Why are colored diamonds more valuable?
Bright diamonds are rare in nature. Most crystals are almost transparent. A diamond gets its color when a foreign substance gets into its structure during its formation.
⠀
The most famous collection of colored diamonds is the Aurora Pyramid of Hope. It is stored in the London Natural History Museum.
⠀
Jewelers use a different cut for such diamonds, since the color is refracted differently in them. Such stones are also called Fancy.
⠀
Paradoxically, only completely transparent diamonds can compete in price with colored diamonds. Many jewelry houses have colored diamonds.
⠀
Many stars consider it a source of pride to have jewelry with colored diamonds in their wardrobe. Among such owners are Jennifer Lopez with a Harry Winston ring and Blake Lively with a Lorraine Schwartz ring.

Interestingly, the prototype of the famous jewelry from the movie "Titanic" became a real decoration - a large blue Hope diamond, which was long owned by Cartier and is now in the Smithsonian University.
