Red Diamond

Red is the color of passion. Diamond is a girl’s best friend. A combination of the two, then, gives you an irresistible, beautiful and extremely rare gem. Colored diamonds, such as pink, black and blue, are very rare, and red diamond is one of the rarest.

Natural red diamonds are so rare, that many jewelers have never even seen one! Needless to say, that red diamonds are so rare that most people will never get to own one either. Recently, different methods of enhancing diamonds, which basically means changing their color, have been developed. The process probably recreates the conditions that existed many years ago to produce natural fancy colored diamonds. Treatments on enhanced fancy colors include irradiating them, which causes the color to change. This is followed by a heat treatment in order to stabilize the color.

It is almost impossible to find a pure red diamond, without any hues, and as a result, red diamond prices are extremely high. Some combinations of red diamonds include fancy purplish red, fancy brownish red, and the rarest, which is simply pure red.

Since natural red diamonds are so rare, yet so beautiful, many people choose to buy different gems that resemble red diamond. Probably the most popular red jewelry is the Ruby. Rubies are extremely elegant and royal, and are worn by royalty and celebrities all over the world. Prices of rubies are primarily determined by color. The brightest “red” called “pigeon blood-red,” takes considerable precedence over other rubies of similar quality. Indeed, rubies are a great substitute for those who absolutely love red diamond and red jewelry in general, since rubies are not only stunning, they are also quite common.
