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.
What else can I help you with?
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 blue diamonds occur naturally?
Yes, and the natural occurrence of this colour is attributable to the inclusion of boron within the crystal structure of the diamond.
Are pink diamonds naturally pink?
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 candy colored diamonds natural?
Your question can be answered if you clarify what you mean by 'candy coloured'. Natural colours for diamonds are listed in a list of 27 entries, some of which may correspond to colours of some 'candy'. In addition, there are nine intensities of these colours. You can read more about natural diamond colours, below. Apparently, a commercial jeweler is advertising 'candy coloured' diamonds, all of which are enhanced to produce these colours. Enhanced diamonds are less valuable than naturally coloured or unenhanced diamonds.

Can we get diamond in the Philippines?
Only if they are imported or synthetic. Diamonds do not occur naturally in the Philippines.
Are colored diamonds radiated or irradiated?
No, for a naturally coloured diamond, and yes, for a treated diamond with enhanced colour. Any diamond can be treated, either chemically or by radiation, to enhance its natural colour. Many naturally coloured diamonds require no treatment, because their colour is judged to be naturally ideal. A certified gemologist can identify a naturally coloured diamond, and can also identify and describe treatments to a diamond intended to enhance its natural colour.
Are the pink diamonds natural or are they colored by man?

However, pink diamonds can also be treated or enhanced through various processes, such as irradiation or high-pressure, high-temperature treatments.
Is diamond natural occurring?
Yes - diamonds occur naturally in nature. Humans refine their shape to produce gemstones.
Where can one find original colored diamonds?
One can find original colored diamonds to purchase from the 'Original Diamonds' website. They have diamonds listed in colors 'Exceptional White' and 'Rare White'.
Do blue diamonds occur naturally?
Yes, and the natural occurrence of this colour is attributable to the inclusion of boron within the crystal structure of the diamond.
Are chocolate diamonds naturally colored?
'Chocolate' is just one of the modifiers used to identify the colour of a natural diamond in the larger category of 'brown'. Most raw diamonds found fit into the yellow to brown colour range, as below. Some vendors select a specific hue and intensity of brown diamond and market them as chocolate diamonds. In addition, some diamonds are enhanced to fit into this category. So, in direct answer to your query: yes, and some are enhanced to fit this description. Enhanced diamonds are valued lower than naturally coloured diamonds.
Can diamonds be found in Denmark?
There are no naturally occurring sources of diamonds in Denmark.
How long does it take for diamonds to naturally transform into graphite?
It takes millions to billions of years for diamonds to naturally transform into graphite.
Are diamonds red?
Yes, diamonds can be naturally red. In fact, these are the most rare of natural diamonds.
Are pink diamonds naturally pink?

Where are chocolate diamonds mined?
The largest producer of chocolate and other brown-colored diamonds (champagne, cognac) is the Argyle diamond mine in western Australia. Brown colored diamonds are also found in Africa.
