Coloured Diamonds

The yellow seen in diamonds is caused by the trace element Nitrogen.  Other trace elements create a rainbow of colours in diamonds.  These coloured diamonds are termed "Fancy Colour" diamonds.  They have a separate grading system.  This system begins with any diamond that has a stronger colour than a Z in the standard grading chart.

Colours include pink, yellow, red, and blue.  All are extremely rare and come at a premium to traditional colourless diamonds.
