Top 10 | Most Beautiful and Rare Red Diamonds

Red diamonds are extremely rare and usually quite small as diamonds go, however, their price is not small with some being sold for $1,000,000 per carat! They are ‘new’ diamonds so there is little history to tell with them.
The hue of coloured diamonds is largely influenced by various chemical impurities, such as those caused by nitrogen and boron. Red diamonds, however, are wholly comprised of pure carbon. So how can a stone with no such impurities attain such a magnificent colour?
Experts believe that the red colour is due to rare deformities in the stones’ anatomical structure which resulted from increased stress during their formation. These lattice defects internally bend and refract the light that enters, giving them their characteristic colour. This also explains why colour vibrancy is highly related to the source of light. It has been observed that natural daylight brings out the best and most brilliant red colour, while fluorescent light often causes the diamonds to seem dull.

    Every so often, the Earth shares its fire in the most remarkable of ways. Through the brilliance of the diamond, the Earth has chosen to directly connect itself to its humanity in the most intimate, sanguine path possible. This red stone is the representation of the life of our planet and although it has been valued in dollars, no one person can truly own it. It is the culmination of billions of years in the making. Humans are but the caretaker of such gems. We are but wrinkles in our Earth's time.

    That diamonds can reflect red light without the presence of impurities or chromophores is so fascinating to me. The color is likely the product of shifted carbon atoms moved during the high-pressure environments in which diamonds form. Red gemstones are my favorite; next to spinel and ruby, red diamond has got to be my favorite example of that color in a gemstone.

    Hello Brian, there a lot of ways but lets make it simple, Ruby itself is made of multiple elements to make its color, while red diamond is just carbon but the exact reason why it is red is due to the light being bend by the diamond. Another thing is rubies has inclusions and they glow they don’t shimmer. The diamond on the other hand doesn’t glow but they shimmer.
