Green Diamonds

The green nature diamond is formed through exposure to radiation during its formation process. Unlike other colored diamonds, its formation is not impurity-based, which further increases its value. These diamonds are forged deep in the Earth’s mantle, and their colour is acquired post-formation. When beta and gamma rays penetrate the crystal over a consistent period, the green hues form. This process varies and can sometimes be interrupted or mixed with impurities, which is what gives rise to other hues like yellow and brown mixing into the green. 

How Do Green Diamonds Compare to Other Fancy Colours?

A green diamond has the highest rarity among fancy diamonds because of its unique formation process. It is ranked highly along with other rare stones like pink and blue. The vivid shades are even rarer and command the highest prices because of their purity and are among the most expensive stones you can purchase. A diamond green ring will, on average, cost more than other hues like Orange and yellow. Other jewellery usually follows the same pattern, but you can get affordable options depending on the cut and carat.
