What Are The Meanings For Different Color Diamonds

By Yolanda Nash

On the day your handsome prince pops that all important question, it is the beginning of one of the most exciting and romantic periods in your life. The engagement ring he presents to you will be one you wear for many years to come, and you may want something different than the conventional crystal, clear colored diamond. There are diamonds of different hues and each one has a sentiment for giving behind it.

Pink Diamonds for a Creative Lady

If you are a creative and artistic type of person, wearing a pink diamond is a reflection of that aspect of your personality. Of course, you may only get a pink diamond if money is no object. A pink diamond is one of the rarest types in the world and those who purchase them have plenty of money to spend on this valued prize.

Yellow Diamonds for the Selfless Bride

If your fiancé thinks you are one of the most thoughtful and considerate people he knows, he may want to show his appreciation for those qualities by presenting you with a yellow diamond. The yellow diamond celebrates the sweetness of the bride’s personality as well as her willingness to come to the aid of others.

Blue Diamonds for Peace and Good Health

It is said that the groom who purchases a blue diamond for his soon to be bride will be promoting serenity and calm in all of their communication. This may be a lucky charm that keeps you from having a fight that may send you home, crying to your mother. The blue diamond also represents good health for the blushing bride to be.

The Bold and Beautiful Red Diamond

If the groom looks on his future bride as a source of strength and stability, he may consider purchasing an engagement ring that is a beautiful shade of red. It is thought that a red diamond is also a tool to relieve stress, so it can help your emotional and mental health once you begin your journey of life together.

Deciding what color and style of engagement ring may be a daunting task for many prospective grooms. You can drop hints by pointing out the styles and designs you like for an engagement ring. When your groom uses color to make a statement of his love for his new bride, it shows that he too is kind and considerate and is dedicated to showing his new wife just how much she means to him.

If you need some wedding favors such as beach wedding favors, silver wedding favors, coaster favors and more we got you covered.

Also we have a wide variety of bottle stopper favors that will be great for your cocktail hour.

Don’t forget the ladies either purchase them some nice bridesmaid gifts they’ll love.

Red Diamond

“When a sapphire crosses over the line of saturation from pink to red and becomes a ruby, you’re usually glad it did,” says Bruce Smith, a fancy color diamond specialist in New York City. “But when a diamond crosses the very same line, you almost always wish it hadn’t.”

Not that pink diamonds, ultra-rare to begin with, stray into red territory all that often. They only do so once in a blue moon. Alas, when they do, says gemologist Stephen Hofer, author of Collecting and Classifying Coloured Diamonds, “their color is never strong enough to justify comparison to lipstick or stop signs.”

Red Diamond on Sale for Over $2.6m

A BRISBANE jeweller has bought a red diamond which he says is only one of only seven ever found in the world.

At 0.54 carats with a diameter of 5.13mm, the brilliant-cut diamond named “The Lady in Red” is not going to set any records for its carat weight.

It’s not going to set any records in clarity, either, being rated as an I1, meaning it has inclusions or flaws visible to the naked eye.

But what it lacks in those respects, is more than made up for in colour, said Cameron Robinson, managing director of Bruce Robinson diamonds.

He bought the stone, mined in Western Australia’s Kimberley region, as one of 65 in the 2006 Argyle Pink Diamond Tender, which is held by invitation only.

Less than one per cent of all the diamonds mined are classed as pink and the chances of finding a red stone have been estimated at one in 60 million, Mr Robinson said.

The purchase price will remain a secret, but it’s for sale again.

“This is a very rare and unique diamond,” he said.

“It started out as a 1.46 carat rough crystal and was cut back to a 54 point (0.54 carat) rough diamond.”

“It’s one of only seven ever found world wide and is exquisite, like a full-bodied red wine.”

The last red diamond sold went for $980,000 a carat 20 years ago, he said.

But Mr Robinson dismissed suggestions a would-be red diamond owner without the cash could pass off a red cubic zirconia costing a few hundred dollars at most as the real thing. It wouldn’t have the “bling”.

“There is a case that could be built for the lustre of the diamond.

“The only thing in the world that has this adamantine lustre is the diamond.”

Its inclusions would also mark it out as the genuine article, unlike the cz which was manufactured flawless.

Mr Robinson says he might part with it, if the price was right.

“It’s not necessarily for sale but I am a bit of a (gemstone) tart and I have grown fond of this diamond.

“And at the end of the day, I am a jeweller still and all reasonable and serious offers will be considered.”

Mr Robinson said he was prepared to look at offers over $US2 million ($2.6 million) and has had three offers already “over seven figures”.

“We only talk US (dollars) when you get into this sort of material because diamonds in essence are an international currency.

“The Argyle tender is in US dollars for this reason.”

The Lady in Red, accompanied by an “escort” of armed guards will be displayed in the window of Bruce Robinson jewellers in the inner Brisbane suburb of New Farm tomorrow.
