Diamonds have natural colors because of the crystallization process. The amount of heat and pressure under the earth’s surface gives it the colors. Depending on the circumstances under the earth, the diamonds come in varied colors to choose from.

Fancy diamonds are the colored loose diamonds. They come in intense colors and are much more expensive than their colorless counterparts. Rare colored diamonds, as the name implies, are hard to find stones such as pink, purple and brown. Some common colors of diamonds are yellow, blue and orange.

Diamonds that have intense blue colors represent peace, spirituality, youth and loyalty. Green diamonds represent wealth and also jealousy. Red diamonds show confidence and power and also romance. Purple diamonds, because of its extreme rarity, means luxury, opulence, and royalty.

Most of the pink and brown diamonds are mined from the Argyle diamond mine in Australia. Colored diamonds can also be mined from South Africa, Brazil, and Venezuala.
