The Orange Diamond
Monday, May 30, 2011 by admin
For every 10,000 diamonds mined in the world, only one will come out being a colored diamond. This is what makes them so rare, and so hard to obtain. The orange colored diamond is considered to be a fancy diamond, made naturally through the presence of nitrogen and carbon lattice. It has the best of the rare red colored diamond and the brilliance of the yellow colored diamond, so when you see it through the naked eye it looks orange. When you see the diamond, the secondary hues, such as red, orange, pink, purple, and yellow combine to make different variations of color depending on how vivid the secondary hue it is.
Orange diamonds are sometimes synthetically enhanced to make them even more vivid then they are, which actually can make the value more than it already is. In grading the diamond it can be either faint, very light, light, fancy, fancy intense, fancy vivid, and fancy deep. Of course the collectors desire the fancy vivid and fancy deep, which are incredibly hard to find. The most sought after orange diamond is on exhibition in museums around the world. It is called the Pumpkin and was worn by Halle Berry at the 2002 Oscar awards. It is an intense vivid orange color, and weighs 5.54 carats, an amazing buy for any collector lucky enough to be able to purchase this rare and beautiful diamond. It is still to this day the largest fancy orange diamond ever recorded.
