Three tips for buying color treated diamond jewelryView The Following ColorsColor Enhanced Diamond Jewelry
Natural fancy colored diamonds are extremely rare and very expensive and only worn by the
superrich.
Luckily for the rest of us, color enhanced diamonds are just as beautiful and vibrant but also
much more affordable. Reputable jewelers will always point out that their diamond jewelry is
made with treated colored diamonds.
Irradiated colored diamonds were exposed to radiation that re-arrange the position of the diamonds’ atoms and change its color. The color is usually permanent but can be influenced by temperatures over 900ºF (450ºC). Mention to your jeweler that your color enhanced diamond jewelry is irradiated when you have it resized because the heat of a blowtorch can influence the color. |
