Diamonds have been desired since ancient times and they are still as coveted as ever. It appears there is no indication these vibrant treasures will ever drop their valuable status. While the popularity of various types and styles of jewelry comes and goes diamonds will eternally be cherished.

One type of diamond that has become remarkably hot in recent years is the colored diamond, particularly the yellows and browns. Stated simply a colored diamond is a real diamond that is colored instead of clear. These diamonds have the same attributes, are made from the same elements and have the same brilliance but instead of being colorless or white these gems have a color, anywhere from light to intense. Some of these colored diamonds are made this way by nature in the earth’s surface, some are entirely man made, and some are real diamonds are color enhanced in a laboratory. The ones that are mined with color are the most expensive, but all of these colored stones have grown very popular.

Colors like pinks and blues have always been more valuable, but of late the browns and yellows have gained a lot of attention. The browns and yellows were formerly believed to be low color and not suitable for jewelry, rather they were often utilized for industrial needs. But these earthy colored beauties have come a long way and as we are seeing celebrities wearing them at popular events they are holding their somewhat recently attained status. If you’ve seen a stunning cognac diamond ring you will understand why.

These light and dark earthy diamonds work well with a variety of hair and skin colors making them easy for anyone to wear with elegance. These colored diamonds also work well with either white gold or gold, and with the trend towards natural colors and styles these sparkling beauties fit the bill. If they will continue to be as hot as they are now is still to be determined, but holding that diamond status should help them last. As the saying goes “a diamond is forever” whether white or colored.
