Fancy Green Diamonds
Where Nature’s Green Becomes Eternal
Natural fancy green diamonds are among the rarest treasures on earth, with only a select few entering the market each year. Their extraordinary color is the result of a geological process that unfolds over millions of years, making each stone a quiet marvel of time, pressure, and chance. Prized for their purity and depth of hue, green diamonds offer an unmistakable sense of rarity and distinction, an exceptional choice for those seeking an engagement ring as uncommon and enduring as the story it represents.
The History of Natural Green Diamonds
Natural green diamonds are extremely rare; only a handful are introduced into the market each year. Pure green diamonds are valued more than those that are yellowish-green or gray-green.
Fancy green diamonds are sourced from South Africa and other parts of the continent. The green color comes from being near radioactive sources during formation. This process takes at least a million years to occur, hence their rarity!
The most famous green diamond is the 41-carat Dresden Green Diamond. It has a historical record dating to 1722, when a London news-sheet carried an article about it in its 27th edition. It is currently housed at the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen in Dresden and is viewable to the public.
