What makes natural purple diamonds so exceptionally rare? 

Natural purple diamonds rank among the scarcest colored diamonds, with pure purple specimens representing less than 0.02% of all fancy colored diamonds mined. Their distinctive color results from specific hydrogen content and crystal lattice distortions – a combination occurring under extremely rare geological conditions. Even at 0.25 carats, these genuine purple diamonds represent extraordinary finds, with perhaps fewer than 30 high-quality specimens entering the market annually worldwide. This extreme geological rarity explains their premium value despite their modest size.

How do purple diamonds compare to amethysts in color and value? 

While both display beautiful purple hues, 0.25 carat purple diamonds vastly exceed amethysts in rarity, value, and investment potential. Purple diamonds possess superior hardness (10 on Mohs scale versus amethyst’s 7), greater brilliance, and significantly higher market value. Unlike amethysts, which occur naturally in numerous locations, purple diamonds form under extremely specific conditions, making each authentic specimen a geological miracle. Their natural color results from complex structural characteristics rather than trace elements, creating distinctive optical properties that separate them from other purple gemstones.

Are quarter-carat purple diamonds a good investment? 

Despite their modest size, natural 0.25 ct purple diamonds offer compelling investment potential due to their extraordinary geological rarity. Purple ranks among the scarcest natural diamond colors, with high-quality specimens becoming increasingly difficult to source. Their conflict-free origin and GIA certification enhance their investment appeal. When purchasing these precious stones from our Antwerp collection, their real value derives from their unique characteristics and extreme scarcity rather than size alone, positioning them favorably for potential appreciation.

What jewelry styles best showcase small purple diamonds? 

Quarter-carat purple diamonds create striking focal points in minimalist settings that maximize their distinctive color. These natural gems excel in white metal settings like platinum or white gold, which enhance their cool purple tones. Vintage-inspired designs complement their royal association, while contemporary bezel settings provide excellent protection for these valuable stones. When designing with these rare colored diamonds, consider settings that elevate the stone and maximize light interaction, allowing their extraordinary character to command attention despite their modest size.

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?

When you’re ready to purchase a certified loose diamond, it’s essential to choose a reputable source to ensure quality, authenticity, and ethical sourcing. 

Ensure the diamond comes with a reputable certification from a respected laboratory like GIA, AGS, IGI. At Reuven Veksler, we always provide all necessary certificates and are ready to answer all your questions regarding the origin of your diamond. We do our best to make your diamond buying experience special and unforgettable.
