In fact, a diamond sparkling with intense color is so rare that it can be valued higher than a colorless diamond.

The color in natural fancy colored diamonds is present because of presence of certain elements like nitrogen, boron, etc. which were introduced in diamonds by nature during their formation in earth).

Each natural fancy colored diamond is different not only because of its natural body color but also because of the way it is shaped and finally polished. Most natural fancy colored diamonds are cut into cushion or radiant shapes forms, which best bring out the depth of hue.

Cutting deeper pavilions and creating different facets may intensify color.
