The pink diamond is called the Pink Star, which is one of the world's most valuable and famous pink diamonds. It is known for its exceptional quality and size, making it a highly coveted and sought-after gemstone.
The term 'pink diamond' is adequate, unless you're a gemologist and want to define the saturation level of pink, the shade of pink and so forth. You can learn more about the additional vocabulary for describing coloured diamonds, below.
'Rare' used to describe a natural diamond describes many diamonds. Red is generally acknowledged as the most rare natural colour in diamonds. Then, the Moussaieff Red, could be called the world's rarest diamond. You can read more about this stone, below.
To determine if a pink diamond is real, first look for a consistent color that is evenly distributed throughout the stone, as natural pink diamonds exhibit subtle color zoning. Additionally, check for imperfections or inclusions using a jeweler's loupe; real diamonds often have unique internal characteristics. Finally, consider having the diamond certified by a reputable gemological laboratory, which can provide an official evaluation of its authenticity and quality.
No, the Hope Diamond is not the most expensive diamond in the world. While it is one of the most famous and valuable diamonds, there are other diamonds that are more expensive due to their size, clarity, and color.
Yes, though it is extremely rare. Natural diamonds can be pink and many other colors as well. Diamonds can be irradiated to enhance a faint pink colour. However, to be sure of a diamond's natural colour you should take it to a qualified jeweler or gemologist. Natural diamond colour is affected by the inclusion of trace minerals within the lattice, and plastic deformation. Diamond color can also be affected by irradiation. Plastic deformation is the cause of color in pink diamonds. Pink is a very rare natural diamond color. Because of its rarity, pink is a favourite colour to sell, and generally, unless you have a certificate from a certified gemologist that the pink stone is a natural pink diamond, your pink stone is probably irradiated or not a real diamond.
It's difficult to understand which pink diamond you're referencing, but yes, there are pink diamonds that are real diamonds. Pink diamonds are among some of the rarest and most valuable stones.

Diamonds have been part of human history for the past 6,000 years. The person who found the first pink diamond has a name that has been lost to history.
A pink diamond is a fancy-coloured diamond, generally used for adornment in jewelery.
Any pink diamond is known as a pink diamond, and its description may include 'fancy', 'intense', 'light' and so forth. Pink diamonds can also be described as pink-purple, and more. You can follow the link below and find three important pink diamonds in the list.
The weight of a pink diamond can vary greatly depending on its size and quality. Pink diamonds can be found in a wide range of weights, from a fraction of a carat to several carats. The weight of a pink diamond is typically measured in carats, with one carat being equivalent to 0.2 grams.
Any diamond mine can practically deliver any colour of diamond. However, Australian diamond mines are currently building and enhancing their reputation for pink diamonds. You can read more, below.
Given the same carat weight, clarity and cut, you will pay more for a pink diamond than for a 'white' or colourless diamond.
Actually, you don't make a diamond pink, but Mother Nature does. Pink diamonds are usually caused by the distortion experienced by the stone during formation deep within the earth's mantle, and eventual eruption to the earth's surface.
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.
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.
