Pink CVD lab-grown products can be separated from natural and treated-colour natural pink diamonds by a combination of gemmological and spectroscopic properties, which are explored in this study.
Read MoreThis study uses both historical information and modern data to create a computer model of the Tavernier Blue, orienting the finished diamond within the original diamond crystal.
Read MoreKnowledge of type allows gemmologists to better evaluate if a diamond might be treated or synthetic, and whether it should be sent to a laboratory for testing.
Read MoreWith the use of modern tools and technology, this article sheds light on the history and provenance of both the French Blue and the Hope diamonds.
Read MoreThis article describes what is known about the Wittelsbach Blue since it was first reported in 1666, and the gemmological information released to date on this diamond.
Read MoreA large number of natural-colour yellow diamonds are analysed using grading and appearance aspects among other characteristics to clarify the differences between them and the light yellow diamonds associated with GIA's D-to-Z colour grading scale.
Read MoreThe Diamond Trading Company (DTC) Research Centre had the opportunity to examine a diamond that, on submission to a commercial gem laboratory, turned out to be a coated pink diamond.
Read MoreUsing a multi-step process, Lucent Diamonds has developed a new treatment process for certain natural diamonds that creates colours from pink-purple to red to orangey brown.
Read MoreThis article compares some of Chatham Created Gems’ synthetic coloured diamonds to natural diamonds and explains the results.
Read MoreBlack and dark grey diamonds from Siberia, Russia, were studied by analytical scanning and transmission electron microscopy.
