Best Answer

Yes, if they are natural diamonds.

Diamonds can be treated or enhanced to 'bring out' a colour, so a faint pink diamond could be treated to enhance the colour and become a more intense pink.

Enhanced diamonds are of a lesser value than naturally coloured diamonds.

Today, most natural pink diamonds are produced from the Argyle mines in Australia, and are pink based on "...low levels of nitrogen impurities, their colour resulting instead from structural defects of the crystal lattice," according to Wikipedia.

Are the pink diamonds natural or are they colored by man?

Pink diamonds can occur naturally and are rare and valuable. Their pink color is a result of unique conditions during their formation deep within the Earth's crust. However, pink diamonds can also be treated or enhanced through various processes, such as irradiation or high-pressure, high-temperature treatments.


Do colored diamonds occur naturally?

Yes. Coloured diamonds are coloured either by the inclusion of trace amounts of another mineral mixed with carbon -- yellow comes from nitrogen, blue comes from boron -- or based on structural defects: pink. You can read more, below, about how naturally coloured diamonds are graded, and see the rich mix of colours and combinations Mother Nature produces in diamonds.


Where are pink diamonds found?

Generally pink diamonds are found in Australia. Australia's Argyle mine, in far north Western Australia, produces around 90% of the world's supply of pink diamonds. These are the world's only "intense" pink diamonds. Pink diamonds, one of the most rare and expensive diamonds in the world, are also mined in India, Brazil and Africa, but these are lighter in colour.

Are pink diamonds or yellow diamonds more expensive?

Natural pink diamonds are more rare than natural yellow diamonds, probably because the common trace element nitrogen is responsible for a yellow cast in a diamond. Some colourless or 'white' diamonds are considered yellow, when graded with a colour grade from I to Z, as below. Natural pink diamonds exist 'due to structural anomalies" according to Wikipedia, and are very rare. Some diamonds can be altered (or enhanced) to appear yellow or pink, and when altered, are less valuable than naturally colored diamonds.
