One of the frequently asked questions regarding
diamonds is whether natural fancy colored
diamonds are more expensive compared to their white counterparts. The answer to this question depends completely on the quality and value of the
diamond chosen. Red
diamond is the most expensive type in the world, but this does not mean white or other
diamond colors are cheap. Whether in
engagement rings with colored
diamonds or non-colored
diamonds, there are four attributes –-
color, cut, carat, and clarity –- which determine how much the stone in your
diamond ring is worth. The price range of fancy color
diamonds is given below.
- Relatively Affordable- Brown, grey, and fancy yellow diamonds
- Mid-Range- Orange, intense and vivid yellow diamonds
- High Price- Purple, violet, pink, blue, and green diamonds
- Ultra High- Red diamonds
The first category is relatively affordable
diamonds, which are a good alternative to white
diamonds. Among those three, yellow
diamonds are the most expensive. If you want
engagement rings with colored
diamonds, going for the first category would be affordable. In the case of mid-range priced
diamonds, the level of prices varies a lot, according to the intensity of the color. Canary
diamonds are as expensive as white
diamonds. The
diamonds in the third price tier are the ones you always hear of as sold at millions of dollars. When it comes to the last, it is the red
diamonds that top the price range. These
diamonds are extremely rare, with their cost beginning at $10,000 for each carat.
