Coloured Diamonds: Which One Suits Your Style Best?

Diamonds can come in a range of different colours and shades, but gemmologists use a total of 27 hues to distinguish between each colour. So whether you have an interest in princess diamond rings with a red stone centrepiece or round diamond rings in green, there is an option out there to suit everyone’s preferred choice.

The easier question to answer is, what colour diamonds can’t you buy? It’s thought pure red diamonds are almost non-existent with just twenty to thirty of them having been discovered. However, there are other red diamond shades to choose from if this is your preferred choice.

As for other colours, there is a vibrant array of everything from pinks and blues to greens and many more. In need of some colourful inspiration?

When it comes to determining what the ‘best’ diamond colour is to buy, it could be argued this is down to opinion. However, if when we say ‘best’ we are referring to the colours that are the rarest, then red, blue, green, and pink diamonds are the most unique diamond colours to find, and they can sell for tens of thousands, sometimes millions, on the market.

Red diamonds are a symbol of confidence and power. So, if you’re a CEO of a company and want to look glamorous and powerful or are finding the perfect jewel to reflect your bold sense of style, red may be your colour.

If you love the countryside and like to live off the land, you’ll be pleased to learn that green diamonds are a sign of nature and prosperity.
