Fancy Pink Diamond Rings

Fancy pink diamonds are called "fancy" as that is the term that is used to describe any diamond that is not colored white. Pink diamond rings can come in a number of hues including shell, strawberry, bubblegum, shrimp, baby pink, violet-pink and fuschia.

It can be quite difficult to assess the value of a pink ring simply because fancy pink diamonds are often assessed according to the intensity of their color. However usually the more intense the color is of the diamond, the more flaws it is likely to have as this is what causes the diamond to have any kind of a tint in the first place.

It is difficult to find pink diamond rings that are completely pink. Flaws in the diamond will cause it to also flash a number of other colors such as purple, orange and brown. Thus all natural fancy pink diamonds are considered to be multi-tonal in nature.

Pure pink diamond rings tend have stones that have been made in a laboratory. The stones may have been dyed to enhance their color or heat treated to bring about a chemical change in the stone to make them rosier. In terms of vividness, brightness and color, fancy pink diamonds that are made in a laboratory may be of superior value to man made ones because they are flawless. In fact one sure way to tell a natural pink diamond from one made in a laboratory is to examine it under a small magnifier. If the diamond does not contain any flaws then it is a man made one.
