Pink diamond halo – ERD photos

SmallSparkle’s cushion cut diamond ring features a halo of delicate pink diamonds. Australia’s Argyle Diamond Mine produces most of the world’s pink diamonds, which are sold at the annual Pink Tender. Diamonds can range from dark or vivid pink to very light or faint pink. The color of pink (and brown) diamonds is generally thought to be caused by colored graining, which results from structural irregularities in combination with an impurity. Pink diamonds are highly coveted and costly, but can delight in small sizes, as seen in SmallSparkle’s halo. Lovely!

My new pink/champagne E-ring

Light brown diamonds are often called “Champagne Diamonds” in the marketplace. Light browns can also display a slightly pinkish hue, which creates a very soft and lovely blend of colors. Since light brown diamonds and pink diamonds are both colored by graining, it follows that some browns will show a bit of pink. Gisellem’s 1.42 carat pink/champagne diamond is set in rose gold for a warm and delicate effect.

Brownie from diamondsbylauren

The term du jour for browns is “Chocolate Diamonds” a la Le Vian, but darker brown diamonds are also called Cognac or simply brown. Dori2002’s brownie is a 1.53 carat fancy dark yellow brown graded by GIA. The rich brown is offset by a white diamond halo ring with rose gold prongs. I’ll take some chocolate diamonds with my cognac, please. Yum.

Black Diamond Ring

LD’s 4.1 carat pear shaped black diamond is set in a white diamond halo ring. Natural black diamonds are essentially colored by dark inclusions or impurities, which are great in number and evenly distributed throughout the stone. Many black diamonds in the marketplace are irradiated for even coloration. One of the most remarkable natural black diamonds is the 67.50 carat Black Orlov.

Yellow diamonds are among the most popular, and acebruin’s fancy light yellow pops with color. The 1.01 carat Fancy Light Yellow diamond is set with pear shaped diamonds in a classic three stone ring. Yellow diamonds are colored by the presence of nitrogen, and they are second to brown diamonds in rarity.
