The Enchantment of Pink Diamonds
Pink diamonds are rare, captivating gemstones, celebrated for their romantic, one-of-a-kind hues. Less well known than white or blue diamonds, pink diamonds bring a touch of softness and refinement to any piece of jewelry.
They are among the rarest diamonds in the world. They were mined in Australia, at the Argyle mine, which closed in 2021. This means they are becoming even rarer.
This enables us to offer ethical, long-lasting creations. Our jewelry is also timelessly beautiful. Discover why pink diamonds are perfect for those who seek understated, romantic luxury. They are also environmentally responsible.
What Is a Pink Diamond?
Pink diamonds result from a natural alteration of their internal structure. This distortion creates pinkish tones, ranging from pale pink to vivid pink, sometimes with violet or orange undertones.
Unlike certain other colored diamonds, pink diamonds do not get their color from the presence of a specific chemical element. Rather, it is their different atomic structure that makes each stone truly unique. Rare and highly sought after, pink diamonds are often associated with femininity, tenderness, and love. They are a perfect choice for meaningful jewelry, a special gift, or a marriage proposal.
At Lauredi, we offer laboratory-grown pink diamonds. They are created in a laboratory. They have the same brilliance and the same structure as natural diamonds.
By using laboratory-grown diamonds, we reduce our impact on the environment while offering stones of exceptional quality.
How to Choose a Pink Diamond: Color and Its Grading
The main criterion for choosing a pink diamond is, without question, color. A pink diamond’s color is graded on a scale ranging from light tones to vivid, intense tones. Here is how this color scale breaks down:
- Faint Pink: A very soft color, almost imperceptible, adding a subtle hint of pink.
- Very Light Pink and Light Pink: The pink is present yet remains delicate, ideal for a discreet look.
- Fancy Light Pink: A more pronounced pink, perfect for a touch of refinement.
- Fancy Pink: A well-defined, lively shade, ideal for those looking for a classic pink diamond.
- Fancy Intense Pink: A rich, deep pink that draws the eye with its distinctive brilliance.
- Fancy Vivid Pink: The most intense and most precious pink, a true treasure in the world of diamonds.
Fancy Vivid Pink diamonds are the rarest and most sought after. At Lauredi, we set only Fancy Vivid Pink pink diamonds. This allows you to enjoy the beauty of a radiant stone with a rich, deep pink.
