Colors We Source

The Spectrum of the Rarest Hues

Fancy Green

Green arises from natural radiation:
energy from surrounding areas
displaces carbon atoms within the crystal,
creating vacancies that absorb red light,
so the diamond reflects green.

Fancy Pink

Pink is born of pressure:
deep within the earth,
immense force distorts the crystal,
creating microscopic deformations
that absorb light leaving the diamond pink.

Fancy Blue

Blue owes its color to boron:
as the crystal forms,
atoms of boron substitute for carbon
and absorb red and yellow light,
so the diamond transmits a deep blue.

Fancy Yellow

Yellow comes from nitrogen:
nitrogen atoms substitute for carbon
and absorb blue light,
casting the diamond with warm yellow.
The richer the nitrogen, the deeper the hue.

Fancy Red

Red is wrought by pressure:
the same force that yields pink,
pressed further, deepens the distortions
absorbing the passing light,
so the diamond glows a deep red.

Fancy Orange

Orange is also created by nitrogen:
but here the atoms gather into clusters
and these clusters within the crystal
absorb blue and green light,
pushing the hue past yellow into orange.
