Diamonds have always been a symbol of luxury and prestige, but have you ever heard of an orange diamond? This rare and stunning gemstone belongs to the family of fancy-color diamonds. It is a unique addition to any jewelry collection. This blog post will explore the fascinating world of orange diamonds, their history, their rarity, and how you can add one to your collection.
Prospectors found the first orange diamonds a few centuries ago. We found one of their most memorable early references in gemologist Edwin Streeter’s 1882 book, Great Diamonds of the World. In the book, Streeter referred to them as fire diamonds for a good reason. Well cut, the stones flicker and flare like solidified flames! Natural orange diamonds owe their color to nitrogen impurities and are one of the rarest stones. They are so rare that supply cannot meet the demand throughout the world.
Most orange diamonds come from South Africa and Western Australia. These natural diamonds take a lot of work, with investors and collectors frequently snatching them up. In recent years, the interest in colored diamonds has increased exponentially, creating a growing demand for these natural-colored gemstones. However, irradiated diamonds are a great alternative due to the limited availability of natural diamonds from mines. These diamonds have the same quality and clarity as natural diamonds yet have undergone a color change due to the treatment process.
Shop LC is proud to offer HPHT-enhanced orange diamonds at an affordable price. HPHT treatment involves no damage to stones and creates ‘color centers’ throughout the stone, permanently changing the diamond’s color. Shop LC sources finished diamonds from trusted vendors with direct connections with miners. These vendors are skilled in diamond enhancement techniques, with specialized machines and skilled lapidaries. Shop LC can cater to the growing demand for these rare and stunning gemstones by offering these enhanced diamonds.
A pure natural orange diamond is one of the most sought-after stones. It is a unique addition to any jewelry collection. Their rarity makes them highly valuable, with prices fetching incredibly high at auction. However, by offering HPHT-enhanced orange diamonds, Shop LC makes this rare gemstone more accessible to the general public while maintaining the quality and beauty of a natural diamond.
Orange diamonds are a unique and rare gemstone that is difficult to find. Whether you prefer natural or enhanced diamonds, this stunning gemstone is a fantastic addition to any jewelry collection. Shop LC is proud to offer these gems at an affordable price, making them accessible to a broader audience. Add a touch of luxury and prestige to your collection with an orange diamond today!
