When most people picture a diamond in their mind, they picture a crystal type stone that sparkles and radiates light. They don’t necessarily think of diamonds as being coloured stones. Diamonds come in many different colours but this is generally reserved to a specialised market but if you want a fancy colour diamond ring, they are out there!

First of all if you are going to give a diamond as a gift it is an ideal and very traditional gemstone used in engagement rings. If you have already given that gift then the diamond is the birthstone for April. Birthstone jewellery is extremely popular and diamonds are no exception, however, you may have to extend your search a little further to find a fancy colour diamond to gift
as birthstone jewellery.

Fancy coloured diamonds on the whole tend to be pale in colour when compared to other gemstones. When compared to colourless diamonds coloured diamonds are more rare and hence more valuable. Also when compared to conventional diamonds there is not as large a market for fancy coloured diamond jewellery. The most common colour for fancy diamonds is a pale pink colour and a blue colour, these two colours are the most expensive! Fancy coloured diamonds also come in pale to bright yellows, oranges, greens, and browns. With the browns being upgraded to the name champagne or cognac! All gemstones have personalities but these coloured diamonds have a personality all their own. They are stunning set in rings and really set the wearer apart as an individual.
