When thinking about diamonds it is natural that your mind would wander immediately to pure, crystal clear glittering beauty. The idea of coloured diamonds may seem quite alien; it certainly was to me, however there is a whole rainbow of naturally coloured diamonds out there- be it yellow, green, or even pink there is a coloured diamond out there for everyone and there are good reasons to move away from tradition and give them a go.

Prestige: One reason to consider coloured diamonds is how prestigious they are; royalty has sported them for years, as well as top celebrities such as Beyonce and Victoria Beckham. Therefore, owning and wearing coloured diamond jewellery can bring with it a celebrity like image.

Impact: Of course a well cut, hefty carat traditional diamond will cause a stir when the wearer presents it, but with a coloured diamond you could command just as much attention whilst sporting a far more delicate piece of jewellery. A coloured diamond will cause intrigue and also serve as a conversation starter at social events.

Investment Opportunity: The purchase of coloured diamonds brings with it a sound investment. Because of their relative rarity and increasing demand the value of these gems is going up and up. Buy your beauty and wear it now, knowing you also have something to fall back on in the future should it be required.

Individuality: There is a coloured diamond out there to suit everyone’s taste and budget. With a dozen recognised colours, some being rarer than others it is easy to find something you will love and that will suit your personality. Prices will vary depending on the rarity of your chosen colour, but if you are in to unique jewellery and making a statement then this is definitely an avenue to explore.
