optical properties of the crystals, which leads to captivating diamonds, with the added benefit of being ethically produced.

The Advantages of Lab Grown Fancy Diamonds

In this day and age, for ethical and economic reasons, more and more consumers are selecting lab-grown fancy diamonds. Diamonds created in the lab under precise conditions are just as brilliant, sparkly, and durable as earth-mined diamonds. Their beauty is a bonus, but the diamonds of conflict-free, ethical, and environmentally responsible origin are the real showstoppers.

Then there is the big factor of pricing. Diamonds created in a lab are far more accessible in terms of pricing while also not sacrificing quality. Because of this reason, many consumers can purchase larger and more suite diamonds which, in the natural mining industry, would be sold for high valuations.

At Goenka Jewellers, we pride ourselves in providing each consumer with the utmost information about the stones they choose and the accompanying testimony.

How Colored Lab Grown Diamonds Elevate Fine Jewelry

Add a colored diamond to a piece of jewelry, and it transforms it completely, making it a true statement piece. Think of a pair of earrings containing deep blue lab grown diamond accents designed to match an evening gown. Or a ring with a bright yellow diamond as a bold yet modern heirloom to pass down through generations. These aren’t just pieces of jewelry; they convey the wearer’s individuality and personal sense of fashion.

Pastel colored diamonds look nice and will always fit any outfit combinations you may have. For a more unique and classy feel though, one might consider a more rich colored stone.

Selecting the Right Diamond for You

Choosing a diamond should not be a mindless decision. You should start by determining what feeling you want to evoke by wearing this diamond. Is it a pure, white, and classy piece you want to go for or do you feel more attracted to out of the ordinary colored diamonds? That will help you decide on the rest of the design and also help to narrow things down to a budget.

Next, consider the Four Cs: the cut, the clarity, the carat, and the color. For lab grown diamonds, color is very important to consider. More vivid diamonds and more colored diamonds will be more valuable and favored by the general public. Make sure to get a diamond with a decent cut as this is important no matter what color the diamond is. You want it to be cut in a way that will maximize the amount of light that is reflected.

Make sure to also get a professional opinion on the diamond you are looking to purchase. You’ll be best served by certified diamonds. Our team at Goenksa Jewellers is ready to help in any way possible.

Caring for Your Colored Lab Grown Diamonds

Taking care of your diamond jewelry is important for keeping their luster and elegance for generations. Wash your jewelry regularly using a gentle brush with water and mild soap. Stay away from cleaning chemicals and abrasion. Keep your diamonds in separate compartments to prevent scratching and routine care should be handled by professional jewelers. With proper maintenance, your investment will continue to shine like the day you bought it.

A Modern Legacy of Brilliance

Colored lab grown diamonds bridge the gap between tradition, science and artistry. They enable jewelry lovers to enjoy different styles of diamond jewelry while keeping the look of fine quality craftsmanship.
