You
start with a low color (P, Q, R, etc.) 100% natural diamond that has already
been cut and polished, then it is exposed to a stream of fast electrons. During
this part of the process the diamond will turn to a very dark color because
some of the atoms in the diamond's crystal structure have now been dislocated
and this in turn has affected the way light passes through the diamond. Next
the diamond goes through a controlled heating (annealing) process, this allows
some of those atoms to relocate (partially repaired) in order to obtain a
desired color. Process #3- Coated Color Enhanced Diamonds- The coating on
polished diamonds refers to a thin artificial layer that alters the color of
the diamond. The coating can either be of the desired color or can cause a
colored interference-effect. Unfortunately sometimes this process is done to
deceive a buyer. It is a relatively easy process to perform, it has been around
for many years (although the coatings materials are much better now), and it
does not require a lot of expensive high tech equipment.
Recently, I've seen some pink coated diamonds on the market, they are very attractive.... and of course you would have to purchase them knowing that they have been coated and follow your jeweler's guidelines about owning and caring for these color enhanced diamonds. The coating can be applied to the whole of a diamond's surface, just the bottom of the diamond, or to a narrow zone near the girdle. A well-applied coating can change the color by one or more color grade. Some coatings can be removed through boiling in acid, strong cleaning solutions, or even household chemicals. Sometimes dots or larger areas of purple or blue ink are painted on the diamond to help counteract a yellowish color. The diamond's setting will usually cover the dots, so they are difficult to see in a mounted stone. So, is a color enhanced diamond right for you?
