Are color enhanced diamonds real/natural?
The enhancements listed on this website are only suitable
for natural diamond crystals. How are the diamonds colored?
An analogy can be drawn from the old fashioned Cathode Ray Tubed (CRT) Televisions. An electron gun fires electrons onto a
phosphor coated screen. When electrons hit the phosphor it produces luminence. There are three different types of phosphors on
the screen to generate three primary colors. These primary colors combine to produce the final color on the screen. The luminence is temporary.
At our lab similar process takes place. High energy electrons are made to hit the diamond crystals. This produces changes in the
lattice structure of the crystals giving them charateristic color depending on the intrinsic property of the diamond.
The only difference is that this change in the diamond crysttal is permanent and thus produces permanent coloration in the crystals. Is the color permanent? Does it fade over time?
The color in the color enhanced diamonds is permanent.
It is not affected by normal wear or time or acids. The color
is also stable under extreme heat. But, it is advisible just as in case
of natural color-diamonds not to expose them to heat over 1000 degrees Fahrenheits. Where are these diamonds colored?
All diamonds listed on this website and enhanced by Prism Gem are exclusively processed in our sofisticated
labs in the United States. How can I see my question here?
