Natural Coloured diamonds are the rarest form of diamonds. They are the result of a one-in-a-million occurrence where chemical impact on the creation of the diamond, and this process is what lends these stones their incredible colours. Coloured diamonds are graded on their own system, also set up by the GIA. This system works on the degree of colour intensity. Natural coloured diamonds come in a whole spectrum of colours, including Grey, Yellow, Pink, Green, Blue being the second rarest, and Red being the most rare. There are also Champagne Diamonds and Cognac Diamonds, in various shades of Chocolatey Brown. Read more about all the different colours of diamonds here.


Sapphire
Sapphires are part of the Corundum family of gems. Rubies are also a part of this family. Sapphires come in so many different colours. Most people associate Sapphire with the deep blue that is the colour of the centre stone in Princess Diana (Now the Duchess of Cambridge’s) Engagement ring. But Sapphires actually come in a whole spectrum of colours. They come in Green, Pink, Purple, Orange, Yellow, and sometimes they can also have multiple colours within one stone. This phenomenon in Sapphires is called Partition, leading to these special Sapphires often being called ‘Parti Sapphires’.
Sapphires are a preferred gemstone for Engagement and Wedding Jewellery, as well as Heirloom Jewellery, because of its durable hardness (a 9 on Moh’s Scale of Hardness), high lustre and rich, intense colours.
