THE RARE AND WONDERFUL WORLD OF FANCY COLORED DIAMONDS Diamonds are the hardest of all gemstones and, therefore, reflect light with a brilliance that outshines all other gemstones. Colored diamonds have emerged as a favorite gemstone because of this glow. And because they are so rare, they make a unique style statement when set in jewelry. N COLORFUL CLEARLY atural fancy intense-color diamonds are rare: for every colored diamond found, including fancy yellow, blue, and pink, there are at least 10,000 colorless ones. When the color is very intense, it is classified as a fancy colored diamond. For fancy colored diamonds, the deeper, purer, and more saturated colors are usually the rarest, most costly, and most desirable. Perrywinkle pink diamond double halo pendant, DPM1380.
