Purple Diamonds

Align CenterPurple Diamonds II by Luccicare Lampwork.

We discuss the different hues and shades of purple diamonds on our Hues page.
For plain vanilla, near-colourless ones, we are delighted to be able to give you the following information:-Colour is one of the 4 C's which determine the price of a diamond.
Be Beers make diamond promotional material available to every jeweller in the form of leaflets, showcards and more, and yet there is still much confusion about the role of colour as a quality factor in diamonds.It is commonly believed that most diamonds are white, although strictly we should say colourless. This is incorrect, most diamonds actually show at least a trace of body colour, and many are quite deeply coloured. To their credit, De Beers do point out that most diamonds are faintly yellow, however many diamonds are faintly brown, green, grey, or other colours.
