Coloured Diamond Meanings
Diamonds are available in almost every colour imaginable. Coloured diamonds are classified differently to regular clear diamonds and are often called fancy coloured diamonds. Naturally coloured diamonds change into a different colour because of various conditions or elements the diamond is exposed to whilst it is being formed. Treated or synthetically coloured diamonds are created by gemologists in a laboratory. Regardless of where the diamonds colour comes from, these coloured diamonds can be extremely fashionable and rare.
