Charm Of Red Diamond
• Coloured Diamonds come in various shapes & sizes. What makes 
them special is their hue & rarity. Red Diamond crowns to be the 
rarest diamond of all the gemstones. The dainty red diamond appears 
to be the rarest & pricey gemstone. It is hard to find a perfect Red 
Diamond devoid of any hues.
• The coloured diamonds generally get their hue due to chemical 
impurities such as nitrogen and boron. Red Diamonds are formed due 
to the presence of pure carbon without any foreign elements or 
impurities. It’s the slight deformity in the atomic structure of the 
carbon atoms which sets the bright red tone. The Red Diamonds 
shine sparkling best under the natural daylight & appear much 
different under fluorescent light.

• The diamond mines around the world might be many, but Red Diamonds 
are found in a selected few countries like Australia, Brazil, Russia & India. 
Amongst all these mines, the Argyle mines of Australia are known for the 
discovery of their pink & red diamonds. To find a perfect red diamond is an 
extreme rarity. This rarity along with sky-high prices makes it less 
accessible to consumers. But from 1957 till 1987, no Red Diamonds were 
found. Unbelievable isn’t it?
• It is believed that the largest-ever Red Diamond known as the “Moussaieff 
Red Diamond” or the “Red Shield” was discovered in the ’90s by a farmer 
in Brazil. It weighed an astounding 13.90 carats when it was found. The 
Diamond was then purchased by The William Goldberg Diamond 
Corporation in New York. But after undergoing the process of fine cutting & 
polishing now the Diamond weighs around 5.11 carats.

• What separates the Red Diamond form other coloured diamonds is the 
grade. Coloured diamonds are further classified based on intensity, but in 
Red Diamond there exists only one grade: Fancy Red. Many Red Diamonds 
do contain secondary colours like Purple, Brown, and orange. Nonetheless, 
the stronger the red colour, the higher the value of the diamond.
• The value of any Red Diamond is fairly evaluated using the principle of the 
4C’s. When determining the cost of a particular diamond, the colour makes 
a huge impact on the cutting of the stone as well as the pricing of the 
stone. The diamonds are cut keeping in view the colour and the intensity of 
the gemstone.
• The flawless, enigmatic Red Diamond exudes royalty in every aspect.
