I have a girlfriend who went out to do an interview on the theme of colored diamonds. I was so happy and bought a yellow diamond by the way. If
is entangled with quantitative standards such as color, clarity, weight, etc., it is not a perfect diamond, but she just saw it right and received it on the spot. Later, it took a long time to find a designer, design setting, inlay... Every time I see her busy with this yellow diamond, she is like she is immersed in sweet first love and joyously, even I can't restrain the upward corner of the mouth.
I have had the honor of seeing some rare and legendary diamonds. They are like dewdrops in the morning of April. They are beautiful but shocking. I think only the magical power of nature can create such an intoxicating masterpiece. But I have a deep memory of this entry-level diamond, mostly because the designer played a little trick: she lined the diamond with a piece of 18K gold as the base, and a Fancy Yellow diamond is therefore more charming and charming. ——Because unlike white diamonds, the most important criteria for colored diamonds are color, color, and color!
Jewelry industry uses such a sentence to describe the rarity of colored diamonds: one hundred thousand diamonds make one colored diamond, and one hundred thousand colored diamonds make one red diamond. The Hancock Red is a rare red diamond. When it was sold by Christie's in New York in 1987, the price per carat was as high as US$926,000, setting a world record in one fell swoop! However, its red is not a pure red, but is accompanied by a purple hue in the red that is too thick to dissolve, that is, Fancy Purple-red.
diamonds have 4C, but in the world of colored diamonds, a word "color" is enough to overwhelm everything, which means that even if the weight is less than 1 carat, even if there are countless inclusions, as long as the color is outstanding, it may still be among the top colored diamonds. The reason why I regard the Hancock Red as a textbook classic is because it interprets the word "color" to the extreme.
time is a great color designer. It took hundreds of millions of years to create colorful diamonds. It has almost all the shades of color we can imagine, yellow, blue, brown, pink, and green. ...The most rare is red. And among the few red diamonds, if it is pure red, then it is not even "valuable" to describe its rare case, but the fact is that even if we are lucky enough, we can encounter several times in our lifetime. Top red diamonds always have some other hues, such as the Hancock Red with purple hues. "Big red and purple", "red and purple"... Human beings are visual animals, and from the perspective of visual effects, we often tend to think that red and purple are similar, which also creates a kind of psychological hint in the subtlety. It makes the red with purple hues appear deeper and heavier in our eyes, so that collectors and gem experts even ignore its weight of less than 1 carat and are crazy for its stunning color.
Unlike rare red diamonds, yellow is the second most common color among colored diamonds, but it doesn’t mean that we understand its temperament, and occasionally some cute "little accidents" will bring yellow diamonds to nothing. The beauty of Lumby. The famous Harry Winston Pumpkin is just like that. This is a diamond with a color grade of Fancy Vivid Orange Yellow. In other words, although it is a common yellow diamond, it has an orange hue. There is no doubt that the addition of orange tones makes the color of this diamond more saturated and intense, and it is bright and beautiful brilliance at first sight.
The day before Halloween in 1997, Roland Winston bought this diamond, probably due to the lively holiday atmosphere, coupled with the rare warm color, Roland Winston actually took a fairy tale for this unparalleled gem Playful name-Harry Winston Pumpkin. The 2002 Oscar for Best Actress Halle Berry won the Statuette. It was this rare orange diamond that was worn on that night. The closer the
white diamond is to colorless, the more precious it is, while the color diamond is just the opposite. Its color, saturation, and hue complement each other and constitute an important standard for measuring the quality of a colored diamond.
The formation of a diamond has to be carved by nature for billions of years, and the acquisition of a perfect colored diamond is countless times in the long years. There are countless chances-there are less than every million carbon atoms Only a boron atom gave birth to blue diamonds. Radiation caused the carbon atoms in the diamond crystal structure to shift to green diamonds... But few colored diamonds have the same color depth, especially green diamonds. The color is mostly limited to the surface. Bright round cuts are often used to gather more light to reflect the dazzling brilliance, while the cutting of colored diamonds depends entirely on the experience and judgment of the jewelry craftsman, drop-shaped, emerald-shaped, pillow-shaped... they use fancy patterns. The cut makes the front-up position present the most beautiful and rich colors, and also gives the colored diamonds a special charm.
Of course, for a perfect diamond, clarity and weight are also important. Under the same quality conditions, the fewer defects and the heavier the weight, the higher the price, but they are the icing on the cake—without these "flowers", the "brocade" is still the "brocade", which is not beautiful.
Oh, forgot to say, rare is the most expensive. The most expensive colored diamonds are blue diamonds, green diamonds and saturated pink diamonds.
