Why are colored diamonds becoming the new luxury trend?

Colored diamonds are capturing the essence of modern luxury by adding vibrancy to minimalist styles. While colorless diamonds remain classic, those seeking distinction are turning to diamonds in various hues. Yellow diamonds get their color from nitrogen atoms, while brown diamonds result from crystal lattice distortion. The rarest colors—red, green, purple, and orange—alongside pink and blue, command premium prices due to their scarcity.

Hollywood celebrities and athletes are embracing this trend, with figures like Derek Jeter, David Beckham, and Justin Timberlake sporting black diamonds. For those wanting to join this sophisticated movement, Valquère's diamond experts from Antwerp offer handcrafted pieces that tell your unique story.

Decoding the Colour Spectrum: Yellow and Brown Diamonds

When shopping for diamond jewellery, you might see that yellow and brown diamonds are quite common. Have you ever wondered how a diamond gets its colour? Understanding the creation of diamonds will enlighten you on this journey.

Yellow diamonds gain their hue from the presence of nitrogen atoms in the carbon lattice. Brown diamonds carry their earthy tone from the distortion of the crystal lattice, pressed under immense pressure during formation.

Rarest Gems: Red, Green, Purple, and Orange Diamonds

Red, green, purple, and orange are generally among the rarest diamond colours, with pink and blue close behind. The allure of pink diamonds, although limited in supply, has captured many hearts. But owning diamond jewellery embedded with a pink diamond isn't for everybody.

Due to limited availability, pink diamond prices have seen a steady increase, breaking auction records repeatedly.

Even Hollywood isn't immune to the charm of coloured diamonds. Trendsetters and style-icons are increasingly opting for fancy-coloured diamonds. Aspire to exude the same poise and grace? Know which diamond jewellery to choose. And for the men? The Black Diamond has been embraced whole-heartedly, as can be seen in the case of celebrity athletes like Derek Jeter.

David Beckham and Justin Timberlake, too, have sported black diamonds, clearly defining the trend. Want to be part of the trend? Our diamond experts at Valquère, known for their distinctive handcrafted diamond jewellery from Antwerp, are eager to assist you in acquiring the piece of your dreams.
