FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What causes the green color in natural diamonds?

The green color in natural diamonds primarily results from exposure to natural radiation during their geological residence near radioactive minerals containing uranium or thorium. This radiation displaces carbon atoms in the diamond’s crystal structure, creating defects that absorb red light and reflect green wavelengths. The intensity of the green color depends on radiation exposure duration and the specific structural changes that occurred. Unlike other colored diamonds, green diamonds often show color primarily on their surface rather than throughout the entire stone.

How rare are green diamonds compared to other colors?

Green diamonds are exceptionally rare, accounting for less than 0.1% of all colored diamonds recovered worldwide. They rank among the rarest fancy colors alongside red and violet diamonds, making them significantly more scarce than browns, yellows, or even blues. Pure green diamonds without secondary color influences are particularly rare, with most showing modifying hues such as yellowish-green or bluish-green. This extreme rarity translates directly to their high market value and collectible status among connoisseurs of rare gemstones.

Which green shades are most valuable and sought after?

The most valuable and sought-after green diamonds display a pure, vivid green color known as “Grass Green” or “Emerald Green” without secondary color influences. Fancy Intense Green and Fancy Vivid Green command the highest prices, sometimes exceeding $500,000 per carat for exceptional specimens. Bluish-green diamonds also attract premium prices due to their appealing teal appearance and extreme rarity. The value hierarchy generally follows: pure green > bluish-green > yellowish-green > brownish-green, with intensity and saturation significantly impacting worth within each category.

How can you tell if a green diamond is natural or treated?

Determining if a green diamond is natural or treated requires examination by specialized gemological laboratories using advanced spectroscopic techniques. Natural green diamonds typically show surface-confined coloration called a “skin” or “radiation stain,” while the color in treated stones often penetrates deeper. Under microscopic examination, natural greens may show characteristic radiation stains appearing as spots or patches. Always purchase green diamonds with certificates from respected laboratories like GIA that specifically verify natural origin, as treated green diamonds have significantly lower value than their rare natural counterparts.

Frequently Asked questions

What is a loose diamond?

A loose diamond is simply a diamond that hasn’t been set into a piece of jewelry yet. It’s a raw, uncut stone, ready to be transformed into something beautiful. 

Loose diamonds are the foundation of many stunning pieces, from diamond engagement rings to elegant bracelets, necklaces or eternity bands. They’re also used to create custom jewelry, allowing you to express your unique style. 

Shop loose diamonds and you’ll have the opportunity to choose your diamond from a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and qualities. Whether you’re looking for a brilliant round diamond, a classic emerald cut, or a sleek princess cut, loose diamonds offer incredible customization possibilities. 

No matter what kind of diamond you’re searching for, a loose diamond is the perfect starting point to create a timeless treasure that you’ll cherish forever.

What are conflict-free diamonds?

Conflict-free diamonds are diamonds that have been ethically sourced, meaning they were not mined in areas where the proceeds funded armed conflict or human rights abuses.  

While natural diamonds are often associated with these ethical concerns, conflict-free diamonds offer a solution. These diamonds with a clear, traceable origin are a responsible choice for you if you  want your diamond to reflect its values.

There are two main types of conflict-free diamonds:

  1. Natural Conflict-Free Diamonds

 These are natural diamonds that have been mined in areas where ethical practices and responsible sourcing are strictly enforced.  You can find the perfect conflict-free natural diamond by looking for certifications from reputable laboratories, e.g. GIA . 

  1. Grown Diamonds

 These are grown diamonds created in a lab, offering a completely conflict-free alternative. They’re chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds, but more affordable and environmentally friendly. However, at Reuven Veksler we never deal with grown diamonds. 

Whether you choose a natural or grown conflict-free diamond,  it’s vital to understand the certifications and guarantees that come with it.  

A conflict-free diamond will sparkle beautifully and reflect your commitment to ethical sourcing.  It’s a diamond that has been responsibly sourced and will embellish your diamond engagement ring or other pieces of jewelry that will complement women’s wedding outfits. 

The best diamonds to purchase

To find the perfect diamond you have to consider many factors, like symmetry, fluorescence, 4Cs, color grade. All that stuff canmake your head buzz, so we always recommend starting with your budget. Calculate how much you are willing to spend and what your limit is, after which you will definitely not be able to spend more.

The best diamond is the one that fits your expectations and budget. Of course, we recommend considering only natural stones, as they are time-tested symbols of nature’s majesty and beauty 

How to choose the right diamond for jewelry?

Selecting the ideal diamond for your jewelry can be a daunting task, but it’s also an exciting adventure! With so many options in the world of diamonds, it’s important to understand the key factors that will influence your choice. 

Let’s imagine you are eager to purchase a ring. First of all, determine your ring style. 

Think about the style of jewelry you want.  Is it a classic engagement ring, a delicate ring, or a statement piece? The setting and design of your ring will influence the diamond’s shape, size, and overall look. Secondly, never forget about 4Cs. Keep in mind that a good cut will ensure that light reflects beautifully from the diamond. In addition, diamonds with a higher color grade (closer to D) appear whiter when exposed to light. You can find beautiful diamonds with subtle hints of yellow, especially if you’re on a budget. Moreover, natural diamonds will have some inclusions, but they’re often invisible to the naked eye. Take into account that some diamonds with fluorescence can appear hazy or milky when exposed to ultraviolet light.  

With a clear understanding of the 4Cs and your personal preferences, you’re ready to find your dream diamond!  Remember that some diamonds may have more noticeable inclusions or a slightly warmer color, but still be beautifully brilliant. 

Where to buy certified loose diamonds?
