What Is A Fancy Colored Lab-diamond?

A fancy-colored lab diamond undergoes the same technological process as a colorless lab diamond. The body of the diamond features a dazzling hue instead of a classic colorless appearance. Any diamond that is not the traditional white is considered a fancy diamond.

According to GIA, only 1 in 10,000 natural diamonds has a fancy color. This rarity drives the price up and up, which is why many people have turned to lab-grown diamonds that consistently produce gorgeous colors in a marketable quantity without the sticker shock.

How Do Fancy Color Lab-diamonds Get Their Color?

In a lab, impurities, which are substances other than carbon, are added in specific amounts under a controlled environment to achieve amazing colors. Each color is the result of a different compound.

Brown, orange, and yellow: nitrogen is mixed with carbon.

Blue: tiny amounts of boron with carbon.

Green: gamma radiation causes green diamonds.

Pink and Red: experts think higher pressure may change the structure of the diamond, resulting in pink and red.

How To Grade Their Color?

When choosing a fancy colored lab diamond, it's essential to know that they are not graded like colorless diamonds. The 4 C's don't typically apply. Instead, lab-created fancy colored diamonds are graded on their color, in terms of:

? Hue: the actual color.

? Tone: how light or dark the color is.

? Saturation: how intense the color is.

Nine color categories make up the range of color saturation. They are Fancy Vivid, Fancy Intense, Fancy Deep, Fancy Dark, Fancy, Fancy Light, Light, Very Light, and Faint. Different people value different color or shade.
