Color & Intensity
When determining the quality and value of a fancy color diamond, three main criteria are considered:
1. Primary Color: The diamond's main color (e.g., pink).
2. Secondary Color: Any addiƟonal hues present in the diamond (e.g., purplish).
3. Color Intensity: The strength of the diamond's color (e.g., fancy, fancy intense, fancy vivid).
The combination of primary and secondary colors defines the tone of the diamond's color, while the intensity level indicates how strong or vivid the color appears. Generally, the more intense the color, the more valuable the diamond becomes.
Fancy color diamonds are classified into several intensity levels:
Faint
Very Light
Light
Fancy Light
Fancy
Fancy Intense
Fancy Vivid/Fancy Deep/Fancy Dark
Understanding these classifications can help you choose a fancy color diamond that meets your preferences and investment goals.
