Diamonds have been sought after since ancient times and they remain as desirable as ever. It appears there is no indication these vibrant precious stones will ever drop their desirable status. As the popularity of different styles and types of jewelry comes and goes diamonds will eternally be admired.
A certain type of diamond that has become particularly fashionable recently is the colored diamond, particularly the yellows and browns. In simple terms a colored diamond is a real diamond that is colored. They have the same characteristics, are from the same components and have the same brilliant sparkle but rather than being white or colorless they have color, ranging from light to intense. Some colored diamonds are made this way naturally in the earth’s surface, some are completely cultured, and some are raw diamonds are color enhanced in a lab. The ones that are mined with color are the most valuable, but each of these colored gems have grown rather fashionable.
Colors including pinks and blues have always been valued, but in recent years the yellows and browns have won a lot of attention. The browns and yellows were formerly believed to be low color and not desirable for jewelry, rather they were usually utilized for industrial roles. But these earthy colored stones have gained increasing respect and with the help of celebrities wearing them on the red carpet they are maintaining their newly attained status. If you have seen a cognac diamond you’ll definitely know why.
These light and dark brown treasures go well with different skin and hair colors making them easy for anyone to wear with sophistication. They also work well with either white gold or gold, and with the trend to earthy styles and colors these sparkling beauties fit the bill. Whether they will remain as hot as they are now is yet to be determined, but holding that diamond status will likely help them remain popular. As the saying goes “a diamond is forever”.
