Also known lovingly as ‘pumpkin diamonds’, cheery and energetic orange diamonds are eye-catching in every tone ranging from peach to vivid and fiery. Most orange diamonds have red, brown, yellow or pink undertones. In fact, a single-tone pure orange fancy colored diamond is considered extremely rare and fourth or fifth in line after red, violet, pink and blue.
The orange color comes from the presence of Nitrogen (the same element that imparts yellow color to a diamond), arranged in a way that is termed ‘hyper-specific’.. This is done by the absorption of blue and some yellow light resulting in orange color. Most of the orange diamonds we sell come from the Argyle mine in Australia or South Africa.
As with all fancy colored diamonds, if you are looking for a specific shade or hue, a lab-grown diamond or color-treated natural diamond might be the best choice, especially considering the absolute rarity of natural orange diamonds.
