The
glory of nature is reflected best in its remarkable palette
of colours. With a gorgeous array to play with, it has created
some truly spectacular miracles: diamonds that have
captured the spirit and magic of nature’s brilliant colours
within themselves. These diamonds are treasured for their purity
and rarity, but also for their energy and playfulness, which
comes from the vitality of their hues.
These coloured diamonds really are little miracles of Nature.
The physical conditions needed to colour a diamond naturally
occur very scarcely, which is why natural coloured diamonds
are so rare. Diamonds are primarily made up of carbon molecules,
however, when atomic elements, such as nitrogen or boron or
manganese, are trapped within the crystal lattice, they impart
colour. These particular conditions occur in parts of Africa,
the richest source of coloured diamonds.
Naturally occurring coloured diamonds are so desirable, but
also so rare, that scientists have developed processes to emulate
their colours in laboratories, producing synthetic or enhanced
stones, which cannot claim to be natural. The diamonds set in

are always entirely natural, and therefore each and every diamond
is one of
a
kind. No-one will every own a diamond exactly like yours!
