Most people consider
color diamond rings as an alternative. One of the best examples that you may consider here is the enhanced blue and white
diamond ring design.
When it comes to
diamond color enhancement methods, there are mainly three methods: color coating, irradiation, and HPHT (High-Pressure High Temperature). The
diamond coating method is a temporary treatment method and it is usually done to deceive a
diamond buyer. Here, the
diamonds will discolor over time.
In the case of the irradiation method, a
diamond is subjected to high radiation in order to alter its color. This is a permanent method and is usually used to create blue, pink, and purple
diamonds. However, the
color of your
gemstone may change in the future if it is subjected to further heating during repairs or upgrade.
HPHT
diamond color enhancement method is the most desirable option among
the three. In this case, the
diamond is kept in a chamber and is subjected to high pressure and temperature. Unlike other methods, you can transform colored
diamonds into its colorless counterparts using this method. Usually, cheap brown
diamonds are transformed into expensive white
diamonds using the HPHT method.
