Purple diamonds are extremely rare but being unique and rare makes these gems even more desirable. It is worth mentioning that not all purple diamonds are natural. Some of them are artificially enhanced colored diamonds but that does not mean they are not real. These diamonds are as real as any other diamond. Let’s read a little about colored diamonds and how they are different from the standard, crystal clear diamonds.

INTENSITY LEVELS OF PURPLE DIAMONDS

Purple diamonds are available in multiple color intensity levels. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) does have a grading scale for fancy diamonds. The color grade increases with the richness and saturation of the purple gem. The GIA grading scale includes faint, very light, light, fancy light, fancy, fancy intense, and fancy vivid, fancy deep, or fancy dark categories. As for the rarity, the majority of purple diamonds you will find are overtone colors.
