Although less known than blue or white diamonds, green diamonds are just as fascinating and rare. At Lauredi, we make it a point of honor to offer ethical jewelry, made of 18 carat gold and set with synthetic diamonds, including green diamond options for unique and precious creations. Explore the world of green diamonds with us and discover why they are an essential option for those who wish to stand out with elegance.

What is a Green Diamond?

Green diamonds are formed naturally through exposure to natural radiation beneath the Earth's surface, giving them their characteristic green hue. It is important to note that this process does not make the diamond dangerous or radioactive; the color is simply the result of a change in the crystal structure. The green color varies in intensity from pale to deep green, and this color is sometimes accentuated by slight yellow or blue undertones. Like other colored diamonds, green diamonds are very rare, making them sought-after stones for exclusive jewelry.

At Lauredi, we have chosen to offer synthetic diamonds, created in the laboratory with the same physical characteristics as natural diamonds, but with a more ethical and sustainable approach. This allows us to offer you stones of exceptional beauty, while respecting our commitments to the environment.

How to Choose a Green Diamond: Color and its Evaluation

As with blue diamonds, color is the most important criterion for green diamonds. Green diamonds are graded on a color scale, ranging from light to intense green, similar to that of other colored diamonds. Here's how the scale breaks down:

  • Faint green: The green tint is very light, almost subtle.
  • Very Light Green and Light Green: Green becomes more visible but remains delicate.
  • Fancy Light Green: A more pronounced and recognizable shade of green.
  • Fancy Green: A pure, well-defined green, offering beautiful depth.
  • Fancy Intense Green: A vibrant, saturated shade of green, with a pronounced luminosity.
  • Fancy Vivid Green: The deepest, richest green, the most sought after among green diamonds.
  • Fancy Vivid Green diamonds are the rarest and therefore the most valuable. At Lauredi, we offer a range of green diamonds graded Fancy vivid green so that you can wear the most beautiful diamonds.
